"Helldivers 2": smart, fun propaganda/SCOTUS debates bump stocks/Wendy's surge pricing

The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments today on whether “bump stocks” should remain banned. This isn’t a 2nd Amendment debate: it’s really about the dysfuntional way we set national policy today. Wendy’s is pushing back on reports that it’s considering “dynamic pricing”, raising rates at peak times. I think they’re playing with semantics, consider how many of us rely on fast food. And the new hit video game “Helldivers 2” combines thrilling cooperative play with the blatant authoritarian propaganda of “Starship Troopers”. I’ll show you why anyone concerned with democracy should love this game.
