Issue 1028 - Can't get enough of you, baby
The issue:
With one of the lowest birth rates in all of @@REGION@@, several experts have warned that over time @@NAME@@ will face difficulties in sustaining its economy due to the increasingly ageing population.
The answer:
“Excuse me, some of us don’t want kids.” cries well-known career-woman, @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@. “I’ve worked hard to get to where I am in my life right now, and I will not sacrifice my career and my ambitions to breed some snotty-nosed kids. Pregnancy is hard work too; who needs it? I hear that new vat-technology is doing wonders in other places. If you desperately need new grunts, why don’t you just grow some and leave us out of it?”
Problems:
1. It outlawed sexual reproduction, which the issue itself didn't make clear enough would happen, it could be just complimentary to normal reproduction, as I thought was suggested on the issue itself;
2. It took away the policy of Sexual Education, which, even if people can't reproduce, is important to teach things like consent and because other countries do have sexual reproduction and sex is not just for reproduction;
3. It made conservatism grow by over 20%, and I don't know a single conservative who would support extiction of sexual reproduction and even less that'd support lab-made children only;
4. Civil rights fell by 6%, which, considering the first problem, makes some sense, but it doesn't outlaw having children exactly, because the labs need genes from somewhere and the problem presented on the issue is that too few people were having children, so someone wanting would be a plus, with labs making children for consenting people that so desire, giving the baby once it's born, besides the policy not outlawing adoption.
“Excuse me, some of us don’t want kids.” cries well-known career-woman, @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@. “I’ve worked hard to get to where I am in my life right now, and I will not sacrifice my career and my ambitions to breed some snotty-nosed kids. Pregnancy is hard work too; nobody should be put through that. I hear that new vat-technology is doing wonders in other places. If you desperately need new brats, why don’t you just grow them all in a lab and leave us poor women out of it completely?”

The libertarian civil rights option (#2) reduces civil rights, while the authoritarian primitivist option that bans chemicals from the public (#3) is considered to reduce neither rights nor science. Most inappropriately of all, option #4, which is one of the most unfathomably rude policies in the entire game, is treated as reducing rudeness.
I'm dismossing the issue for now, but I'm filing a report as I think it should be fixed.

Issue #95- "Painful Prices Paid At The Pump"
I chose option #1 to boost my Timber Woodchipping industry, and surprisingly the stat went down by 0.32% after being chosen. Doesn't seem right to me

Issue 590, I chose the "de-industrialization option". Figured this would make my nation more primitive, but in actuality...my Primitive stat went from -7.06 to -12.20. Eh? This option got rid of my nuclear power, got rid of my space program and I would *think* it would increase my primitiveness but maybe not? Just wondering if this is working as intended.

The 3rd option of this issue should have increased inclusiveness, since isn't it about including more cultures?

“Why bother with retirement anyway?” asks Diego Rifkin, a rather young basket weaving CEO whose employees consist mostly of his ageing relatives. “I mean, the only reason it exists is just so old people can laze around doing nothing, right? So why don’t we remove it altogether and make it so that people have to work no matter how old they are? Sure, incidents like that doctor who left his false teeth inside a patient might be more common than before; but that’s the price you have to pay for the sake of productivity.”
A secular destruction-cult, a rogue nation of space nomads, militarized mad scientists & anarchists.

This is to do with the limited toolset in the sim. Essentially, if you restrict economic freedoms, wealth gaps tend to decrease. If you increase economic freedoms, wealth gaps tend to increase.
There's lots more complexity to that behind the scenes, but the most common cause of mismatch between narratives and wealth gaps is due to this.
Sometimes, IRL, a reduction in economic freedom can result in greater wealth gaps. However, the sim doesn't allow for that.

In brief, local industries did receive a rise, but businesses' ability to work with international businesses was impinged (so any businesses that relied on import would suffer). This interaction means that this option can have negative effects on Economy, which is a secondary stat that is made up of a number of backstage stats interacting with your nation (although it is worth saying that your Economy only fell from 61.17 to 61.08. a fall of 0.13%).
If you have not done so yet, I suggest you go to Settings and turn on "Show More Stats", which will show the raw numbers of your stats when you answer issues. These look less dramatic than percentages.
