I'm in need of a lot more Era of the Future legislation. You can help me come up with ideas as I work on other aspects of the game. 

If you have the time, try to think of some legislation that you think will occur between 2024-2099 that responds to each of these. Try to think of how a LW Populist (Sanders), Progressive (Warren), Liberal (Biden), Moderate (Manchin or McCain), Conservative (GW Bush), Traditionalist (Cruz), RW Populist (Trump) might propose different laws in these areas.  

 
Just copy+paste and type your ideas underneath and then I'll save these to my "to do" list.:
 
1. Future legislation geared at raising revenue or decreasing the budget. 
 
2. Future legislation geared at improving the economy when the economy is struggling.
 
3. Future legislation geared at military preparation, innovations, or improvements. 
 
4. Future legislation geared at domestic stability in the event of unrest.
 
5. Future legislation geared at clearly out corruption or dishonest government.
 
6. Future legislation geared at improving the quality of life of Americans.
 
7. Future legislation geared at improving the planet's health. 
 
8. Future legislation designed to make the following lobbies, Special Interest, Industries happy/angry:
 
Big Agriculture
Big Corporations
Manufacturing
Wall Street or Finance
Public Education
Private Education
Big Oil & Gas
Mining
Environmentalists
Alt Energy
Globalists
Big Tech
Maritime Industries 
Globalists
Isolationists
Military-Industrial Complex
Pacifists
Nationalists
Big Pharma
Public Health
Public Housing
Law & Order
Human Rights (international version of the below)
Civil Rights (domestic version of the above)
Labor Unions
Transportation
Welfare
LW Media
RW Media
Science
Free Trade
Protectionists
Expansionists
LW Activists
RW Activists
Reformists
Theocrats (Religious Right)

Just general remark

There will be a trend in future around some legislations

Laws to support Research and Developpment will increase

Old industries like coal will cease to exist as an industry by our lifetime

Euthanasia (the right to die with medicine) will become a law in most or the 50 states

Death penalty could be abolished in the 50 states

Nuclear energy could be the only old energy to survive the ecological transition

Those are the things I am pretty sure about

Thanks. Feel free to add more if you think of any more.

How about colonizing and sending Americans to live in planets across space. Perhaps if the player fails to take any action regarding to climate and the possible ramifications that come with it is replicated, the idea could gain popular support within the populace and the people in government.

I do have legislation for colonizing space, but I haven't any legislation to encourage colonization, which is something I should do. I doubt any colony gets enough people for statehood, however. 

In other news, @DakotaHale for some reason I can't make any more reactions today even though I've probably only given out maybe 5 reactions at most. I am unable to find anything online about lifting this restriction. It certainly doesn't happen on Anthony's forum.

I've found other people from other forums using this software with the same complaint by googling the "ya done gone went and did too many reactions" error message we get.  Unfortunately, I only think to google it while I'm at work, and most of the links I find (which might have a solution) are not accessible do to our work blockers.

Google has gone from being a useful tool in online research (it can still be such with patience, self-filtering, and willingness to bang one's head against the wall and gape at tonnes of inexplicable things that come up that just rationally SHOULDN'T) to joining the general Internet cesspool along with Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other crap that I never use and have never signed up an account for. And now, and I am heading for that coffee... 😛

If you're not using any of these tools, how do you know they are cesspools?  

;c)

Because I have trusted friends and associates who do. Plus, quoting tweets is a VERY common procedure of the incendiary, caustic, click-bait-and-opinion-pushing, untrustworthy, and sensationalist American "news," media (quotation marks used advisedly), in case you hadn't been aware. If one is to truly experience the broad world we live in, first-hand and empirical knowledge of it just aren't enough.

@Patine sometimes I'm surprised you haven't given up on using the internet.

Some places on the Internet are far worse than others. It's just a matter of discretion.

I would agree with that.  I’d add that the same is true of social media/Reddit too.  They can have great value or be cesspools, depending on how you use it.  
 

For myself, I did leave Twitter over privacy concerns.   But both FB and Reddit have been very helpful to me.

Dont understand your criticism of google, especially in the context I used it in — to find other people having the same tech issue we are and seeing if they found the solution to it.

In terms of Google, the search results seem very erratic, inexplicable, distorting very straight-forward search terms, and insist on stuffing a tonne of modern pop zeitgeist crap even if the search terms are very clear that those are not wanted at all. Images of Donald Trump should NOT come up in image searches about Medieval polities of India, frankly!

And Facebook has a far worse reputation for violation of user privacy and social engineering and experimentation schemes with no real consent of user data than Twitter ever has. And Mark "Big Brother Aspirant" Zuckerberg has practically confirmed this in paraphrased, indirect wording several times.

I just googled “medieval politics of India”:  all of the image results seemed very clearly related to India’s history and I saw no pictures of Trump.

As for privacy, sure, but I had no expectations of privacy on Facebook.  My name is right there — so I don’t put anything that I wouldn’t want to see association with my name publicly.

Twitter doesn’t require real names, it’s all just usernames.  As such, I felt assured that my identity would not be revealed publicly as long as I didn’t post it myself.  But when looking myself up on a public Criminal history database (just to see how accurate it is), it listed my Twitter account.  I immediately deleted it, as the implied promise of anonymity had been disproven.

Why were you surprised? You should know the U.S. has become an Orwellian surveillance state. You have unconditionally and loyally defended the U.S. Administration that made the biggest strides to stripping Americans' privacy and guaranteed protection by due process as being above reproach and requiring mandatory trust in all of it's decision. And big corporations (such as the ones Twitter and Facebook built on the foundations of) provided the software to create this dystopian environment. And, everyone knows the big corporation call the shots through what is essentially bribery, corruption, and graft when they want results from Government. The surprise seems a bit odd - or perhaps naive.

I didn’t care about the government knowing what I post.  I cared about anyone with ten dollars knowing.

I just said that given the power of corporations over, and being in bed, with Government, and business not being bound by the same theoretical rules about information, and other issues, as Government, the fact is, if Government knows what you post, corporations know too, and whomever they deign to sell that info to for whatever price they choose to do so. In fact, corporations almost certainly designed the intrusive software by which they all know. The immense about of Government corruption by the plutocratic oligarchy means that simple line you tried to draw in the affair in the post I'm quoting is utterly meaningless and irrelevant, in practice and de facto.

You’ve convinced me!  I...like Twitter now?  That’s what you’re going for, right?  ;c)
