It always confused me when growing up playing Alpha Centauri (SMAC) where Capitalism as a governance model had such bad morale costs and only decent combo is if you had massive police spending. So I did some research and found out that th

How many does the US build a year? 3/year would be hailed as a massive success here - and it should be hailed likewise for China.

I have long since stopped relying on consumer reports - they seem to take quixotic positions on specific vendors to try to editorialize their findings for "balance" (audience capture?) when in some years, there are clear best opti
