It will be a huge hack fest if valve doesn't at least implement an overwatch system.

I keep getting a queue priority ban. It says its safe to leave and I hit leave and I'm banned. Happened twice. First time was to a game that never started, second was after the round was over. So lame.

There are plenty of ways that illegal immigrants take advantage of social programs, using false or duplicate social security cards and numbers, false or duplicate identities/birth certificates etc. Yes there are illegals collecting social security, welfare, food stamps etc.

You say they still pay taxes.... That is only partially true. They obviously have to pay sales taxes (in most states), but beyond that they do not generally pay Federal or State income tax because they are often times working under the table, being paid cash by their employer.

Lets do some real basic math here. Lets say that half of the 11 million people are employed. So that is 5.5 million people. Lets say they earn an average of 20K a year. Lets say their tax rate is 15% (which includes state tax, and cost of living deduction ~5K). 15% would be 3K owed to the IRS. So that is about 16.5 billion dollars in a single year in unpaid state and federal taxes by illegal immigrants.

I'm not implying that Mexico is taking wealth away from the US, I'm directly saying it. Do I personally feel like there is something wrong with another country making more profit? Not really, but generally that is why countries tax imports. When you import something into the country, you are not funding local labor and manufacturing, which the government in turn taxes and profits from. Which is why almost every country in the world imposes tariffs on most goods. Increasing tariffs could go into funding the building of the wall, which would also increase US jobs and manufacturing.

If a 1x1 foot ceramic tile costs 25 cents to make in Mexico, and 35 cents to make in the US, then increasing import taxes on that type of commodity would increase local production and consumption, and decrease imports shrinking the trade defect, and increasing income from corporate and personal taxes in the US, which would be one way to fund the wall.

Do you understand how international trade defects work? The latest available data from 2013 says that there was a $54 billion dollar defect in 2013 between the US and Mexico. Mexico winning out. That is just in a single year. The wall would more than likely take several years to build.

Basically the US is consuming more goods and services from Mexico than Mexico is consuming from the US. Which means Mexico is taking wealth from the US, and because they are taking wealth away from the US in the tune of ~50 billion a year, the federal government earns less tax revenue. If the trade defect was equalized, that alone would easily fund the wall. It's easier said than done, but there are things that can help such as tariffs, stabilizing currency exchange rates to minimize currency manipulation, increasing US-based manufacturing etc.

Well said. It happens with jobs also. I shit you not, my uncle was denied a job for a company because they needed more gay people to fill their quota. If he checked the little box on his application the job would have been his. But he felt that was an unethical thing to do.

You're kidding yourself if you think 8.5 or 17 billion dollars is a lot of money for the US government. They spend 100's of billions of dollars on black opps military projects each year alone. There are literally trillions of dollars that are unaccounted for in the last couple decades of spending.

Can you imagine the amount of money the US treasury is losing every year from the 11+ million undocumented immigrants that are not paying taxes, and some of them have started receiving food stamps or other social benefits. The wall is a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions spent each year.

Secondly, Trump has said that Mexico will pay for the wall. No he's not just going to hand them a bill for 10, 20, 30 or whatever billion dollars. There is a trade defect between the US and Mexico, and the money would be "raised" through new trade regulations/agreements/tariffs etc.

Good on them. Many Chinese are the hardest working people out there. They not only work hard, but are generally quite wise with how they spend their money. If you look into salary statistics, Chinese are at the top, above Caucasians. The liberals want to just keep giving hand outs to people in poverty, which only enables them to stay in poverty and live off the government. Hard work is paramount to success and achieving the American dream.

Just saw this on slickdeals it will probably go fast.

NeweggFlash has the 240GB SanDisk Plus Solid State Drive SSD for $49.99 SHIPPED.

This would be great for any gamer on a budget that wants to speed up their load times.

Lowest price I've seen with no rebates or coupons involved for a 240GB SSD. I have a 240GB SanDisk I got a couple years ago for $150 back when that was a heck of a deal. No complaints with my drive so far.

I'm encouraged to see that the Blizzard devs are listening to feedback about matchmaking. It is quite a complex system and there are a lot of bugs to be worked out I feel.

I've been quite frustrated playing against random 6 stacks lately. The other day I queue with one friend we are both level 40's. And we are matched with 4 level 120+ guys and 2 level 80 guys. They had their strategy down and knew how to play tank heros with bubbles and heals very well and rolled the game in < 2 minutes.

My other main frustration is having a bad class makup with other random players. Tank classes and support classes are played less and if you don't have at least one of each you are screwed.

And please blizzard nerf Genji, tracer, Winston, and Hanzo.

I got in today! Only played a little over an hour so far.

It is pathetic. I have a GTX 980, and the 3770K @ 4Ghz is still pretty darn strong, maybe only 10% behind other mid grade 5th or 6th gen i7 CPU's at stock clocks. I run an FPS config with most things set to low but my res is at 1080p.

One thing that some people don't realize is that your mouse movement is heavily tied to your FPS. Even though 80 FPS might still look visually quite smooth, if you have fluctuating mouse movement as your FPS changes, that can influence the smoothness of your aim pretty significantly. So if they re-engineered the way the mouse works in conjunction with FPS, then FPS swings wouldn't be a big problem.

Any FPS config? I have a 3770K @ 4Ghz, I'm fine in comp, sometimes in pubs tho I'll dip to 80 FPS or so. FPS hasn't been good since the new skins came out.

Sucks man, but maybe you have Panda Express and can go for some free Chicken Eggrolls
