American Crisis (OOC/PMT/North America/Dead)

[Apror]

Then what the hell do people pay for things on the street? And I'm more importantly, how would they pay for drugs? I'm trynna get the cartel smuggling going again.

Citizens of the Conglomerate get biometric implants that monitor the amount of requisition IUs they possess, and pay for goods and services with that requisition. Basically, by laboring for Blue Sky, they are entitled to a portion of the resources that Blue Sky possesses. It works fine within a closed society, but external trade has to be conducted in more concrete terms.

Well, you see, there's this thing called a wall.

Which, as I noted earlier, is probably a good way to spark off a civil war. Hell, look at how people are divided over a border wall now, and we're just trying to keep out economic migrants from other countries, not fellow Americans fleeing a collapsing world.

We don't see that, you underestimate how quick Texans would go from Americans to fuck you, we're Texans. Pluse, the wall isn't as decisive here. Plus, more is at stake than with Economic Migrants from Mexico. Civil war, or sustaining our society? A civil war wouldn't erupt. Plus, we'd send some foreign aid. Then Invasion. Then Domestic aid!

[Apror]

Good way to make the Tejanos come to my side, they hate the idea of the Cartel. It's also ridiculously dangerous to smuggle for the Cartel, the immediate sentence is death.

Ok, that means there is a massive shortage of drugs and therefore high prices. I'm looking at those white majority counties with high incomes. As well as white addicts in poverty like the heroin addicts in New Hampshire.

White Majority Counties? You'd have to go a ways away. Plus, again, Drug Dealers or Cartel members have a hearty price to pay for doing drugs, and people have no shame in ratting out people at this point.

Hmm, I hear what you're saying, I just don't think you're a dispassionate authority on the topic

Realistically, unless you're willing to kill refugees, you aren't going to be able to keep millions of them out of Texas. And if you are willing to kill refugees, you're buying a world of hurt. Texas isn't an island, and wouldn't survive the world collapsing just because "we're Texas".

You know, gated communities. There's still lots of counties in Texas that are 90% white. We shall see.

[Pimps Inc]

What would we use to pay the Conglomerate?

Hmm, I hear what you're saying, I just don't think you're a dispassionate authority on the topic

Realistically, unless you're willing to kill refugees, you aren't going to be able to keep millions of them out of Texas. And if you are willing to kill refugees, you're buying a world of hurt. Texas isn't an island, and wouldn't survive the world collapsing just because "we're Texas".

We'd be willing to administrate very hurtful repression for entering out territory illegally, before sending you back. We'd be very vocal about the fact we don't want people coming in. To the point we've invaded countries to make the point. Want to live in Texas? Okay, we're going to make you apart of Texas.

[G-Tech Corporation]

What would we use to pay the Conglomerate?

Whatever you have in excess. Industrial raw materials are always good- the Conglomerate can easily provide bulk shipping. Iron ore. Coking coal. Crude oil. Lithium. Nickel. All that good stuff.

Ah, the old "integrate a country that hates you" plan. I'm sure there won't be any problems with that.

Communities bottle fed hatred of drugs. Texas doesn't play around with that, and that's now. Any Majority white county is nowhere near the border, and they're not many around today. They'd probably be rural communities that are Majority white, but in the Urban areas? No.

It was more out of need m8, plus we eventually spread our resources to those areas once we had the incentive to. We can't use them if they're not producing, so we'd develop them.

Whites are probably the most addicted. US has the largest drug demand by far.
"Nearly 20 percent of whites have used cocaine, compared with 10 percent of blacks and Latinos, according to a 2011 survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — the most recent data available."
I can think of ways to get drugs North.

[Newne Carriebean7]

I can think of ways to get drugs North.

As long as you supply Spaatz with chocolate covered Cookie Dough and all the coke a fat man could ask for, he'll look the other way when you drop off your goods and establish your drug empire in the north...

Spaatz wants in on the drugs, huh? Good.

[Apror]

But when our Aircraft come out of nowhere from the atomosphere, that's kinda hard to handle. Plus our Aircraft are stealthy as fuck, we'll be fine. The drones too.

Oh, never you fear. The Conglomerate well understands the virtues of suborbital fighters and interception systems, and how to deal with stealth

And our expertise is happily for sale for the right price.

How well is doubtful. A company versus a Military bent on Air Superiority and getting past interception systems. No one can readily deal with US stealth, except theoretically the Russians. Theoretically. I'd doubt a Company could do what Countries are still trying to. My stealth is top the line, not shoody craftsmanship. Maybe some other Stealth Fighters, but not mine. We'd have found out about your interception systems, then systematically done something about it.

Not to mention how many will you be providing in how much time?

What was that? Most recent you say? Ah, that's true. I doubt Cocaine has been in Texas boarders since the 30's-40's and our prompt clensings of the Cartels.

I know he's my ally, but I don't care. Go for it Spatz, some one has to be crazy in this relationship.

Ah, but Blue Sky is more than a simple company. She has the population of a country, and the resources.

I don't think you read my app, which might inform exactly why Blue Sky is as advanced as it is. No worries; Blue Sky is the descendant of almost all U.S. defense contractors. If anyone knows how to do stealth, Blue Sky does, and Texas doesn't.

[South Vict]

Hey Apror, Are you a fan of EU4?

No

You should. It's pretty interesting. By the way they released a new Expansion called Mandate of Heaven.

[Pimps Inc]

Drugs dont just disappear. With all that migration and synthetic drugs of the future, violent crackdown on drugs has never worked and probably didn't end drugs. It's in a low, ok, but the demand is still there.

It's basically if the military industrial complex declared independence.

And fucked off north where all those tasty untapped resources are, so they wouldn't have to deal with the world getting narfed.

No, we took all the defensive contractors operating in our country after the war, and all the ones in the place we embraced in the love of the Empire. Pretty sure we know stealth, and can fund our own creations well. Though, I'll give you props, that's a good reason why.

Okay, I'm amused. Hmmmm. Though I'd imagine all that weaponry to be expensive to buy all at once.

You mean all those companies that had already moved north during the instability leading up to the Fateful Day? That's what Blue Sky did. Oh, you probably had a few dilapidated factories left, and some of the contractors who weren't interested in being safe from the coming apocalypse. But before there was a Texan Empire, most of the defense contractors would have been years gone.

Certainly. Not to mention, even with a solid industrial capacity, time is definitely a factor. Building ships, in particular, will take a while.

Again, we'd have other resources to keep, plus that wouldn't have been allowed. Taking everything I mean. We'd also have kept a lot of US Equipment, and other Texans companies. Plus basically the know how of everything, so we'd be able to start our own stuff fairly easily in comparison to most countries.

Jesus. I'm almost tempted to ask for a Carrier, just cause I want to focuse on other stuff for the moment. Hmmmmm. Wait, you said you were up North Right?
