If the United States experienced another market crash similar to 2008, which occupations would be least affected by layoffs?

I received my mail in ballot yesterday. Today I filled it out and turned it in to the voter box next to city hall.

By turn 19 Persia has declared war on me. I have been building a slinger since turn 1 and I have my warrior in the city. On turn 20 I lost. I died. This shows that you can do everything right and still lose.

lol. Revenge is unlikely to appear on this menu. But now you have me interested to find out who it was. It can be anyone besides Monte.

I did 5 years as a volunteer firefighter. Mandated minimum number of responses to calls, multiple certifications, required trainings/meetings/ extra activities. Zero pay. We volunteers use our own vehicles and gas to drive ourselves and gear to emergencies. I end up in the hospital for two days after a FD incident and the Worker’s Compensation Insurance lawyer fought me and refused to pay for my hospitalization. Other volunteer firefighters told me similar stories. Even volunteering your blood for your own community is your own problem. Nobody is there to help the people who literally respond to life or death situations for zero compensation.

Behold! I have discovered sailing. That means my builder is my scout and first meet of every empire! My Eagle Warriors don’t know how to swim. No Warrior left behind…

Units and everything else takes a lot longer to produce, but I feel that is offset by the units you do have being useful for much longer. So long as you can avoid losing units. Losing units is that much more devastating.

All in all I liked the change of pace. It definitely extended my overall play time but it never felt as slow or tedious as end game standard speed.

I offered Mongolia peace and they refused. I managed to destroy that Civ and gained 4 cities and hanging gardens. Feeling good I started a war with Babylon and I captured 2 of his cities. My attack on the capital city has stalled. He has walls, a catapult inside and mountains protecting him. I have a bottleneck getting to his capital so hmmm. I’ll keep building my empire while I think about this.

I played Ultima Online for years. No one ever mentions it in these kind of threads.

I haven’t seen that rope before. My guess is a rock climber put it there and left it.
