This is what happens when people mistake a board game for an economics education.
Monopoly has a fixed amount of wealth, no innovation, no investment, no productivity growth, and no new businesses. Capitalism has spent centuries doing precisely what Monopoly cannot, creating wealth that didn't previously exist.
The richest people in 1900 couldn't buy an antibiotic, a smartphone, or a commercial flight. Today, ordinary people have access to things kings couldn't have imagined.
Monopoly is a game about acquiring existing assets. Capitalism is an economic system that allows people to create entirely new ones.
If your understanding of economics comes from passing Go and collecting $200, perhaps sit this one out.
Hi @X I am locked out of DMs after changing phones. I don’t remember the password. Is there any way apart from resetting chats (don’t want to lose my history)

Taking @SamsungIndia 1m+ to replace a TV within warranty vs a 10-12 day TAT promised. Being given the runaround by the service center - endless follow ups, no response and now a take it or leave it offer timeline. No backup TV provided and no calls. Takes 3 tries to reach anyone.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'

Played 38. Won 26. Drawn 12. Lost 0.
Never to be repeated.
Happy Invincibles Day to those who celebrate!
That Qasim Umar dismissal, along with the one that got Robbie Kerr, are contenders for “ball of the century”. Certainly by an Indian bowler. Kapil Dev’s swing bowling was spectacular.
In the final of the World Championship of Cricket 1985, Kapil Dev delivered a superb opening spell: 7–1–17–3.
He was on a hat-trick after dismissing Mudassar Nazar and Qasim Umar off consecutive balls.
Look out for that inswinging yorker, probably the ball of the tournament.

But jokes aside, man, huge credit to Arsenal.
The PSG I watched today? Every single time they went forward, it looked like they were about to score. I nearly pissed in my pants.
Arsenal man, take your flowers. Holding this PSG to just a penalty is impressive. FairPlay
Joke told to us during one of our early lectures at @presiuniv Presidency. I think it was Prof Amitava Chatterjee…
An economist, a chemist, and an engineer are on a deserted island... What could go wrong? Ronald Reagan explains.

Arsenal legends reunited at Robert Pires’ tribute match tonight in Metz, France.
Tears in my eyes. Proper Arsenal. 🥹
Ordered beans from @thirdwaveindia via @Swiggy only to discover they were roasted in July! Apparently their beans stay fresh for one year. Hilarious. How can you be running a coffee chain and be so clueless about how good espresso is brewed.

Unable to manage scale, @BlueTokaiCoffee? Beans delivery has gone from 2d to 1w. The mediocre call center can’t answer simple questions. I’ve complained earlier but it’s now it’s time to shift to a new chain after being a consistent customer for 5+ yrs
