I had a chance to play it at an event last year. Maybe things have improved in the interim, but I've never played a game with a more obtuse control scheme in my life.
I don't believe that it was explicitly stated that refunds had to happen, but the avoidance of that possibility was a motivation of the dissent.
In his dissent, Kavanaugh wrote that "the refund process is likely to be a mess", which operates under the assumption that refunds remain on the table now that Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.
I'm guessing it will come down to individual lawsuits by the affected parties against the Trump administration to make the specific case that refunds are needed and justified. If a few succeed, that sets the precedent for more. At that point, the government may decide to simply set up a refund program to reimburse folks and try to save some money by not challenging every claim in court.
I'm not too worried about additional tariffs passing through congress, though. That would have been the safer approach to try from the beginning if Trump's people thought they could make it work. They opted for this workaround loophole nonsense specifically to go around congress because they had already ruled out the possibility of congressional approval.
I just don't think Trump could ever manage to get enough support from congress. Certainly not with how unpopular the tariffs currently are, and certainly not right before the midterms.
To add, refunds are only going back to the businesses that directly paid the tariffs. But those businesses were already offsetting the costs of their goods to counterbalance them.
Outside of a few more consumers being priced out, a business playing their cards right may not have actually had too much of a hit to their bottom line under tariffs. But now, in addition to the profits they made by increasing prices to offset the tariffs, they're going to get refunded the cost of the tariffs anyways.
So the one left holding the bag ends up being the American consumer and taxpayer, who has struggled to afford basic goods throughout Trump's presidency, and will not see any returns from the tariffs either, as all of it comes right back out of tax revenue.
Not that the American public were likely to see any tax relief or benefit from the tariffs in the first place, mind.
Might still be worth checking your WiFi access point to see if there's anything weird going on. The Switches still connect to one another locally using the same WiFi chipset they'd use to connect to your router. Seems odd that one would struggle while the other works without issue in that case.
From the moment I came back to the Nexus one time and saw her just sitting on the steps kicking her legs in the air like a little dweeb, I knew I had to protect her.
At my age, they were already married with kids and had enough to build a dream house in a decent town. Both had stable jobs that were considered good despite neither having a college degree.
I'm in a decent job that pays me (on paper) more money than my parents used to make, but I had to get my master's degree to get here, and I'm still trying to pay off 8 years of student debt (though I'm getting closer each paycheck).
Between that, rent, and the sheer cost of everything these days, my partner and I are nowhere close to the point where we could afford a house, and we definitely could not afford to have even one kid, let alone three.
We're at least not living paycheck to paycheck, but there have been industry layoffs left and right that have me feeling like any day could be my turn. I'd love to have more of a safety net in that situation, but there's not all that much left over for us to put towards savings or retirement. Meanwhile, my parents are retired now, while I'm fully expecting to work until I die.
Edit: Forgot to clarify that this is the US, if the existence of student debt wasn't already a giveaway.
To continue the sandwich analogy, it's also, like...
You eat the sandwich made by your loved one, and not only is it everything you asked for, but they also threw in some good salami and a dash of balsamic vinegar that you never thought to even ask for in the first place, because they know your tastes and thought you'd like it. You now have a new favorite sandwich.
Versus the gas station sandwich, which is fine, but only just meets the bare minimum qualifications to be a sandwich. They used to load it up with cheap cuts of meat, which at least made it good value for the price, but lately they put in maybe a single slice of ham or two, a single sad piece of rubbery cheese, and condiments are all sold extra. And the price of the sandwich itself, smaller and cheaper than ever, has only gone up.
Bought them just to close them. They were doing well until they fell under Sony ownership.
They were put on a live service title, then Sony decided to cancel a bunch of said live service titles, and now they're just closing the studio entirely. They never had a chance to put out even one title under Sony's ownership.
That is entirely a management issue. Such a shame.
