Yeah, it's a shame. I always considered myself so fortunate to be American, I still do. But it's sad to see the way things have progressed over the last 20 years. The 24/7 news cycle leading into the 2004 election really changed the way people are keyed into things. We ended up with Obama in 2008 as a result. He got a bunch of people worked up and energized, which directly led to Trump in 2016 which got a whole other group worked up and energized. Now everybody here is polarized and looking for something to be mad about. A far cry from what I grew up with in the 1990s.
Anyway, if people think inflation is bad now, just wait until these tariffs hit. As I said, I was already kind of looking at an end game with sixth scale and am just hoping for a few last characters at this point, but if the economy goes the way it seems it could, I think a lot of folks will be jumping ship next year already.
I just really hope Lim gets Nate and John out in the next 30 days, and announces Dutch, Sully, Joel and Ellie...whatever else they have planned so people can plan ahead. It's going to be incredibly important to map out your spending on this hobby moving forward.
