how useful is an extra forty dollars per turn of the board this is the game where the winning strategy is to just bankrupt yourself as quickly as possible buying hotels through loans right

It's actually more advantageous to pack your properties with as many houses as you can but not upgrade to hotels. Eventually there won't be any more houses in the set, and you've basically locked out your opponents.

Tweet kinda buries some important information there:

The Article posted:

Tenant organizer Michael McKee of TenantsPAC said that he wasn't surprised at Dickens' decision to oppose the rent laws because he considers her an anti-tenant lawmaker.

"She votes for [bills] usually because she has to because of her district, but she makes no secret of her sympathies, and she's not sympathetic to tenant protection laws, and she never will be," McKee said.

The tenant organizer tied Dickens' opposition to the rent laws to her own business interests as a landlord in Harlem. Dickens has been criticized by political opponents in the past for keeping her real estate holdings, which were managed by her sister, in poor condition. In 2014, tenants at one of her Harlem buildings launched a rent strike, the Daily News reported at the time.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Would you say her tenants live in Dickensian conditions?

I think this is a non-trash example of woke branding but it's still woke branding so in it goes:

quote:


Hijabi Ballers inspire Raptors to sell branded sports hijab, the first of its kind in NBA

When Shireen Ahmed saw the sleek, silver Raptors’ logo on a hijab for the first time, she got chills.

After learning of the release of the Toronto Raptors’ Nike Pro Hijab — announced Friday morning through a video on the team’s Twitter account — “the 12-year-old Shireen in me screamed with joy,” said Ahmed, a 42-year-old sportswriter, podcaster and longtime athlete.

The Raptors-branded sports hijab, the first of its kind in the NBA, has been in the works since the playoffs this past spring, said Jerry Ferguson, senior director of marketing at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

...

Hijabi Ballers helped to design the black hijab — which will be priced at $39.99 at Scotiabank Arena — and the group was featured front and centre in Friday’s launch video.

Believe in the good... of woke branding.

It is definitely woke branding, Raptors know their Canadian fans aren't idiot chuds like Americans while any backlash from conservative American raptors fans will more likely be outweighed by the good PR for being woke and selling an official hijab.
I mean it's not a bad thing but if you care about having an accurate world view you should recognize it as commodification and cynical profit seeking from wokeness, which is what I assume this thread is for

As a fun aside I saw a lot of right wing comments saying they'd identify as a woman for the game and then switch back after because the right only has one joke.

its hard to make fun of just because its such a lazy idea most people probably wouldnt even notice that its a rule since otherwise the game just seems to play the same as regular monopoly

they might be hesitant to change the rule set for these novelty games now since socialism monopoly managed to both be completely unplayable and also not have anything to do with socialism

Regular Monopoly is playable it's just not fun. Socialism Monopoly was a fair departure from the original but it's hard to tell if it was intended as a gag game, i.e. is it being unplayable part of the joke or did they just blunder into that?
