[option]"This would be even worse!", disagrees @@RANDOMNAME@@, CEO of Cars and Co., slinging his keyring with the logo of his firm. "People can't give up their homes. I say that current buildings should be added wheels and motors to make them mobile. For a small increase in their taxes, they will be able to flee to the plains before the earthquakes and return when they are finished.. if they want. Imagine the possibilities!"

[stats]Political freedoms decreases, Religion & Spirituality increases
[option]"What about preventing the earthquakes?", casually asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, raising his eyes from his last-generation console. "We can send nanobots to the lower layers of the earth to alter its physical properties in order to decrease the probability of earthquakes..."
