Gacha is a type of loot box.

You aren’t purchasing a specific item when you spend money. If there’s any sort of chance involved with that purchase it’s a loot box.

It’s simpler than that.

The two options on the ballot were telling citizens two basically opposite stories.

1. “It’s not that bad, solutions are hard and complex”. With wages stagnating for decades and costs continuously going up, and nearly half the population living effectively paycheck to paycheck. Factually correct in context, but a hard pill to swallow.
2. “It’s bad and we will fix it”. No actual plan, probably not even the intention of a real plan to fix anything, but acknowledging what the average person felt instead of seemingly brushing it off.

Once we get through those simple messages, then we get to the fact that the media since the Cold War has completely fucked actual education of what socialism, fascism, and every other ism other than Capitalism is. It is no wonder a ton of people either decided to not vote or at least vote for the side acknowledging there are issues that need fixing.

To be fair… that State is on fire pretty regularly, the President has nothing to do with that, the shitty utilities not maintaining infrastructure properly are usually to blame.
