I've seen a lot of dislike for bernie sanders here, and I was hoping someone could point out what parts of his policies are good and bad economics, or point me to where someone already has. What him and his supporters seem to be promising seems to good to be true, and he comes of as a populist to me. Also, every time someone asks him how he's going to get things done he just repeats the tired platitude of "we need to come together."

How come, whenever /u/Integralds posts music it's crappy. Why not something good like this or this or this.

I listened to Rammstein... when I was 13-15. I try listening to them now but their music makes adult me nauseous. Limp Bizkit too!

when I was 13-15

I hated Rammstein at that aged, but I was much less psychologically balanced than I am now. The aggressive and sadistic tendencies of many of their songs are cathartic in many ways, I find.

Limp Bizkit too!

The worst part about this is that it didn't make you nauseous while you were 13-15. Not immediately vomiting in the presence of such filth should really be high treason, punishable by flogging until death.

and Associates.

And just who are these "associates", hmm? The Bilderberg Group? Freemasons? I'm onto you.

Hillary, at least here at BadEcon, she seems to be the resounding top choice now.

Recently I asked a question about the relationship between video game companies and "content creators." Now I'm curious about the relationship between those companies and their consumers.

Someone made the good observation that gamers are a populist bunch — at least on the Internet — and tend to become outraged at companies for perceived overreaches of their market power. Some targets of this outrage include preorder bonus, timed exclusivity, season passes, and microtransactions. I was curious whether you think these outrages are justified, or if they're just trying to cover greater costs of modern gaming without upping the basic price, like I suspect.
