I didnt say they couldnt make it. I said 20/hr isnt high paying. And your house how much of that is paying towards the principal loan and how much is going to interest?
I agree it isnât but it is high enough to have a decent lifestyle. All depends where you live. Wage to expense of living. Where I live 20 is pretty high. Minimum wage is still barely above 7. And the city i live in is 1 of the worst for wage to living expense
They donât browse the forums.
They look at threads that get reported by one of us.
I didnt say you couldnt have a decent lifestyle. I only argued that 20/hr all things considered isnât that much. With your situation how old are your kids they in regular school? Do you have to pay for child care? Cause if not on that second one then the cost are more reasonable
Name a nationâŚ
Because you didnât.
So what Iâm hearing is we can have fun debating here until some kill joy comes in and gets offended and reports the thread? Sounds good to me 
Technically, we could probably have threads about any topic as long as nobody reports them.
Well my oldest son is 19 and actually Iâm helping him while he is in school. Going for welding (laughed when I read welding being brought up earlier), I donât make him buy groceries or pay any bills, my other boy is 11 and in 6th grade. Me and his mom split time with him during the week.
We go to the movies every week and I mean every week, itâs our thing. Think last year I bought over 130 movie tickets, add in the food and I spend a small fortune lol so I do spend on things that I donât need to
All im saying is blaming blizzard for this is stupid.

I didnât read anything you wrote but imo an American company should not be aiding another country in silencing free speech.
Daycare can be easily 20k if not more depending on the place
Idk where u are taking ur kids but average day care is 10-11k lol
For 1 kid, dude mentioned 2.
Edit: I thought it said 3 confused 6th grade for 6 year old
Name a country. PS he mentioned 2.
Imagine actually reporting this thread.
That would make you a Chicomm
I mean blaming a company for being a company is ill informed and naive at best. The chinese market is the largest video game market in the world. Having china ban your products and ip wholesale across the board is bad for american people/workers also. That along with their stock which is traded globally.
You can argue that the punishment was way too severe. You can argue that blizzard should have more tact in this situation but here are the facts.
Broadcast was in china using chinese internet providers, involving chinese citizens. They do not have freedom of speech because it is a communist government. In order to do business in china it has to be sanctioned by the government. Therefore itâs basically a strongarm situation. If they do nothing they risk the literal future of blizzard activision entertainment by way of being banned in china, the largest video game market in the world. This is the best âworstâ situation they can be in. Just look at chinaâs response to the NBA. From a business perspective it was the right call. From an âamericanâ perspective its censorship and blizzard is probably ok with the backlash and unsubs because the alternative is voiding themselves as a company.
The real issue isnt blizzard. Itâs chinaâs business practices that need to be addressed. Boycotting an âamericanâ company for being dragged into a political statement is stupid.

Taiwan does not recognize itself as part of mainland ChinaâŚ
I think blizzard could have handled it way better without actually censoring the player. Also itâs the fact they try to hide it and say they donât want to be involved in politics when they are consistently involved in politics. Itâs the lies on top of the scum that made everyone upset. It would have been very easy for them to say âwe donât want players using our esports as a wya to voice political opinions.â Then taken down the vod. This most likely would have appeased china as long as it didnât happen again. Blizzard needs clear rules if they donât want things like this to happen. They definitely would not have banned someone if they went up there and said something about US politics.
Instead they decided to lie, ban a player, revoke his earnings, strip him of his title, and ban the two broadcasters involved, essentially ending 3 careers at once.
So the argument is that the punishment didnât fit the crime and that blizzard has no tact in geopolitical and economic warfare. He signed a contract to compete with company that has oversight and is sanctioned by the Chinese government. He said his peace on that platform/stream. He knew consequences were coming.
Blizzardâs actions while bad are irrelevant. The real problem is us thinking that this couldve ended in any other way. This is one of the reasonâs why ill never go to china or any chinese owned country.
