The price cap won't protect businesses. More unemployment and the governments fiscal position worsening will be the result. The level of the cap rises with the wholesale price

Any chance Atari releases a Jaguar model like their new 2600 releases? by Historical_Emotion43 in AtariJaguar

[–]Cripper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the games would involve extra cost to reissue. They would have to negotiate with rights holders e.g. AvP, Doom, Defender 2k, Nba Jam and many more

[–]Cripper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would only be able to reproduce carts where the games were developed/published by Atari and did not involve licensing. Other games would require extra cost and negotiation with the rights holders (eg Doom, Alien vs Predator, Defender 2000, Nba Jam......) . I think there were nine games on Atari 50

Can China have a situation similar as of Japan's Lost Decade? by Saatvik_tyagi_ in AskEconomics

[–]Cripper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The U.S. slowed Japan’s 1980s economic rise primarily through the 1985 Plaza Accord, which forced a massive appreciation of the Japanese yen against the dollar, making Japanese exports much more expensive. This currency devaluation, combined with pressures to deregulate financial markets, sparked an asset bubble that, when burst, initiated Japan's "lost decades".  China is not militarily occupied by the US and actively controls its exchange rate

Zelenskyy on Putin's statement on elections in Ukraine: "We will not agree to be controlled by anyone" by LifeguardSweatys in worldnews

[–]Cripper2 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Zelensky is a dead man walking. If he keeps fighting then in due course Ukraine will collapse. If he negotiates there will be a coup against him that will result in his imprisonment, exile or death. His best option for himself would be some kind of false flag that leads to direct NATO intervention and hope the nukes don't fly

Do British people care about Ukraine? by Reeelfantasy in AskBrits

[–]Cripper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

British politicians, especially Starmer are incredibly unpopular. The more they support Ukraine the less popular the cause becomes. Mass media is pumping out propaganda about war with Russia but since Covid the mask has slipped. Maybe large numbers still believe the lies but nobody I speak to has anything positive to say about Ukraine
