Economy is about to take a nose dive if you haven't been reading the tea leaves. This is both pre-emptive for the coming downturn and a correction for the covid over hiring. Buckle up.
I'm curious what signals you're seeing? (I don't pay much attention to this so I haven't really heard anything)

Well... How are medical prices? Education prices? Food? Energy? Savings? Rent? Housing? What about the massive layoffs? Even if you're not struggling - many others objectively are dealing with the realities of a harsh economic downturn.
Food prices and related prices have been proven for awhile now to be mostly corporations massively increasing profit margins instead of inflation. Housing prices will continue to be an indefinite bubble due to boomer economics. Healthcare is a disaster in this country and will never be fixed because of Citizens United. None of this is due to the economic downturn.
Total nonsense. Businesses are closing.

"I'm not obese because I've been over eating. I've always over eaten" The printing isn't new and neither are the recessions. They're just making them worse.
Good metaphor. One does not get suddenly obese, it happens gradually and steadily and is well correlated with overeating. Your metaphor illustrates my point, not yours.
Is this my fault because of all the free games I claimed?

Hopefully they don't mess it up too badly. Bandcamp is the only way for a Linux user not in the US to get non-DRM music these days :(.
Are Junodownload, Boomkat, Bleep, Qobuz, etc. available in your country?

How's that? If someone says "why am I so overweight?" do you say that it can't be the eating because that hasn't changed?
If you've been eating the same for the last 20 years and you've been gradually gaining weight over the last 20 years, then it's your diet.
If you've been eating the same for the last 20 years and you suddenly gain weight, it's likely not your diet, it's something else -- exercise, illness, et cetera.

Again, how did you measure that? Because that sounds like the same kind of MBA crock.
How do you measure everything you are claiming?

Yes, this. I was going to reply with the same thing but thought it wasn't worth. There is a lot of hate towards Epic due to EGS, which I get - but Tim has never said anything about losing income due to other stores existing. Sure he's said a lot of bad things about Apple, but never about Valve. He's actually a really good guy, all the hate towards him really irks me - fine, hate the epic game store, I don't personall…
I used to play Rocket League on linux through steam. Epic killed that. They are very bad for linux gaming and I avoid anything Epic like the plague.
