    I think comparing spying which should be a NO SHIT post WWII to the holocaust is a great example on how skewed current opinion really is

    since when is blue collar a problem?

    that is right since the 1980's when some wanna be hipppy farts decided we are a country of innovators, repersenting less than 1% of the population, how well has that worked.

    the industrial might of the united states was not gained by a bunch of middle managers with their cracker jack degrees bought from the local strip mall, but its downfall most definitely has been

    they removed GC support a couple years ago with that redesign

    anyway I see this working well in "poorer" countries, look how long SEGA sold game gears, master systems and genesis-es to places like Brazil, same with playstation ... but here it not uncommon to see a smaller cost reduced version, but wow, 3 versions of the same console, 2 versions of their handhelds AND a failing next gen console all at the same time.

    they just need to add a shitty adapter that makes the wii work with a tablet and take all new software to pull a sega (or atari) here
