Capitalism should be regulated of course.

IMO allowing as many people as you can to get wealthy and prosperous through capitalism is the most successful way to benefit the population and government alike.

This is a very difficult post to consume. I could respond in a number of ways, but I will just ask you some questions.

What is the effect of a person becoming wealthy and prosperous in a capitalist system? What is the process of accumulating that wealth and prosperity? Who suffers, if anyone, because of this growth and rise to prosperity?

Capitalism should be regulated of course. Business gangs are very dangerous after all. Just like any gang. There should be working standard regulations. Problem comes when labor and manufacturing is allowed to be allocated to countries with poorer standards, cheaper regulations, and cheaper currency, making your local workforce disadvantaged and thus out of work.

As I've always noted, a government is always way stronger than any individual business. A government can crush any rich person in a snap and destroy their business. IMO allowing as many people as you can to get wealthy and prosperous through capitalism is the most successful way to benefit the population and government alike. Governments that stranglehold business, over tax them and their populations, and then demand strict social handouts for an increasingly unable population including migrants who dont work. They are going to eventually fail and depend on the capitalist nations to bail them out. There seems to be this major misconception that taxing rich people more is going to make everything better for you as an individual, but in reality you arent going to see any of that as it goes into the largest gang in the state, the government...creating a massive government from over taxation that controls everything, everyone, and all business economy so no one can get rich is far worse than 100 organizations of super wealthy folks who have a representative government that isnt trying to dictate the economy, but regulating it for fairness of the 100 businesses to operate fairly and ethically.

Intel CPUs can suffer degraded performance in some games if left in park mode.

Boeing in general (well, McDonnell Douglas management).

Yeah, ain't it a damned shame how far they've fallen? Sickening. But all too common these days.

I wouldn't upgrade this CPU unless it's for something very specific because I upgraded from this to a 12700 and saw less then a 10 fps increase in most of the games I play. Just an FYI

i was looking at a i5-14600KF specifically for more cores. i do really appreciate the power a single core on this processor can put out, but i tend to run a dual monitor set up most of the time with multiple applications running at once. im going to upgrade the graphics card to something like an rx 7700 xt at the same time. and definitely going to need a bigger power supply. i have a b660m-a ac d4 motherboard for reference. ive done research, but im struggling to figure out whats the most optimal build for this mb. id also like to experience AH in VR at some point in time.

a lot of newer games coming out arent very well optimized, so my current build tends to suffer. at least the bottlenecking happens on the GPU and not the CPU, but still. id like to play with a better setting than medium.

but also, im not as savvy as id like to think i am when it comes to PC builds.

Dan,

for you that looks to be unscathed. It should rub right out. 

 

 

And a band-aid.

When considering Corporate integrity, I will start with the Ford Pinto and the DC-10. OF course, no criminal charges were filed. Care to add to the list?
