Probably a good thing considering MtG's fluff has been shit for years. They want that Marvel money and have been doing "theme parks with hats" settings now for over a decade.
This was the case in my town when In-n'-Out burger opened up. The line there is still huge years later now after it opened. We tried it to see what the big deal was and it was...slightly better than Burger King? Yet it costs the same as a local burger joint who have way better food. I do not understand American taste buds.
US is the first and only country to ever use an atomic bomb. And not just one bomb: two. So of course we wouldn't launch a preemptive strike, right?
If there are only two digits after a decimal and less than four digits before, you could probably figure out if someone was doing budgeting using their computer. Like if the user imput is:
99.99 + 27.63 + 127.48 + 4.99 + 2.99 + 10 + 283.57
.....that looks a lot like someone calculating monthly bills and expenses.
During the Cold War, the CIA funded numerous artists that did abstract work. This was to push back against Soviet Realism and hype up American artists. Jackson Pollock was specifically in this category, as he was an alcoholic nobody until the CIA started funding him. These artists varied in quality. Pollock was considered a hack by his contemporaries, but the money came pouring in.
There's no doubt the CIA laundered money through art the way they did cocaine and gun trafficking. As far as today is concerned, however, this type of money laundering doesn't happen anymore. Problems are mostly around IP and NDAs casting a shadow. Damien Hirst, for example, didn't actually do all of his pouring paintings. Unnamed interns did them but can't put their own credentials out there or even mention they worked for Hirst.
Obviously, this stuff is still sketchy. But if it were as easy as painting a line and getting a billionaire to buy it, everyone would be doing it lmao
Yah the reason Europeans have stuff like free education and healthcare is because the US does all their dirty work. Iraq is a perfect example. The US took very little oil for itself, continuing to rely on South American and domestic fossil fuels. But Iraq wasn't keeping its oil for itself, it was all being siphoned off to Britain, France, Norway, Germany, etc.
