Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Such is the case with "Economy 2.0," a big update to the beleaguered yet continually in-development game, due to arrive within the next week or so.The first and most important thing it tackles is the persistent issue of "High Rent," something that's bothering the in-game citizens ("cims" among fans), C:S2 players, and nearly every human living in the United States and many other places.
They removed the "virtual landlord" that takes in rent, so now a building's upkeep is evenly split among renters.
While developer Colossal Order's other fixes feel almost elegant in their simplicity, this one is a bit more grubby, like real life.
If a citizen has a high enough income, but not enough liquid cash, such that they should have been able to swing this month's boarding, "they won’t complain and will instead spend less money on resource consumption."
Cutting back on coffee bars and avocado toast should work, then, unless their income drops too low.
