There is a world of difference between Communism and Socialism. They are not the same. Nor are Capitalism and Fascism. Fascism and Communism are both at the extremities of Right and Left wing political thinking respectively. Each member of a ruling extremist party is focused on one thing, and one thing ONLY: Staying in power at ANY and ALL costs. What you refer to as "mistakes" made by the USSR weren't "mistakes". They didn't care about anything but staying in power. Pay no mind to what they say, but watch what they do. Talk is cheap. See George Orwell's 1984, or Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Research how the modern Chinese Communist Party operates. It's easy. There's plenty on YT about it, including CCP propaganda, as well as the usual dupes and schills. And always keep in mind what I said about extremists and power.

I forgot about it until I saw George's post. Another glitch is all.

@Prefontaine Maybe try this out. This strikes at the root of the problem, and might be a long-term solution. I'm paraphrasing an answer to Sweeeeet Ronnie D above. It supposes a target of 40% reduction in materials: Maybe decrease raw materials output for manufacturing by around 20%, and increase usage by 20%. ie. Instead of 10 mines putting out 45 units/day, the new output would be 36 units/day. A 5 factory city needing 30.6 units/day would now need 36.72 units/day. This kind of splits the 40% between miners/drillers and manufacturers. It might cut into materials production enough to not need to add materials to constructing cities. And a 20% decrease in pollution/build price/operating cost on all of the above is fair, and wouldn't be a real game changer. Excess raw material for manufactures and manufactured materials should fall off. (C, Fe, Pb, Bauxite and Oil base production = 2.4 units per day) Food and Uranium are tough ones, due to the inelastic demand angle. Slashing Farm productivity by like 40% sounds kinda Draconian, but it would bring Farm profits closer to manufacturing profits, and drop the amount being produced. Farming would still be more profitable than manufacturing for Plantation owners. Excess Food should fall off. (Farm base production = Land Area/833.333333. With Mass Irrigation = Land Area/625) For U, a 40% downward adjustment for pollution/build price/operating cost to go with the Draconian 40% decrease in mine output. Excess Uranium should fall off. (U base production = 1.8 units per day; 3.6 with U Enrichment) Anyway, that would fix the excesses on Food and U, and without adjusting usage amounts for the consumers. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. "Green Acres is the place fer me! Farm livin' is the life fer me!" - Oliver Wendell Douglas

That did cross my mind. It's hard to balance this stuff. Like cutting numbers by 40%, as an example. Maybe decrease raw materials output for manufacturing by around 20%, and increase usage by 20%. ie. Instead of 10 mines putting out 45 units/day, the new output would be 36 units/day. A 5 factory city needing 30.6 units/day would need 36.72 units/day. This kind of splits the extra load between miners/drillers and manufacturers. It might cut into materials production enough to not need to add materials to constructing cities. Excess raw material for manufactures and manufactured material should fall off. Food and Uranium are tough ones, due to the inelastic demand angle. Slashing Farm productivity by like 40% strikes me as kinda Draconian, but it would bring Farm profits closer to manufacturing profits. Farms are way more profitable than factories. Excess Food should fall off. I don't mine much Uranium for profit, even with the project. Maybe a pollution/build price/operating cost adjustment for the Uranium mines (and probably everything else I mentioned!) to go with a Draconian 40% productivity cut to Uranium mines. Excess Uranium should fall off. Anyway, that would fix the excesses on Food and U, and without adjusting usage amounts for the consumers. "Green Acres is the place fer me!

Food Production - If Food went from $1.4 billion to $4.7 billion excess in around 4 months, maybe that can be fixed by just changing the Farm limits, ie. limit of 10 Farms instead of 20, Bonus Production = 50% @ 10 Farms, Land area bonus would still apply. Kind of like Fe / Pb mining and Oil drilling, but with the Land bonus. That would effectively cut excess Food production in half.😲 I'm not sure how to define 'excess', but there is currently about 118 days of Food available for the entire population of Orbis, vide the World Map, and Data Visualization numbers. I'm not sure what would be a nominal figure, but it seems that less than 1/3 of the Food produced in that 4 month period was used.🤔 *Face facts : Growing Food is stupid profitable compared to anything else, given the zero cost for mfg. / pollution reduction, so whales buy Plantations. Get Green Tech + land and you're all set. That juice was definitely worth the squeeze! Hey, I'm somewhat guilty of doing this myself.😁 Uranium usage rates : Double? Maybe a 50% - 66% increase for U usage, but double seems a bit excessive. I'm thinking of players that can't mine it like I do, or have low city count and have to purchase to keep the lights on.💡 The rest of the sinks seem OK. Nice to see the crew's on top of things!

It was good, Vero. Missed ya from $yndicate. Best of luck, man.

Good for you, Wizel. I have no idea how anyone tolerates being in a government position in the first place. Now King Canbec, another of The Seven Kingdoms paid thugs is running TKR! Yesss..... Soon, Yugi will be King of The Knights Radiant, and Gudea will be named Herald of Growth, Taxation, and Embezzler of Funds and Resources! Bwhahaha!! SK's insidious plot thickens.....😂

🤣 OK. So Orange Man bad again. 🤣

I believe we need to give more care to the lower class

The US disburses the most money of any nation on Earth by far in humanitarian aid. Something like $8.25 billion last year. And that is the figure for just what is called "Humanitarian aid" from the Federal government. That doesn't include any private contributions made to NGO's operating here or overseas. 😵 Americans are quite generous....other governments less so. -

It's quite likely Putin's biggest fear right now is someone from the Russian military or FSB doin' 'em in. Immoral? I'm not so sure of that. "Whaddya ya call it...when the assassin kills the assassin?" - Col. Kurtz, from Apocalypse Now!
