Those aren't available everywhere and require you to show your ID in a lot of places. They're not a direct replacement of steam gift cards, even though, as you said, they may work in some places.

Pre-paid debit cards aren't a solution for many people. Not only they depend on your bank or a third party service that may even charge for them, but they're more traceable than buying stuff on a store. Some people don't even have a bank account, like kids, who now will need to ask their parents to pay for every game individually (or have unrestricted access to their parents card)

Which was bs excuse cuz digital gift cards still exist. Clearly, manufacturing the card and letting the store make a small profit when selling it was too expensive. But yeah, steam gift cards are no longer manufactured and missing from any store near me.

The prohibition is not for *your* health, it's because *everyone else* also has to breathe your smoke.

Smoke in private, not in public places, and especially not in public places where children play.

Spain used to have a budget of around 1% of their GDP for the military. It was so much that they actually could not spend it. Now that the budget has tripled almost overnight, they are having an internal crisis because there is no way they can use up all that money, even if they overbought 200% of supplies and overpaid for them.

Increasing military budget is useless, because the service will not improve with it, just the useless spending and inefficiency. And because of the rushed spending, I'm sure the move will increase corruption.

He isn't even being better than anyone, all he does is publicity stunts while not fixing anything. Everything he has donated was for tax writeoffs.
