Re: More to this than meets the eye
I was wondering when someone would remember this.
I see one downvote by someone who does not know their history.

Re: OK, but how DID they sell millions?
Thanks.
It looks like the two biggest things are that it's fun, not ridiculously hard to play, and there is little to no griefing from strangers. Which makes it it more fun right there.
I will never understand the game philosophy of allowing strangers to screw your gameplay and gameplay control to be stupid hard.

This is far more prevelant than most people know
This happens every day. Top sales people are often screwed by their employers as they climb higher up the sales ladder.
We only hear about the higher profile cases, but I've heard so many stories from sales people AND seen it personally in companies I've worked for. Reward on merit does not exist in America.

UK Supreme Court declares Uber drivers are workers, not self-employed: Ride biz's legal battle ends in a crash
Monday 22nd February 2021 02:35 GMT
Exactly to all points.
We should pay close attention to the fact that Uber is using predatory pricing, regulation breaking and labor exploitation and STILL can't turn profit. That investors keep putting into this failure means there is a LOT more going on here than meets the eyes. In more sane times, this would bear all the resemblances to money laundering.
But that's just me speculating.

Half a nuke plant went down
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy/how-and-why-a-nuclear-reactor-shut-down-in-texas-cold-snap-when-energy-was-needed-most
One of two reactors shut down at the South Texas Nuclear Power Station an hour southwest of Houston, knocking out about half of its 2,700 megawatts of generating capacity.
The plant, which is one of the newer ones in the country, normally provides power to more than 2 million Texas homes.
“It’s very rare for weather issues to shut down a nuclear plant," said Brett Rampal, director of nuclear innovation at the Clean Air Task Force. "Some equipment in some nuclear plants in Texas has not been hardened for extreme cold weather because there was never a need for this.”
According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the shutdown of the nuclear reactor was caused by a disruption in a feedwater pump to the reactor, and that caused the plant to trip automatically and shut down early Monday.

The bigger the problem...
Trump left behind the largest disasters in every way in American history. One does not rush into burning buildings or catastrophes of any nature. That is a good way to make the problem worse and get hurt as well.
Haste is required, but looking before you leap is something even grade school children learn.
