A drop of 0.18% for your nation when you choose it. The drop is tiny is entirely secondary effects of the model that I don’t wish to untangle.

Omniscientia wrote:Choosing option #2 in issue #714 Milky Way (with market economy) seems to lower, among other things, Lifespan, Health, Environmental Beauty and Eco Friendliness. The reduction is relatively small (0.2-1.3%), but still, why would supporting synthetic proteins do that? Synthetic bovine proteins wouldn't be any different than bovine proteins obtained from cows, and that would presumably lead to less cows on farms, and less polution / methane emissions, which would improve environment, and by extension lifespan and health.

While the effect is obviously intended, the magnitude and power seems to be too high unless the intention of really is to entirely abolish it. Additionally, it has weird negative impacts on the income of rich and the black market. Shouldn't it result in a minor increase of the latter as more people go for that over legitimate methods?

“Legislation is the answer,” declares tatty-suited progressive Cleveland Golightly in the middle of a two-hour slideshow on rainfall. “Crack down on air pollution, regulate vehicle emissions, and heavily tax polluting industry and power generation.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

were you suppressing religion before? choosing the secular option may have undone that, causing your religiousness to rise as a result.
a speculation.

“Why have exams at all? Everyone knows that they’re a waste of everybody’s time,” admits visibly stressed out teacher Edna Crandall, who is on her tenth cigarette of the day. “In fact, do we really need a proper curriculum to follow? Schools and teachers should be able to teach whatever they think is relevant. This can be learning a new language or the intricacies of soap opera love triangles. The schools would save some cash, and it would make my job much easier too.”

NOt a specific issue. It is just that the displayed results are up and down do much. Look at my chart it is like its reading my heart or breathing. UP, then DOWN. Could gather a list of a few conditions showing each one. The quesiton wasn't really why issue x caused my employment to rise/fall but why does it fluctuate so radically.
Maybe the bug has something to do with it. It isn't a big concern. Looking at my chart it has been happening for a very very long time and I'm only now asking about it. More curiosity that concern.
