[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Thank you, Adam.  Maybe I'll hold off on tax reform for now...

[Adam Griffin]

Could you run the numbers on projected revenues generated from and the expense of running a 10-cent (containers 24 fl oz or less) and 15-cent (larger) container deposit program covering beer/malt/ale/soft drinks/water (including flavored, mineral, and soda)/wine/coffee/tea/juice, but not dairy products, covering glass, plastic, or metal containers smaller than 4 liters?

I assumed initially you meant regional, but then I thought maybe no?

I'm not planning a Senate/Presidential run It's regional.

2013 ESTIMATED REVENUE: $6.142 B
2013 ESTIMATED COST: $2.925 B

2013 NET REVENUE: $3.217 B

Net revenues would substantially drop assuming this program is successful over a period of 5-10 years; it is estimated that within the first year of the program, 48% of qualifying containers would be recycled.

Thank you, Adam.  Maybe I'll hold off on tax reform for now...

You don't have to, you know. You could just do all of the cuts except for, say, the top bracket.

[Adam Griffin]

I'd like to apologize for my recent lack of activity on the forums. As many know, life sometimes hits you like a bag of poop and doesn't let you breathe. I have 30,000+ words of writing work, a giant presentation along with other assorted issues all crammed into this week, and I have not been up to par with my GM duties. I promise that this trend won't continue, but for the next week it's going to be unavoidable.

Thanks for this, it's certainly something I'll take into consideration.

Could you run some cost estimates for...

Cost of extending preexisting high-speed rail line in Charlotte-Greensboro-Raleigh up to the NC-VA border (where it would ideally connect with a line coming down from Richmond)?

Cost of extending said line south to Atlanta via Greenville?

Cost of constructing a new line connecting Tampa, Orlando, and Miami?

I'll have cost estimates for you in the next couple of days.

Hey,

How much would revenue go up if I repealed the old gas tax and replaced it with 25 Cents/Gallon for Gasoline and 30 Cents/Gallon Diesel?

Cost of constructing a new line connecting Toledo > Detroit?

Cost of constructing a new line connecting Chicago > Indianapolis > Louisville > Charleston > Richmond?

Cost of constructing a new line connecting Nyman > Richmond > down to the NC-VA border?

Damn. Revenues are a bitch... And for some reason I don't think Labor will appreciate the idea of removing the 20th century to get it down to the Chinese costs.

Consider this making up for the missed grab bag report. Each dot represents a citizen with a listed PM score, from one of the four major parties. The large dots are the party's averages. You're welcome, Atlasia.

(Sorry Light: you're green - yellow is a bad color for these things)

I'm pretty sure I'm the orange on the right just below the inside box.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I think I can tell where Sjoyce is .

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I think I see myself as well

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

No room for Independents?

Can we get some statistics on hard drug use, especially cocaine and meth - including number of users, number of deaths because of use, number of rehab facilities, cost of maintaining them, and hotspots of use?  Thanks

Yes this would be extremely useful information.

Very nice!

I always thought of the Light Party as a left wing shoot-off from the Liberals when in fact they're a tad to the right. I'm also very close to being a 'generic Federalist'.

[Adam Griffin]

No room for Independents?

I refrained from doing so because of the vast discrepancy in scores of various independent citizens. I was actually shocked to see how much of a "diaspora" there was in the Liberal, Light and Federalist parties (I had did the Labor part a couple of weeks ago and as you can see, it's a fairly tight cluster by comparison). As such, the centers of gravity for these parties - and most likely for independents and other unaffiliated factions - would be or are somewhat less telling in comparison.

I'll look into it.

[Goldwater]

It's amazing how empty the authoritarian side of the spectrum is.

It would also be interesting to see what the national average PM score for atlasia is.
