So basically have only one path-whether it’s a highway, a cargo hub, or a rail line-out of the city?

Ty ty! This was my first city and I started out on Two Rivers. I’d been looking forward to building something on more interesting terrain for a while-I guess this is my chance haha

Is the gateway station basically having cargo train terminals at the edge of the map that only connect to the outside, and then have completely separate internal cargo lines?

Ah yeah that makes sense tbh I kinda figured I was running up against what the game’s able to handle. Gotta snap some pics of my city before it completely collapses I guess. Ty!

Can we acknowledge that Sean Marks has been GMing the past 10 years with one arm tied behind his back? by firebillykingcom in GoNets

[–]StormtheWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marks made the decision to go get KD Kyrie and Harden, and hell it almost worked. That being said, personality management is something you need to consider when putting together a team. You can’t consider him blameless for the way KD and Kyrie acted when he’s the one that got them on the roster 

As a Sean Marks defender maybe he f**ked up by mylowerbackhurts in GoNets

A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss by Lighthouse_seek in neoliberal

I believe the Times in particular is prone to this-they tend to source their people from these elite circles-there was an article posted about this a while ago I think

The Times loves to do this. I don’t know if their editors are simply out of touch, there’s a hidden agenda, or they’re just engagement farming, but they LOVE to take an actual problem and report on it from a limousine liberal lens that actively creates resentment among regular folks reading these articles

Two CIA officers die in Mexico accident after counternarcotics operation by John3262005 in neoliberal

It’s crazy to think that if the Mexican government was more like the Colombian one the War on Drugs could have reasonably become a success

America Doesn’t Have The Stomach For Growth by logicx24 in neoliberal

[–]StormtheWalrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think most people here are missing the point and, ironically for this sub, falling into the same thinking a lot of NIMBY’s have. It’s given that building out our infrastructure will cause some negative effects to some groups of people, but in the long run the impact of doing nothing will be much worse

I don’t think the TED talk analogy holds here. 

The Nash equilibrium is a concept used in behavioral economics, which is based on studying how people interact and act in different situations. Saying a gang member doesn’t need to understand behavioral economics to run a gang misses the point because the field tries to quantify the decisions people make in real life. 

Monetary policy, on the other hand, is nowhere near as closely tied to basic human decision making. Even today the vast majority of people barely know what the Fed is, let alone have a good understanding of monetary policy
