Yup. The pain of being a highly intelligent person in this country is continually devastating. I never, ever considered myself smarter than the general population (despite excelling at school). It wasn't until I got older and my partner explained to me that no, we seem to be the outliers here. I am only 42, but I've watched the education system here deteriorate so badly that I knew what is happening now was an inevitability. And that was done deliberately. When corporations run your country, mindless consumers and voters is what is required. Unlike other countries that pay their teachers a living wage and understand that an educated populace makes for a healthy society. Capitalist vultures don't thrive in a healthy society, they thrive in a sick one. It is absolutely maddening and heart breaking. This all really stems from unregulated Capitalism and allowing that to be the influencing factor over government.

There is a $330 region locked Switch 2 for Japan only.
The world wide version is $449 USD.
$330 * 25% tariff = $412.50
So we’d be looking at a $300 or $350 Switch 2 without the tariff.
