WTF?  Unfairly?  Bias?  What the hell are you talking about?

well, unless i've misunderstood your argument, your complaint toward the film is that you did not like an aspect of the story. so, if you told others the movie sucked because you may have disliked that certain part, it would be unfair given your bias

No it wouldn't.  Bias is absolutely critical to matters of opinion.  Trying to eliminate bias is silly.

Note that when I make this post that I am biased against overthinking things, and also biased against movies that pointlessly and needlessly slaughter the beloved characters of the previous film in the series.

And, in real life, as in the game, see how wages haven't increased.  Same $200.

What a rare good article in WSJ.  It's a shame there is no good Monopoly online game.

The Game of Life is a much more accurate portrayal of the modern economy anyway.  Put your cash on the Market strip, spin the spinner, watch your retirement disappear gambling on Wall Street.

Monopoly is still outperforming reality by assuming every player gets paid.

Terrible advice.  Railroads are crap.  Utilities are crap.  You win Monopoly by lucking into a monopoly or taking advantage of weaker players to buy missing parts of a monopoly.

Start a Languish Monopoly game.

You win Monopoly by playing the hat.
