That the upswing didn’t happen under Obama pretty much shows how effective his policies were. When it looked like the policies would change, the market took off.

I’m looking at a lot of factors. Results matter to me more than rhetoric, and the rhetoric I hear from the Dems is that they’re gonna go back to the ‘kick people in the nuts while telling them they’re ‘helping’ them’ play.

Rhetoric is one thing, results another. Our political class seems to have focused on making promises without thinking about the results of them.

Well, he’s an economics expert! Who should we listen to if not him?

Looking at the candidates, I don’t see any of them planning for the long term - they’re looking at getting into office by any means, promising anything they have to whether it’s credible, possible, or practical, and beyond that they’ll... just do what ‘feels right’, regardless of the results.

I don’t LIKE Trump - but looking at the candidates on the D side I’ll take him as a ‘Least Worst’ choice.

Sure you can. After 8 years of stagnation under Obama, I was figuring Hillary had a lock on the Presidency and the economy was going to stay the same or get worse ‘unexpectedly’. Imagine my surprise when Trump won, and the day after the election the market took off like a jet on afterburners. Trump’s tax cuts have…

No money in wokeness?

Fuck yeah. This is BAD news. With any luck at all, the guy will break things off.

If you really want to go green, make ‘em out of cornstarch packing peanut material. We had a guy in shipping who used to snack on the things. He’d bring in garlic salt and just munch away...

Like the Necromancer with the lich...

Not sure. Supposedly you can call the Anomaly/Nexus, but I don’t know what level you need to be at for that.  

Did see some video glitches, and had my geology cannon glitch until I dumped it and recreated it - but overall I’d say 9.5 out of 10.

If I can help I’ll be glad to! Spent about four hours on it last night. The dialog choices (and process) are a bit different now, and you no longer have to give credits, mordite or copper to learn words. (Damn, all those fish dead for nothing! Lol.) But you’ve also got a chance to try out your language skills -…

22:00 - “Yeah, lemme just finish this one thing...”

He’s in a recess just to the right of the trade terminal on the left-hand (as you’re looking out) side of the station. Can’t find any good pictures, but this video should help.

I usually just find a plateau for a base, dig down at about 30 degrees, make a right turn, dig down a bit further then hollow out an area to put the base terminal in. Put a 2 to 4-box house over the entrance to the tunnel, add some flags and some lights, and you’re ready to upload.

You’ve got two sides to a space station. One side’s got the Guild Rep (who’ll almost always give you some units) and the Mission assigner, and a trade terminal.

Near the center of the Euclid galaxy (about 5-10k out) your access routes narrow considerably and I started seeing the occasional base. The last jump before the Center there were three other bases on the planet... so I left one myself.

Upgrade your scanner with at least one Supreme upgrade, and the units just roll in.
