It’s about the market I’m afraid - someone with the attributes necessary to be an effective politician is likely to be able to use those skills to get a top management job in a big company and earn > 200k easily. If the gap between that and the politicians salary is too great then the only people who become politicians will have other strong other motives, which may be noble, but are often narcissistic or corrupt.

WH40K Rogue Trader. It’s pretty good if you like that kind of thing. ‘Campaign’ bit of the campaign is significantly better that WOTR in my opinion

He doesn’t know he can’t, so he can

So not having read the article if the foundations total value is $1000 billion and they donated $90 billion that’s 9% so more than 5%. And over twenty years they’ll donate rather more than if they just had a fire sale and gave all the money once to charity? Sounds ok to me.

Bang on, the Pacific is not 250 miles deep…

And that’s why I subscribe to Private Eye even though I rarely have the energy to read it

Unless your playing unlimited a run ends around round 18 iirc. Takes about 30 minutes

That would be cool - especially if you could jump without a pack.. you’d only make that mistake once and it would definitely increase the immersion!

Exactly - missions that take advantages of it. Imagine, bounty target isn’t an idiot so has set up AA to stop you landing 300m from their front door, or defensive pickets that make it really hard to get there. Solution - jump from 1000m as your shop flies by - no retreat, complete the mission or die trying.

Or infiltrate a base at the bottom of a canyon - walk down the long path or hurl yourself off the top and land on the roof, trading shots as you go.

The game could do that - just didn’t
