“Our property seems to me the most beautiful in the world. It is so close to Babylon that we enjoy
all the advantages of the city, and yet when we come home we are away from the noise and dust.”

Written in cuneiform on a clay tablet, this letter to the King of Persia in 539 B.C.
represents the first extant expression of the suburban ideal. (K.T. Jackson 1985)

Someone on the Internet, on Stratego:
"Don't know if it was in the rules or just the way we played it as 12-year olds. Conflict resolution was show your piece, except
for the bomb, when you just yelled out loud "Bang!" usually making your opponent jump even when they were waiting for it."

I am happy that he is satisfied with his decision, but each and every point of his is debatable both as to its accuracy and as to its benefit.

Things take a while to get up here... At a time when fidget spinners in the lower 48 had been collecting dust
for months, they were the hottest new trend in town. The cashier told me they can barely keep them in stock:



The photo is from February 2020. The "Guilds of Ravnica" card set was released in October of 2018. I don't
suppose Barrow has much of a Magic scene... Then again, they must have had some reason to stock it.

Hobby games are popular in the UAE? Slightly interesting.
You'd be surprised. We sold them a lot of (computer) gaming equipment.

You almost certainly don't want this. It's more a video-game-style RPG made
of cardboard than a board game. This is mostly an excuse to post this image:


I just found out you can get this from Bed Bath & Beyond, of all places.

According to a podcast I recently listened to, Fiorella LaGuardia fought against efforts
to outlaw marijuana. He was vehemently opposed, however, to... pinball machines.

Small business owners sell out because running a small business is extremely difficult. (They sell out
for other reasons, but it's essentially the reason that the BGA owners give, so let's go with that.)

Part of the reason for this is that they inhabit a regulatory environment that is stacked in favor of
concentrations of capital, e.g. small and large businesses alike are obliged to provide their employees
with health insurance, which is vastly more expensive per employee for small companies than it is for large.

Large-scale enterprises growing through acquisition was not always the norm. Small businesses had a much
easier time operating profitably in the 1960s than they do today, and their owners were less eager to sell out.

At any rate, growth through acquisition is a perfect example of obtaining more wealth without creating wealth.
For instance, buying a company for its intellectual property and then shutting its operations down basically destroys
the livelihoods of the workers whose jobs have been eliminated in the name of efficiency. The large company's
increase in wealth comes directly at the expense of those people, resulting in a negative creation of wealth.

All of this is made possible by policies that treat the destructive effects of capital accumulation as an irrelevant
externality. The myth (e.g. Schumpeterian "creative destruction") is that this leads to innovation, which benefits
society as a whole. The reality is that we're socializing all the risk and privatizing all the rewards.
