More of a global depression after these yahoos purposefully crash the economy.

The plan is to repeal it first, and then figure out what to do from there.

Probably whatever makes the most money for insurance companies.

Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

It's just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

Now, it's not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.

Molten salt?

We can then use compressed CO2 in the place of steam to drive the turbine.

Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

Ethanol is incredibly inefficient as a fuel source.

If not for the massive subsidies it would not exist.

Still, ethanol is a better fuel additive than lead. (Both reduce knocking)

Still, the far better use is to grow food.

Mindustry is much closer to the tower defense side of it.

Or maybe the RTS side.

There are even attack modes, where you build up an army to take on a fixed emplacement of enemy units.

Harris was the path of things slowly getting better. Wages finally overtaking inflation.

Given a couple years, we would all be in a better place.

Trump's tariffs will drive up the price of everything. The last few years of inflation and greed will pale in comparison.

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

The true captains of industry do want this. chaos is how they transfer wealth from the poor to themselves.

In a depression, the money doesn't vanish, it goes into the pockets of the super rich.

That's actually the plan.

Bankrupt the government and sell it off for parts.
