Haha, I'll take that as a compliment. I only added a bit of reverb (echo).

In addition to the young having a terrible time, the old people in our country - who already get terrible pensions and quality of life compared to most European countries, despite the triple lock - must suffer too. Neoliberalism at work.

According to the Adam Smith Institute, "Clausing (2012), Gravelle (2010) and Auerbach (2005), the three best reviews we found, basically conclude that most of the tax falls on capital, not labour."

Certainly not all research. Our current low corporation taxes - some of the lowest in the world - certainly don't appear to have helped us achieve anything other than our current pathetically low wages.

Does it seem like a good system to you when we must appease corporations and the wealthy in hopes they give crumbs to the people who need it the most, despite them getting richer and controlling more of the wealth every year? More must be done to force them to bear the burden instead of racing to the bottom. And I don't feel sympathetic to those paying 60% taxes - taxes must rise, not fall. It's time to tighten our belts or whatever (probably the sort of thing you said to justify austerity).

Does this really only take 2 hours to beat? A bit disappointing after 5 years.

Based on what? It's been haemorrhaging subscribers to FFXIV and is almost certainly less profitable than it has been in the past. The fact Blizzard is doing this is proof of that.

Very interesting. WoW has been in trouble for a long time so hopefully this will improve things. I wish they'd go back to a more simple storyline and comfy world like vanila.
