FFX will always be my favorite, I still think it’s the best story of the franchise. Other ones I like are Golden Sun, FFIV, Super Mario RPG, Crono Trigger was good too (just played that for the first time). Lufia I and II are worth mentioning while I never beat them start to finish I was often at a friends house who had them and watched a good deal of it. I’m gonna try to play those soon, I recall liking the story but I can’t remember too much of it anymore.

that would be much more practical and useful

Ah yes SI, for Sports Illustrated

Sit back and hope a financial crisis will break it. I’m not sure what it will take for the national debt to become a focus vs a background problem. I can non-comply on a personal level, but maybe easier said than done. I feel like most people are not happy so that gives me some hope.

I think its a liability thing, people get hooked on painkillers, they don’t want to be held responsible for prescribing it. Not sure how regulated certain drugs are, but probably a mix. Not sure why they would hold for certain ops they deem not bad enough. No great answer for this one, could be the system just sucks or there is no really great fix for it.
