The whole release was early access in my opinion, they just weren’t honest about it. Eventually it was a really good game, but even then it didn’t have everything they’d advertised.

The only other fast way to fight it is with violence, but without clear national unity and already decent leadership it usually results in some form of autocracy, making the situation worse.

Edit: violent revolution* usually doesn’t work, but violence itself can be rather effective

Sure, but I don’t think increased deficit spending necessarily implies “financial collapse” as long as it’s reinvested in infrastructure/research projects or allows people the financial freedom to spend more, if anything it’d be the opposite. The thing really hastening a collapse would be pooling all the money in very few places where it doesn’t get spent. You know, like some sort of oligarchical wealth transfer.

It’s $193M in stock, which can only be cashed out once Reddit IPOs, thus the drive to do so. Aside from that he gets a “mere” $600k/yr. He can probably borrow against that to a certain point, but I’m not sure a bank would value assets that can’t be liquidated.
