Ah yes, Bush's "No Corporation Left Behind" program.

Don't worry, I'm sure in a future update, windows will tell you how to "fix" that too. 😉

I guarantee there’s more people who might like to travel than planes and fuel to move them. Expanding the sector requires a variety of inputs, which themselves are in shortage.

There will always be some things that will be scarce, yes, like say space travel, that will have to be dealt with by other means. The point is that there are more than enough other things that can be provided in abundance to give everyone a high standard of living. And once the inefficiencies of the current system are removed, even many scarce things (like air travel) will be far more available than they are now.

Please do. I did read through that page and a few other places on the website. It explains that it’s a new economic system, but not how it works.

There are a couple pages that go over the basics (e.g. The Energy Certificate), but if you want more details I just need a way to get a couple of pdfs to you.

You might want to check out Technocracy, it was designed specifically to deal with this issue.

You should probably check out Technocracy, it was designed specifically to deal with job loss due to automation.

Maybe they should make a reality tv show about it, entertainment is way more lucrative than saving lives. I mean, if they can make crab fishing a show... 😞

Thankfully I didn't have to use it, but in looking it up at least I know how to now. Opensuse makes it pretty easy!

Yup, that was it. I rebooted using 6.8.8 and everything works fine now. I guess I have to do that until the next kernel update. Thanks!

Well, if you’re talking about just food, shelter, and some very basic kind of transportation (no planes!), sure, there’s no scarcity. That’s a very low bar, though, and most people don’t want to live at the subsistence level.

No, I mean a high standard of living, according to what is possible at the time. Good homes, plenty of good food, easy transportation wherever you want to go in the country, etc.

Can you link to the original proposal, so I know what we’re talking about?

I can get you the older stuff sure, but it was written for a different audience. You'll most likely do better with a starting point like this.

Yup, that's totally how I played him. Just like Ryu from Street Fighter, committed to his art. Except with better manners and fashion sense.

They aren’t really incompatible in game. For Vampires, a Lupine should be an OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK tier enemy to most parties, either a run (smart) or fight as a team (good luck) encounter.

Yeah. One time in tt, our malk and a setite met one on the Santa Monica pier. Malk got a miraculous 8 successes on Athletics to get away (took a picture of it), while the setite did the smart thing and dove into the water.

Did your Toreador solo a lupine by themselves? Were they a powerful Elder, or the world’s luckiest roller?

Not an elder, but a martial artist with max Celerity. Still lost though, because at the time I sucked at challenges.

Just don't freeze people in prison as punishment, ok? I've seen how that goes. Before you know it, we've got Stallone knitting things.
