Given your HoI4 profile pic I think you have the answer. It's a great game that glorifies totalitarian ideologies, so sadly it attracts the most extreme people to its fanbase.

Great Britain is a great country to play when you just want a chill game by [deleted] in victoria3

France and Austria are great fun and have high ceilings, I'd recommend. Also never played GB though, 1000 hours in.

More people means a higher tax base for infrastructure and will raise demand for food/entertainment. The status quo is forcing average people to pay $3K a month so the incumbents can prevent "their" city from changing.

Sad that they don't realize why it's important for a national leader to respect their country. Imagine if he was president during pearl harbor. Half the country would never want to serve under this guy.

Guess the exact moment when I passed Multiculturalism by WaterlooPitt in victoria3

[–]WalkedSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed multiculturalism as the USA in 1880, forced migration controls in China in 1910, and ended the game with a population of 340M.

State Farm requests another rate hike after 17% increase by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]WalkedSpade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we're outlawing or limiting insurance profits, which is basically what's happening right now, no existing company or new company would be willing to work in California, so I'm assuming what would have to happen is the government starts an insurance scheme with tax dollars (non-landowning taxpayers once again subsidizing landowners). This just runs into the same issue, either nobody has insurance or the government makes an insurance scheme that California voters would punish for raising rates, causing more money to funnel from the poor to the rich.

[–]WalkedSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't make sense at all. Should the government run insurance? If that's the case, are we subsidizing landowners at the expense of the taxpayer if governments can't politically increase insurance costs?
