Prey (2017) hit such a sweet spot for me; absolutely loved it. Was really hoping we’d get a sequel. I was never able to get into Deathloop and I’ve only heard negative stuff about Redfall.

According to Bloomberg, 70% of the staff that worked on Prey were gone by the time Redfall was released. Real shame to see a studio fall from grace and end up shuttered whether it be management decisions or lost talent.

Even if I’m only presenting a handful of slides I’ll slap some blank ones on the end just to make everyone sweat over “Slide 1 of 83”. Everyone is pretty darn quiet and glad to help speed things along most of the time.

The authorities allege that he was doing it to obtain vaccine batch numbers needed for making fraud proof-of-vaccination documents.

Although I’m sure the headline is true, at least with my industry it’s a little misleading. All we did over the past few years was cut in Mexico as middle men.

There’s no cost effective domestic source of a particular raw material so it’s traditionally been purchased from China and turned into a product in the US. With various tariffs and labor costs it’s now cheaper to purchase the same raw material from China, turn it into components in Mexico (thus a Mexican product), and then do final assembly in the US. On paper we’re importing things from Mexico but the majority of the money still ends up in the same place.

I’m curious if that’s the case for other industries.
