No they don't. Gameplay, story, character development... these things make games. Specs can enhance the experience, but a good looking piece of crap is still a piece of crap. The XBOne is more powerful than the PS4, but it got murdered

In what way is it not payment? Money is an abstraction over goods. The toddler example is just silly for obvious reasons and neither here nor there. What I'm saying is that article tries to frame housework as something that should be p

I'm not sure how you can argue that women who don't enter the workforce aren't being paid for house work. They don't get a check, sure, but they get food, clothing, a home, a cell phone, etc. Seems like double dipping. I

If labor remains fixed then people as a whole have more money. Prices go up due to inflation and increased demand, no? I realize that's simplistic, but is it not generally true?

So... You guys roll out a free service. You tell your sales people to hype it up as a benefit over other providers. You somehow don't anticipate that some users will "abuse" the free service, so you hike up rates for everyone

Nearly every brokerage now has zero fee trades, just like RH. They weren't down Monday.

Ah yes, ISP's; the most beloved of corporate entities, and not in any way aided by regional duopolies. RH isn't an ISP, and being down for an entire day of trading is a big deal . If I don't like my ISP... welp, I'm pre
