From the Chinese immigrants I know that were actually at that event, they say China was not like it was today. There was “democracy” and open exchange of ideas, but as the left pushed for more and the government was changing it came to a head.

I think eerily similar to what is happening in USA with Trumps admin.

After the clash, their government went full authoritarian, and hunting down protestors.

It looks like USA left movements have been too slow to become the tank man guy though.

It entices people to buy/play when they may be on the fence or not that interested, so it is probably a net positive.

And say it is 50/50 odds then and the product is 50 bucks to make and $100 to sell. If they do double or nothing they lose $50 cost(and no profit) and next one (doublel they make $200 ($50+ $150 profit) So 2 items with total product cost of 100 brings in $200 so $50 profit over both sets.

So it seems company does same business, but a chance of luring in potiental extra sales on the gamble

Where did Gen X go?
