  • Having worked at many companies in many different industries over the past few decades, it has been my experience that almost no one knows anything from the C-level to the entry level. This includes myself. We are not important cogs in the machine. The vast majority of any jobs in any business could be entirely removed and everything would continue moving forward without them. So the reason corporate America isn’t seeing any productivity gains is because you do not get a productivty increase by using AI to automate doing nothing. You’ve already reached maximum productivty by being useless and providing no value.





  • You know after PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds moved from being an Arma mod to a standalone game using the Unreal engine… Their developers at Unreal worked closely with PUBG to modify the engine during the Battle Royale craze a few years ago. Epic took those engine changes that PUBG was basically funding and this led to creating Fortnite. Now that Epic had a copycat battle royale game, they needed a game store, and created the Epic Games Store to compete with Steam. The goal was to have a distribution channel for other games built on the Unreal engine. The new Epic Games Store cut for developers was 12% instead of 30% from Steam. But there was a hidden cost in that the engine itself required a license fee, somewhere between 5 and 10% of the revenue. So really, he is just mad that after all these years, Steam is still in the lead and the Epic Games Store would charge close to 30% (if it could)…





  • While the political attack defense is definitely part of it, there has been a bipartisan and long running fraud investigation in Minnesota. It began in the Biden admin, and runs parallel to state investigations into a scheme where Federal and State money was obtained under false pretenses and sometimes transferred overseas. A large portion of it did happen in the Somali communities and some of this money is believed to have entered the political scene through various forms of donations and quid pro quo. In that, if those in the state and potentially those who serve in Washington acted to maintain the money flow and received compensation for it, then that could help form the basis of a RICO investigation. Even the city of Minneapolis politicans are implicated in it because Mayor Frey’s wife was an attorney for many of the ones who ended up being convicted during the course of this bipartisan state and federal investigation. His wife had to leave the lawfirm shortly after and there is a high coorelation to the beginning of a Federal probe at the time. By the way, if you want to get paid from a criminal enterprise the best thing to do is be a lawyer for it and charge it large fees.
