Yeah, but we might want to concentrate on other priorities first, like rebuilding Tokyo from Bintang's latest Godzilla impersonation, and maaaybe housing for refugees since we're approaching the point where we have nowhere to stash them that isn't a fortress town, even if admittedly said fortress towns are reasonably secure at the moment.
So here's my plan. I have dramatically changed to shift focus away from Anadyr and towards getting Phase 1 of the tentacle harvesters rolled out, for reasons I'm sure everyone will understand.

ARGUMENTS:
1) Prioritizing Tokyo reconstruction (which will help patch up our naval posture in the Pacific) over either rails or apartments. From the description of rails, I see rails as having reduced urgency right now- we are explicitly at the point of diminishing returns. But having a hole in Tokyo is going to cause real problems.
2) This plan is going to hold off on pushing Anadyr dice, tentatively planning to do the bulk of Anadyr spending in 2061Q1 and the portal research in 2061Q2 and 'Q3, so that we can afford to work on the tendril harvesters. A security review in Heavy Industry is still needed; the area is overdue (it's been three years), and with Anadyr we really don't want moles. I'm taking advantage of the lack of pressure in heavy Industry to push fusion plants harder, because we still need at least two more phases to finish all our Plan commitments and have any kind of an Energy surplus left over.
3) In Agriculture,
4) Obviously, in Tiberium, I'm heavily investing in the tentacle harvesters. By throwing things together aggressively, I was able to give us a great chance to hit Stage 1 in a single turn. I'm not so optimistic about Stage 2, because of the need to worry about our Plan targets in other areas; Resources only stretch so far. But we'll see what we can do.
5) Out of regard for @Rakuhn , I have taken the liberty of arranging all options into the order they are found in the turn post. I think.
6) EDIT: Flipped the die from ablatives to Skywatch. Ablatives will get done by turn end, and with the offensive winding down the drain on stockpiles will be dropping, so it should be fine for another turn. If we're going to get Skywatch done this turn (and now there's a groundswell of support), we might as well do it now.
