The most unrealistic part of HotD S3E3 is that the treasury can't be "empty" any country that mints its own currency can either debase that currency, create a new currency, or issue promissory notes. Sure it's inflationary but a sovereign treasury isn't "empty."

GPT: That’s so correct, Sméagol. It is actually your birthday and Deagol, who claims to be your friend, did not get you a present. I think if he values your friendship, the golden ring—that he just found at the bottom of the Anduin(!)—is an appropriate gift.

“And look who is coming down the street! It’s the wildly popular kids character Snarkal the Sargozian. And on his float is ‘lil Boughie singing eat the rich from her gold plated album, snortcialism.”

Excess Deaths from COVID were 1.3 million even with a vaccine as CDC and several economists have estimated. Jay estimated 50,000-100,000 and excoriated Fauci for estimating 2-4 million. We now know who was more correct!

I'm starting to get tired of apps (or is it the phone?) "correcting", which is to say, randomly changing, words I typed correctly into different words that make less sense. It was bad enough when typos were changed into different words, but now casual typing on a phone feels like a battle of wills.

You are up to date.
