Also, hi Peanut! Sorry I reply so rarely nowadays!
It's like a parody of Bush-style conservatism made by people who hate Bush-style conservatism ... except that they're also 100% sincere.
I keep second-guessing myself with Newsom. Everything screams "this guy has completely misread the situation he's in" but a little impostor-syndrome part of me says that "surely a guy like Newsom isn't a complete moron."
America will finally have its Gladstone and Disraeli.

I don't really understand why the discourse shifted so radically on this after everyone seemingly agreed that the Democrats were wrong to cave on the shutdown.
And that's me speaking as someone's who's iffy on "stove touching."

I generally prefer KX because the updates are quicker but I wish they had a simple toggle for a mode that restricts the AI to more typical Kaiserreich paths (without having to select every last path manually).

Theoretically but it's quite difficult. The problem is that it is literally true that the government could impoverish its general population to benefit sectional interests.
In a real democracy, this doesn't matter but when your constitution is designed to "balance" these interests, it's gets hard.
I haven't done anything that drastic but I do cringe whenever I see my unchangeable username and I use the support feature to delete games.
The problem there is that his plans are actually so stupid that protectionists can credibly argue that he's not doing it right.
It's alright everyone. It's 2010, life's good and all those horrible mistakes you made never happened.
Massive eye roll!
It's so bizarre watching people try to negotiate with the version of Trump that they invented in their head rather than the one who said, repeatedly, throughout his entire life that he believed trade deficits were subsidies and that free trade itself was a rip off.
