Why are people going to Indie film or South Korea and Japan for their tv and games and movies.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Are Hollywood Comedies Dead? He highlights the idea that with the always-online world we find ourselves in today, the shared experiences that used to exist within society that made comedies work no longer exist. That coupled with the fact that most production studios don't even want to bother making a comedy unless they think they can pull in a few hundred million when it comes out is why we just don't see that many comedies in the theaters anymore.

During the Obama-Biden admin, Russians were involved in some wars during this period, during Obama Putin also continued some smaller conflicts. For some reason a lot of countries were quite, terrorist groups less active and Empire was less expansionist under the years of Trump and yet Donald Trump was accused of isolationism.

Bc when you say "the world" would be screwed I think you mean to say "the world... except China". Bc in your scenario, CHINA would be doing quite well!

Quote: JSF: They never yearn for the opportunity to Immigrate to America, become Free with Liberty, or choose their own destiny, have the option to pursue their dreams. Because there are so many Democracies in the world, and so many Democratic Republics in the world - even though United States has provided a template to emulate.

Quote: However in a ways sometimes America offers 'Stablity' like a hardass Teacher in the Classroom, kids with grudges fight, there is violence and mayhem and any number of regional conflicts break out. The 'Pirates' might return and lobal trade goes up as the safety of commercial shipping can't be provided, a combo of Canada, Australia, Germany, France, EU etc stepping up as world police seems wishful thinking and for now they are too busy with Eastern Europe and the War in Ukraine.
