I agree. Guild Wars 2 probably comes the closest to the "no pay to win" ideal. Is it perfect? No. You can buy food, boosters and potions with real money to temporarily boost your stats, not high enough to become super powerful, but in some play modes, a tiny advantage is key. Most of these same boosters are available via crafting or in game currency, which balances out any pay to win advantages. You can also spend money to level up your character to max 80 if you don't want to put in the work yourself. The vast majority of items in the marketplace are cosmetic in nature.

New "blue" states like Minnesota and Michigan are doing a lot of good for their citizens and cementing their blue status for years to come, but old school blue states have this NIMBY mentality that prevents fixing problems, and it is ruining WA, OR, CA, MA, and NY, all of which have big housing shortages that CAN be easily fixed with new housing, but perennial zoning laws written 50 years ago to protect housing values are generating homeless situations. Red states have these NIMBY laws too.
