I've been there and if you had asked me yesterday what it was called there's a better than even chance I'd have called it Miracle Mile as well.
Magnificent Mile just sounds... well... it sounds like something Trump made up TBH. 😉
The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I'd have expected a covid extension on the PS4.
Seems likely given the overlap between generations.
PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???
So 11 years, 13, 11, 12...
PS5 is 5 years in. Don't expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.
Miracle Mile / Magnificent Mile... I'll give him a pass on that one.
I've actually BEEN there and couldn't remember the name either. Of course it was 30 years ago.
It's fascinating when you look at Congressional approval rates.
Almost universally, people disapprove of "Congress":

TBH, I'm equally guilty of this... Congress is a shit show.
MY Congresswoman? +1. No notes.
But she can only do so much on her own.
MSN is NOTORIOUS for linkjacking other sources, in this case, 2paragraphs.
Please adjust the link to point to the original source or we'll have to remove it.
When I was first made a mod 2 years ago I banned a troll for bad behavior.
Since then they have created HUNDREDS of Lemmy accounts specifically attacking me.
We had to come up with new rules and bots to deal with their fragile psyche.
Wow, someone else maths!
From another thread:
So far, there has been $200B collected in tariffs as of September. Some estimates are saying $300B by end of year.

The current estimated US population is 340 million.
https://www.census.gov/popclock/
Take off 10% for "the wealthy", that leaves 306,000,000.
I can't imagine Trump giving $2,000 to kids, so knock off anyone under 18, that's another 73 million off the list.
So round about 233,000,000 people getting $2,000 checks?
$466 billion. Oops. Hey Donnie, you're short somewhere between $166 and $266 billion.
So how much COULD people get?
$200B / 233M = $858.37
$300B / 233M = $1,287.55
Not awful, until you realize that's how much these taxes soaked you for in the first place. 😉
I dropped Tmobile when I was on a business trip and they sent me an update that bricked my phone and refused responsibility.
With no support for anyone + street lined with redhats yelling at you. But only redhats.
You might have heard that with the government shut down, SNAP benefits for November (you might know them as "food stamps" though that's not technically accurate anymore) are at risk:

Well, a local coffee shop here is stepping up:
Check your local community, people are pulling together!
The coffee shop estimates a breakfast burrito and coffee is $15 so I'm kicking in 10 meals worth, I challenge other folks to do something similar.
People are getting too hung up on the name and not hung up enough on Trump advocating to use the military to protect commercial properties, in other words literal Fascism.
I'm not faulting him for Miracle over Magnificent, because that's not the real problem. 😉
