    I'm gonna take a wild guess that the games with high budgets that aren't "selling", are just not selling "enough" to cover the "costs" of the executives. I guess it wasn't much of a guess:

    and they're not selling nearly as well as expected," Sweeney said. "Whereas other games are going incredibly strong

    Do they think that these other games "going incredibly strong" are making the money they hope to make? They're probably making much less but managing it much better. The savings are almost infinite when you don't approve every executive bonus pay package.

    "They opened the door and ran from me" (pointing at the minor). So just opening the door is enough for them to force their foot in and suddenly, "I'm allowed in because you opened the door and my foot is inside already". Then they wonder why no one would want to open the door to them 🤦. Gotta teach the kids to talk through the door, I guess.

    I agree, that phrase seems to be a little misleading with the "trust in God" crowd because to them, that is the ultimate answer, and no other answer would come close to being "right". But "trust the science" is not meant to be the ultimate answer, just a sign pointing you in the right direction, so that you can then check the science to see if it's reliable. So, the science that you're trusting is not theirs, but yours.

    "There is not just one bad apple in this bunch," Powers said, adding that most companies who engage in price gouging receive limited consequences.

    Because customers generally still have choices to shop at other grocers like Walmart, Thompson said Kroger is unlikely to experience any severe consequences from the FTC.

    Despite the fact that this is likely a larger problem in the grocery sector, Ryan said consumers could react swiftly with their wallets.

    Yeah, and go to the next grocery store with the same prices and behind-the-scenes policies, and buy the same overprices eggs... But hey, at least they didn't admit to the lie.

    Not only that, but God would end their life by blowing them all up with magic bombs, if those pesky "good" people would just get out of the city; because we all know God doesn't like collateral damage.
