lol, may I only half jokingly suggest money laundering via purchases and sales of artwork through a non profit?
Seems to be effectively legal, though a bit riskier in terms of bang for your buck these days.

- Them, still, because they are the ones who did the things.
This is like asking if I am still going to be blaming Japan for bombing Pearl Harbor, Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears.
- Well for example, Gen Z and Millenials have been, collectively, much more concerned about climate change and trying to have their voices heard, but the Boomers have also destroyed both the US Political System/Government and also Economy, and you... can't really socially act from a position of little to no social power.
Your framing of this question does two things:
It misses the point that climate change is a time sensitive issue with a window for being able to address it. That window is largely passed now, now we are in the stage of 'how do we mitigate/survive this' instead of 'how do we prevent this'.
And this is also victim blaming. Hey I burned down your house, why are you homeless, what are YOU doing to solve YOUR problem?
I'm sorry, people still have or use these things?
Who is this stupid or lazy?
'Boomers' as a term originated as, and is actually specific to American Baby Boomers.
The generation that lived through the most anomalous economic boom in US history, assumed that was actually normal, and consistently voted as a general block to ensure (among many other stupid things) that the climate would be destroyed for their grandchildren, children, and deliciously ironically, even themselves as they are now all set to retire....
... all when they had a disproportional amount of actual wealth, social power, thus ability to avert this, thus collective general responsibility for not doing so.
That is how any history books not written by Boomers will summarize this.
Boomer not want regulate oil company because then Boomer 401k go down.
Oh no!
Boomer vote for moron who make 401k go down anyway, Boomer house burn down / wash away in flood / hurricane.
Sad, indeterminate Boomer noises
Stalin would be proud, great work Krasnov!
Ok, so, fuck it, I'm Moodys now.
From now on I am downgrading the BLS Jobs Report Data Quality Rating from Baa- to Ca.
What a fucking joke.
Wish I could go with you.
Uh here, you're free.
Huh, apparently your uh, "cubicle", was right next to the bathrooms.
sigh
There's a way to fix this, but I really don't want to have to report to my SCP handler again...
Whatever, I'm sure its fine, you're free!
Yep.
I've been one.
Thats how I know what I am saying.
Like you're not even challenging what I'm saying really, you admit that most PMs are technically incompetent, because their job is mainly playing office politics.
It didn't used to be this way.
And it still doesn't have to be.
A good PM is someone who actually knows their relevant field, and can also do some office politics, but much more importantly, is a responsible and helpful team leader.
A person with only an MBA just has a degree in how to play office politics and gaslight people.
Then what you're looking for is roughly Squad.
Made by a team that originated as the mod developers behind Project Reality for BF2.
Currently though, it is going through a bit of an awkward phase as they are trying to transition from UE4 to UE5... but the UE4 version is still pretty solid.
Squad has less of an arcady gameplay style to it than BF proper, more milsim or milsim lite, the gameplay systems themselves reward and revolve more around being in a squad...
...fancier kit loadouts are limited for a whole team, takes multiple people to fully operate a tank or IFV, you actually have to be a pilot or crewman class to fly or drive something more conplex than basically a truck, lower TTK as weapon damages are more realistic, but also more fleshed out medical system...
... there are more gamemodes, many of which revolve much more around logistics and setting u0 and defending FOBs, you got AAS which roughly simulates a frontline by preventing the sort of willy nilly flag backcapping from BF games... flags are grouped together in sort of layers, and you can't capture any flag thats more than one layer away from the layer your team currently has...
Whole lotta gameplay tweaks, vehicles tend to respawn more slowly and players respawn more slowly, but anyway yeah, its a sort of hypothetical roughly modern era war setting, tons of factions.
Also I think there is a Starwars themed mod for it lol, there's ww2 mods for it, etc.
...
EDIT: As strongarm mentions, Hell Let Loose and the Arma series are also good choices, I am just biased because I was once part of the Project Reality team, way way back, hehehe.
