Expos were doomed thanks to the strike, the butterflies were not big enough to saved it...mandatory 'vulgarity here' Loria as much you can, but the post strike fire sale and Loria godawful management killed the team in quebec.Why?

The blued out info is about the Great Recession. I take it the Great Recession is going to be more damaging. Might a car company such as GM or Chrysler go defunct, along with say Best Buy instead of Circuit City and other major retailers (early death of Sears/Kmart, Macy's, Radio Shack, etc) that survived to today?
At least Kanye won't be mad at the president. Right?
Why?
Speaking of retailers, has the game stop/eb games merger happened yet? My local game stop opened up in August and started off as an eb games.
Hope Adrienne Shelly's death is avoided ITTL...
Well. Harvey and Ophelia.
In ITTL and if i have been known to TCs since then (and older), i would likely not campaign Harvey, Franklin's and probably also Emily's retirement but i would likely campaign Ophelia, and Gert for one. While campaigning storms for retirement i might gone highly bigotric and imaginative for that and might gone psuedoscientific, very sadly.
That was my bad facts if i am going into meteorology though, and i felt bad from it. I should go away from it, not closer to it but.... still i wanted to be closer into it. Ugh, what happened i am is?!
Okay. That's was my comment about the update "Dangerous 2005 Hurricane Season". I don't have any other opinions for whole TL, only this update that got this comment.
I've been thinking about this for a while now. I was kind of hoping the Great Recession just wouldn't happen. I'm no economist, but perhaps the seeds that sowed it were lost to the wind, ya know?
Man, I hope Chrysler turns out ok...
I hope it won't get worse as Second 1929..The Great Recession was caused the deregulation of the 1980's and 90's such as the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999. Only way to prevent it would be to have a non New Democrat in the White House, something the POD of the timeline could not prevent, so it will happen. Gore's presidency may delay it a few months or a year, but it will still happen by 2010.
What the hell happened?On the subject of gaming, Neogaf died.
Man, things have gotten ugly.
That is sad indeed. The creator is a bad person and what he did Is degusting but its still sad to lose such a huge site.On the subject of gaming, Neogaf died.

Actually, how is Neogaf doing ITL, if it exits at all?
Have there been any updates on the wrestling front since the Invasion storyline?
Eddie Guerrero's death is around this time.
and the pod was set in the 1990s, how things change so fast.Man, it kinda goes without saying, but the pop culture (and politics) of the 2010s will be nearly unrecognizable from OTL's, probably. I only recognize two songs on that list ("Gold Digger" and "Feel Good Inc."), but man, this changes nothing on how much I am enjoying this TL so far.
Aside from this, I have been meaning to ask about how butterflies affected the development of Windows operating systems. Do we still get XP in TTL? Any other notable changes up to 2005?

Will the Window XP sound effects still become a meme ITTL?"Pon de Replay" is also a real song too, but it was held back from #1 because it just couldn't get past Mariah Carey's huge #1 song that year. ITTL, Mariah Carey's next CD has been delayed to either 2006 or 2007, and this allows Rihanna to take that #1 spot. In the same way that Indira Villa (an original TTL artist of African-American and Latin descent whose music blends the R+B/Latin genres) and the Destiny's Child/Julita Venegas collaboration is sort of the tail end of the Latin boom blending into the current R+B centric boom, Rihanna's slightly earlier rise to #1 is the R+B boom blending into the "late 00s teen pop star" era we'll get later on with Taylor Swift (voicing Toph is not going to stop her from being a spectacularly huge pop star) and others.
So far, Windows is pretty much the same as IOTL, the slightly increased success of the Xbox and the X-Zone push haven't really affected the computer side of Microsoft's business ventures. So Windows XP is still the current big thing. We MIGHT see some changes coming with TTL's Vista (or Vista equivalent).
