Maybe I’m getting too old? I don’t get it. I don’t get avocado toast either, so maybe I’m becoming out of touch with the real world?

Monopoly is supposed to be about the ultimate capitalism experience. I guess they feel millennials are not supposed to enjoy capitalism. Maybe they should have made monopoly for millennials into the ultimate Socialist experience for millennials. That way they can learn that they actually have no chance whatsoever of becoming successful under socialism instead of just thinking they have no chance under capitalism.

Quite the contrary, it’s the target of the game, I.e the “woke” millenials” outraged by the game, that are out of touch with the real world. I just needed a good laugh and the news pieces hit the spot.

Don’t worry, I got a good laugh out of it. But mostly because I thought the object of the game was really stupid. Your explanation makes more sense than what I was thinking.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Does she have any real world work experience?

She also thinks it's a bad idea for Amazon to have a HQ in NY.  She doesn't want them taking advantage of their tax breaks.

Guess no one told her, with the HQ there, they will also hire NY residents and pay some taxes.
