And?
The important question is: do you believe the election process was transparent and trustworthy enough to entrust the future of your entire nation?

Because the ammount of weird shit was just far beyond my limit. And that is something that has to be solved.

Yes, I know of the bad science problems, but I still think, that the point stands, that if your point i to void droughts, best way would be to try boosting the cycle instead of hoarding the water.

I talked about this with my sister.
And she told me something I didn't think of. Every kid is thought the water cycle. Water evaporates from the sea, it condensates, falls down, and flows to the sea.

This water does not disappear at any stage. So, why the droughts? Because we are keeping the water captured in artificial tanks, where it can no longer flow and continue the cycle.

Also, global warming might help a lot here, since the more of the ice caps melt, the more water will be available to cycle, and with higher temperatures, it will evaporate from the seas faster.

I did give the game a chance.
But a 70€ game that isn't working when released is not something that deserved my money.

@cjd
Fuck, that is a new idea.
I never made this particular connection :ablobcatsweatsip:

But even if you can manufacture cheaper products, you still need someone to do it without demanding too much salary. But to keep salaries low, you need unemployment.

The best way to increase unemployment and lower average prices is to attack small businesses. Small businesses will typically offer premium products which command higher prices from discerning customers - but this drives inflation. So the clever bureaucrat will regulate them out of existence and replace them with big box stores selling bottom price slop.

Remember that people will also work practically for free, if they're in prison.

You can now probably see how so much investment money becomes available for cost-saving food ideas from "plant based burgers" to "bug protean". Anything which can make consumer items cheaper can make more money printing acceptable.

And you can now hopefully see how fiat money can destroy an entire nation.

I believe, that there are at least 2 partial "solutons", that can be done, that will ease the suffering, while not needing a collapse.

1) You can ensure each community is d
food, water and electricity self sufficient. This should have been done a long time ago, even if only for purpose of war economy, but the changes needed are not even drastic.

2) Mandate creation of community centers big enough, to allow free meetings of all age groups. While the base form does exist for kids in school, after that, there is 0 need for people in a community to ever meet for a drink of tea. And while I am not sure what form such a center should have, consumerism based pubs and shopping centers do fail at this role miserably.

Where did we go wrong that the 1971 JVC Video Capsule would never be made today.
