A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally “own” video games.

Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games.

The proposal would give players three basic rights:

>The right to own the games they purchase, rather than simply receiving a revocable license
>The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode
>The right to transfer or resell games they own

Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didn’t really buy the game in the first place.

Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy:

“If you pay for it, you own it.”

@_SadeceBora Turn off internet and it disappears………. Duh!!!!

@BalaiBB just use @Tangem

[Tangem @Tangem]

Your SEED phrase is a single point of failure.

Lost, damaged, stolen: new cases make headlines almost every day, and they all end the same way. Your assets disappear.

Here's why it's time to stop using SEED phrases 👇

@NewsAsset @Tangem No losses here. Just saying my amount is trickled.

[Michael Stapleton @msstapleton]

@NewsAsset @Tangem About a half a million dollars worth of equipment and the physical cards in hand. Way too much to even think about or worry about. Tangem is very good. Seedless is even better. I got seedless and just pennies compared to all these other losses.

[Michael Stapleton @msstapleton]

Seedless no worries……

The simpler the device, the harder it is to embed something extra in it.

[Tangem @Tangem]

No seed phrase. No pain.

McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion dollars to find out why families stopped coming.

I can save them the 8.5 billion.

They took out the playground.

The plan, announced Wednesday at investor day. Better food, faster service, new equipment, AI tools, hospitality training, and a bigger push into chicken and beverages. They call it Next. The goal, they say, is making customers feel more comfortable.

Wall Street loved it so much the stock fell 5 percent to its lowest since 2022.

Over five years McDonald's shares are down 3 percent. Burger King's parent is up 14. The owner of Taco Bell and KFC is up 13.

This is not a hamburger problem. This is a McDonald's problem.

So let us talk about who used to eat there.

Parents. That was the whole business. Parents at 5:40 on a Tuesday with three kids in the back and nothing thawed at home.

You did not go for the burger. You went because your kids could run screaming through a plastic tube for 40 minutes while you sat with a coffee and experienced silence.

That was the product. The food was the cover charge.

The first PlayPlace opened in 1971 in Birmingham, Alabama, and for fifty years it did one job. It made small children demand to go to McDonald's.

Then 2020 arrived, every play area in the country closed, and a great many never came back. The equipment came out during a remodeling program named Experience of the Future.

The Experience of the Future turned out to be a touchscreen.

Their own chief executive said he did not know if ball pits were in their future.

Sir, you were not selling ball pits. You were selling forty minutes.

So now there is no counter, no playground, and no reason for a seven year old to want to go. A screen, a window, and a bag.

And for that we pay prices that require a moment of reflection in the parking lot.

For thin, overcooked, oddly uniform pucks that taste like a memory of beef.

I did not love them because they were good. I loved them because I was eight and there was a slide.

And have you seen the new buildings.

The old ones were unmistakable. Red roof, yellow arches, legible from a highway at 70 to a child who could not yet read.

The new ones are a flat gray box with a small logo and a drive through wrapped around it. A regional claims office with a fryer.

They removed the color, the characters, the counter, and the playground, and then hired consultants to find out why it no longer feels like anywhere.

Which is why, when I have to eat fast food, I go to Chick-fil-A.

Not for the politics. For the competence.

They have led the customer satisfaction index for fast food eleven years running, and average 8.5 million dollars per location against McDonald's 4 million.

More than double, while closed on Sundays. Fifty two days a year with the lights off, and still double.

A seventeen year old hands you a bag and says my pleasure and means it about 70 percent, which is 70 percent more than a touchscreen has managed.

McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion on hospitality training.

Chick-fil-A earns 8.5 million per restaurant by just having some.

So here is my consulting proposal, free of charge, on behalf of mothers everywhere.

Put the playgrounds back.

Not a nostalgia campaign. Not a retro cup. The structure. Tubes, slides, a door the kids cannot open from the inside, and a bench where a tired woman can sit.

And understand what you are buying, because it is not lunch.

A six year old does not know your food is bad. He has no basis for comparison and no functioning palate. He thinks the burger is incredible because he is standing in a castle made of tubes.

That is the window. That is the only window you get.

You catch them before the taste buds arrive, and thirty years later they drive past your sign, feel something they cannot explain, and pull in anyway.

That is not a menu strategy. That is imprinting, and you shut it down in 2020 to save on cleaning.

Eight and a half billion dollars for AI tools and hospitality training.

Or a slide.

@GarbageHuman24 No offense but that is a new level of stupid….. just sit back and let your mind go. Think of the good and bad of this. Think year away like 2036, 2046…. And then look back and see if it was worth it…..???

TILLAMOOK DAIRY IS UNDER ATTACK FOR ADVERTISING THEIR CHEESE CAN BE EATEN BY MUSLIMS.

They have made the decision of adding HALAL on their packaging. I’m sure it was with hope it would increase demand for their products.

What they didn’t expect was the backlash of public outcry over their products being pushed to be eaten by radical Muslims that are here to take over our country.

Tillamook is now being seen as traitorous to our country by promoting Muslim affiliation.

Perhaps had they made a different decision by adding that it was BOTH KOSHER and HALAL, the public would have acted differently.

People are talking about boycotting their company.

We already know what happened to Budweiser, Target and Nike. They have lost a tremendous amount of stock value and sales have plummeted. Nike has just been knocked out of the NASDAX 100.

AMERICA DOES NOT ACCEPT THE CONTINUED WOKE PUSH OF THE LEFT IN OUR COUNTRY.

The saying now is IF YOU GO WOKE, YOU GO BROKE.

Tillamook should revisit their advertising position. They may very well loose more customers by associating with Muslims, than what customers they gain.

Today every company should know that America will not accept the WOKE ideology of the left. Every company should take serious steps not to isolate Americans by attempting to attract a radical group of people as customers.

Choose wisely Tillamook. You’re still a small company and you have a lot to lose by angering your base of customers.

GO WOKE, GO BROKE!
