Why does it matter what he thinks? We have actual figures:
https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2023/07/06/murphys-law-foxconn-deal-is-still-costing-taxpayers/
"That brought the total costs for taxpayers and ratepayers to build the manufacturing campus to $683 million... with more costs likely to come.
"The debt taken on by the Mount Pleasant village government amounts to 500% of its operating revenue
"Foxconn hired hundreds of workers toward the end of 2019, claiming them on its report to the state for the 2019 year, and then quickly laying the employees off early in 2020.
"Microsoft plans to pay $50 million... to Foxconn, to reimburse it for money it spent to buy land. Meanwhile, local taxpayers will be on the hook to Microsoft, which will be eligible for up to $5 million per year based on improvements it makes to the land — this on a campus for which state and local taxpayers already spent hundreds of millions for road connections and sewer, water and electric infrastructure."

September sizzled to records and was so much warmer than average scientists call it 'mind-blowing'
"People cool off as they bate in the Mediterranean sea" is the best typo that could possibly have snuck in there.

I was kinda hoping it'd take Baldur's Gate 3 longer to ruin my life
I haven't been this excited to have a game ruin my life since I took 11/11/11 off of work. Unbelievable that that was A DOZEN years ago, jesus.

It's no contest
I'm fucking pumped for both of them. I've been playing BG3 for two years and am hype as fuck to FINALLY play the rest of the god damn game. And Starfield? God I hope Bethesda give me some Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout3/4 level goodness. Fallout 76 was something I'm glad I skipped.
