Thanks!

#102: For Whom The Road Tolls [Ta Kala; ed: Sirocco]
The Issue
A group of transport analysts have suggested that a charge of five @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ a day for vehicular access to @@NAME@@'s most congested inner-cities during peak hours is the only way to solve their ever-growing traffic problem.
Got the choice of banning cars to increase public transportation and bussing.
""Allowing cars to scoot around and pollute our cities was a bad idea in the first place," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a famous environmentalist. "The solution is to abolish private motor transport whilst funding a major urban public transport scheme. Our buses and undergrounds could be the envy of the world! Yes, the car companies will suffer, and yes, there'll be a bit more tax, but wouldn't it be worth it for a bit of fresh air and safe streets for the children?""
Goodbye to top 50 of Scientific Advancement. My choice saw some pretty punishing effects to various important stats for minimal gain in return...
-13% to my Scientific Advancement (+13 to Primitiveness in spite of a robust public transit system being seen as a hallmark of advancement in many places rather than primitiveness) and pushed me to 62nd. Was not expecting it to hit that hard, especially given how the answer was worded.
Public education went up .36%, which saw a drop in average intelligence of -0.01%? What, did people become less intelligent in spite of increased efforts to ensure exactly the opposite? Is the average person learning less or has there suddenly been unforeseen consequences in teaching people more or putting more money towards teaching them anything? Is driving really that critical to ensuring people are more intelligent (given that I've seen how most people drive, it most certainly isn't a measure of one's intellect but rather coordination and thoughtfulness).
Life Expectancy is up 0.02%, Average Income is up 0.08%, Obesity is down a whopping 27.6%, but HDI couldn't be bothered to increase even 0.01%?
Then there's the point that for all of this, my Public Transport stat only went up 2.2%? What's the use in even selecting this option other than to tank advancement and industry stats?
Then Insurance went up, in spite of there being less individual things to insure? It'd make sense if there'd been any actual improvements to the Public Transportation stat, but instead I can only assume it went up because everyone's buying apartments closer to their workplaces now to avoid the Horse and Buggy plague that's descended onto the streets?
Needless to say, time to go full cyberpunk with every issue I come across now, since it apparently is the only way we can get any progress in issues.

Right. And to clarify, the relevant section of the FAQ is this:But hold on... it get's worse. Also, many of these pseudo-policies are based on stats that the game only generates for a nation the first time they are used. This means that the pseudo-policy may suddenly appear when that stat is generated, even if the decision is one which is pushing the stat away from the pseudo-policy's criterion.

Issue #: 669
In issue 669 the decisions are for determining how to handle the large increase in residential solar power production, from personal roof top solar panels. The options are 1. make a flat grid fee and lower KWh prices. 2. install power meters and let people sell power back to the grid. 3. ban solar panels. 4. Fund research into personal battery banks for houses. I chose option 4, the batteries.
the issue i had with that is, it lowered my mining industry by 14% from 3.9k to 3.3k. that change makes zero sense to me because the amount of mining lithium and other metals to make batteries is crazy, so if anything i would think that the mining industry value would go up. i get why it goes down, because the implication that you arent mining oil and coal or whatever. but i would think it would take more to mine materials for battery then fossil fuels because A. you dont have to move a lot of dirt for oil. and B most coal was made at one time in history, so likely it would be at a similar depth, all depending on tectonic plates of course.
TLDR i think option 4 for issue 669 should have marginal effect on the mining industry or make it go up.

“That would be a hideous waste of yunos!” objects the State Treasurer, showing you a number of charts that all seem to blend together. “If no one wants to view official media, then they don’t have to. We should scrap the entire thing and let the public come up with their own sources of information and entertainment. The resources could be allocated to somewhere else, like on strengthening our military and funding law enforcement.”

Going by the text of the issue (especially talking about family values and pride), I expected that this outcome might lower civil rights and crime/raise compliance and social conservatism. I was kind of surprised then that youth rebelliousness (+1) and crime (+0.01) both went up instead. I understand the effect line is a reference to braveheart, but I thought issue outcomes were supposed to be based more on the text than on the outcome. Seems unusual unless I just misread its intended slant?
