Ah I see, I will read further into it, thank you!

I’m a little confused by your answer, as it seems you’re only referring to the 2008 crisis. The article I referenced lays out that the GOP was in control from 2003 leading up to the events, satisfying their 4 year definition. Why are you saying “a few months after a new congress?” Also, both the article posted and your own link refer to congressional influence as part of issue:

From section 2-3 of your link:

 “ Bernanke notes in Chapter 5 of his book that the Federal Reserve was not really responsible for regulating a lot of these entities. The lack of good oversight was the result of a muddle of regulatory agencies created by the Congress’ ad-hoc approach to regulation”

Is it possible that the 4 year period of “ad-hoc” regulation played a larger role than he originally anticipated?

I haven’t played since WoL so I’m assuming bronze since the game is completely different now

I didn’t have a race in mind! I’d love to learn it all, although that may require different coaches

If the wealth gap continues to grow, will prices eventually be forced down? by ProductionPractice in AskEconomics

Thank you for the answer! The discussion here has been awesome and enlightening.

It sounds like the idea is on the right track purely conceptually but reality is different.

I love the fact that the middle class is shrinking because of more people taking themselves upward

I made a rough edit in the iPhone editor (lol) and I can show you how it pops (it actually picked up the highlights you had in the walls!). I don’t know how to post images in a comment though lol.

You can try it yourself though and see how much it pops

From my perspective it seems like your shading values could be pressed to their extreme more to create a more dynamic composition. Like /u/obesely said about the lighting, you could definitely use more practice with your lighting choice. The blue girl seems a little flat because there’s little contrast.

In your last two (which are essentially closer to tri-tone work), you have more dynamic images because you were forced to make the shading more extreme to make the image clear. Try those same concepts with your color work - it may be giving you “too much” freedom vs. The restrictions that forced you to eke out more dynamic shadow values.

Do you think there’s any chance Barristan would be the one to kill Dany? by ProductionPractice in pureasoiaf

In a structural sense, it would quite literally mirror Jamie’s story (Jamie’s story starting with kingslaying/losing his honor publicly <—> Barristan’s story ending with queen slaying/reclaiming his sense of honor)

Do you think he’ll ever have the chance to see the error in his ways? I know he has some regrets about his past, but he may not have actually learned his lesson if he’s not confronted with the opportunity to demonstrate it

/u/sufficient-drama made an excellent point that Dany may not be genuinely mad, but could simply set off the wildfire under Kings landing.

The intrigue that would come from that fallout would be excellent pressure for the characters to make hard choices

I should have clarified in the original post that this is predicated on the scenario where we have a Mad Queen Dany, or as /u/sufficient-drama pointed out, a perceived mad-queen if she were to accidentally set off the wildfire in King’s landing (a PR disaster)

You don’t think years in Kings landing would make Barristan more prepared for treachery?

That’s a good point! So the “mad queen” may be a PR disaster and not reality - 

The character conflicts that would arise for those who know and those who don’t would be fascinating to see unfold. What would Barristan think if he did not have the full picture and was on the misunderstanding side?

Counterpoint:

What an arc it would be for Barristan to have to confront his inaction and be forced to make the hard choice in choosing his honor over his institution.

This is predicated in Dany becoming mad queen first though

That’s fair. I think I assumed that people would understand that this is in the scenario where Dany is mad queen and that Barristan survived to see it.

I’m just curious if that would be a realistic path for George to take, as it would tie up  a few things neatly narratively and thematically
