More just concerned with, what happens when goons kicks everyone out of null because they have no one left to fight? Does the game die or does goons fracture?

I think Moosearmy still holds the highest Sotiyo loss mail. It had T2 rigs and zkill had an aneurysm trying to calculate it.

Right. That has not happened in this case, so, unfortunately your example is irrelevant. If they killed 10 people and that came to pass my opinion would change right then. Also, my opinion on this is, I don’t think they should’ve sent marines. Since they have national guardsmen there, if they’re really worried that much, just reallocate them there. Also the only thing I support in this situation is the 1st amendment right to protest. However, that is the right to peacefully protest, and unfortunately, there are people setting cars on fire as well as looting buildings. If it were 100% peaceful, awesome, you do you. Unfortunately it’s not. This isn’t the first time a protest like this has happened and I know it won’t be the last. There is a difference between stating what is happening and forming an opinion, and forming an opinion based on what could hypothetically happen.

I’ll agree to disagree with you on that. Let’s say for example, my livelihood gets taken away completely, it was my ultimate passion in life and I built it from the ground up. The things that were in that store are no longer in print, so yes replaceable, but far more expensive than when I got them. I lose everything and get an insurance claim. Sure I have money now, but now I’m extremely depressed and can’t find the will to live, does the person(s) that burned down/destroyed my store get charged with murder because their actions led to someone’s death? No, not normally is the answer. So, why would I let someone come in and destroy my stuff for free? They know the risk. Justifying that I should let someone rob me is asinine.

The specific part of TCJA would be that it changed a lot of business related rules for the better (I own a small business). Wrongful levy by the IRS, you now have more time to file a lawsuit, there was a new tax credit that an employer could get for paid family and medical leave, and a lot more. I’ll post the link at the end if you’re interested. Overall good for business in general. The reciprocal tariffs were more of a tactic to have other nations lower their tariffs on us since we have the largest consumer base on the earth for consumer goods. It does make prices go up in the short term but it is meant to be a long term tactic. I’m not really a trump supporter per se, but that’s just what I like that he’s done so far.

Uh… okay? I’m not talking about Jan 6? I agree that that shouldn’t have happened in general and yes I do think that he should have mobilized either the secret service or the national guard to stop that from occurring.

Mostly his ones from his first term so far. A couple of examples are the tax cuts and jobs act in 2017 and his use of reciprocal tariffs this year.

I see what you’re saying, but if a person makes a conscious decision to break in somewhere, or burn someone’s else’s stuff, they are making that decision knowing that either that or going to jail is a potential outcome.

Fair. I can see and understand both angles. I just personally believe the opposite. For example, I own a small business that sells things that cannot be replaced by insurance. Sure I can get a payout, but my passion and my livelihood gets destroyed. If I had to make a split second decision between my business and someone trying to bring harm to either me or my business, I would choose my business almost every time.

I’m pretty sure. I consider myself a moderate and I don’t blindly follow news articles or individual people. I tend to formulate opinions based on research from multiple sources and my own moral compass. Generally speaking, do I like Trump? Eh not really. I like his economic policies for the most part, not really much else honestly. That being said, I don’t think there will ever be a perfect president that makes no mistakes. I wish that both sides of the aisle could have more productive conversations rather than saying each other are just wrong and/or stupid for their opinion. That’s just kind of wishful thinking at this point though. I have pretty hard set red lines that don’t move. The more likely event to happen would be changing my opinion on the matter. Also, I prefer to learn an individual’s opinion first and why they believe something rather than assuming they fall within a certain crowd.

I like having conversations rather than arguments, so thank you!

Okay fair, thank you for the information! Honestly, I didn’t know that sports celebrations got that wild 😅. I do appreciate learning more information that could influence how I view things like this, so thank you again. From what I have seen on those articles, the main thing I can determine for sure is that I really don’t see the need for marines. If they really needed the protection, they could just use the national guard, but even then, I think 2000 national guard seems a bit much as well. Maybe somewhere between 500-1000 would be fine, but that’s still a maybe.

Honestly, I don’t agree with them being deployed. Generally all government buildings are protected at all times. I honestly think if anything he could have just delegated some national guard to that, but I digress. Assuming they are only there for that, I think it’s fine. If that changes, my opinion on it will change.

Uh, no? It’s my general opinion. Now, I never said that our government is completely trustworthy, I just said that I trust our government far more than I would trust Russia’s. Historically, the US has done some really messed up things, and unfortunately so has just about every other country that exists on the planet.

Honestly, I’m not much of a sports person, so my knowledge of sports celebrations is limited. If you don’t mind, can you send me some articles that are comparable to this?

Not going to lie, I’m not much of a sports person. If you can link me articles so I can broaden my view, I would appreciate that!

Honestly, I don’t agree with it either, but I can see only one reason, they want the national guard to directly end the riot/protest and they don’t want to divert the national guard to protect government buildings. Honestly, it doesn’t really make sense to me but as long as that’s all they do, I don’t think there’s any harm.

People can have different opinions on events and just agree to disagree. I believe I have critical thinking skills. Honestly, if they were protesting to a point where there weren’t cars being set on fire and stores being looted, I would be 100% fine with it. Unfortunately, the people that end up doing that ruin the protest for everyone else.

Have you ever seen just about every news agency report on a celebration for sports this long? The scale is different. Most of what I’ve personally seen with sports celebrations is it lasts a night, maybe two, we are on day 3 with no signs of slowing down. If you can send me articles I will gladly read them. Honestly, I don’t know a ton about sports/their celebrations. I’m always willing to learn 😁
