XCOM Leaderboard is still Broken!

And rather than actually fix the XCOM: Enemy Within PC Ranked Leaderboard, Firaxis/2K simply put the guy who alerted everyone to this by ranking 1st place for the past year in the back of the line but leaving everyone else also exploiting the system intact.

So you see, it's not about the game being broken, it's about displacing anyone who publicly identifies this fact.


From January through December 2015, I had changed my account name to demonstrate the problems with how the leaderboard is calculated...

... but this week, my account was taken down to the bottom of the Leaderboard while the rest of the "cheaters" resulting from a broken system remain on top.

Tax-Evading Corporations should Feel the Bern

I recently came across an anti-Bernie Sanders Facebook post.  It was rather easy to transform into a pro-Sanders image - one that affirms that corporations, which rely heavily on US infrastructure, courts, patent protections, education and training programs for their workforce (to name a few), should not enjoy billions in corporate welfare at the expense of the American people.

There is no Walmart in Luxembourg



"According to a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness, Walmart is also sheltering $76 billion in assets in 78 subsidiaries located in 15 tax haven countries where Walmart doesn't even have stores. What's more, Walmart has effectively hidden all these subsidiaries by not listing them in the part of its Securities and Exchange Commission forms where they're supposed to be listed (the part where it says "subsidiaries"), instead burying any mention of them as deeply as it can. Walmart is getting out of major taxes through these maneuvers. Take Luxembourg. Walmart has $64 billion in assets stashed in 22 shell companies—five of which were established in 2015 alone. Those assets in Luxembourg generate big profits and teeny tiny taxes."  (source)
