That is happening, maybe slower than any of us want ( and honestly probably time a bit to help in the election), but the rescheduling process had begun.
Man, I really want to love Millenia. It feels like it has so many great ideas mechanically (from the ages mechanic to how resources work domestically and internationally), it just seems really rough at the moment. The pacing feels off and the flavor comes off just bland (none of the civs seem to have much character).
Looks like he's still fighting the sentence and his friends set up a gofund me to help pay his legal fees. Should anyone be interested in showing him some support outside of the commissary.
I actually have run into him on the street a couple times - he still wears the question mark suit (even when just like going to the grocery store) and his car is even covered with them. He is committed.
Highly recommend the essay that quote is from: "Anti-Semite and Jew". It's written from that post-liberation of Paris/ending of ww2 perspective, but a lot of the insights on the nature of that kind of societal hate still hold up pretty well.
Heard he killed Hitler though
We're supposedly in a representative democracy but the representatives have an approval rating of 13%. Tell me how that makes sense.
Not trying to justify things as they stand, but an impprtant caveat is that's for Congress as a whole. Ask people how they feel about their rep and you get much different numbers. Basically, everyone else is the problem.
While true, it's also true many states were close individually and, because of how our elections work, the election could have gone differently if about 43,000 votes in strategic places went the other way. I'd call that close.
Deflation can be even more destructive than inflation. It would basically make all kinds of debt more expensive, to which real estate is particularly sensitive. There's a chance that could force over leveraged property owners to sell, but with more expensove debt, there will be fewer buyers and it would tend to be those who can take on the higher risk (aka the already wealthy).
All that is to say, I don't have a solution either (especiallly if high taxes on non-dwelling properties doesn't seem to be making an impact), but deflation is almost never good...
It'll be interesting to see if they do. Larian themselves have said they have no plans at the moment, in no small part due to how in 5e at lvl 12+ powers get hard to balance/model in a computer game. But given the success at launch, they're probably going to feel a lot of pressure to make one. I'm curious how they'll get around it. My guess is they'll either have to more strongly deviate from 5e or it's a side plot with new characters.
Exciting to see! I loved the original, but never played the remake on PSP so looking forward to this!

If done instead of reducing current emissions, 100%. That said, there is a real need to invest in carbon capture technology now so that it can be more useful in the future. It's a small part of the overall strategy to improve our climate future, but an important one as we get further along in the century and emissions already are reduced. So, yeah, if people hold up this technology and say "see, let's keep drilling", fuck that. But as long as it's an "and" not an "or", this is a good thing.
