[X]Plan Bracing for Impact
Between Silicon Dreams and Bracing for Impact, I'll go for the one that doesn't leave our electronics industry in dreams and instead actually sets a goal of Consumer Electronics.
Also, I'm pretty sure Silicon Dreams counted its dice wrong? It should have the same HI spread as Bracing for Impact.

Yeah, I accounted for the R but forgot the dice when adding GEP.
Also, we asked Blackstar on Discord, the plan target has no effect other than setting goals for ourselves, and I think the Service one will just be easier to achieve.

Someone just asked in discord and she said the target only affects what we need to meet for the plan.

Getting your company financial statement of the past 10 years or transferring money no longer required days, just a few hour.
Less error, faster reporting to the ministry.
Now imagine it x1 million for all the SOEs and private enterprises.
Can't wait for Soviet "Catch me if you can".

The infrastructure focus also means the entire economy becomes more efficient at moving and processing those resources, which is going to be important if the cost of oil explodes.
On the other hand, cheaper electronics means that Youtube will have tons of niche 70s Soviet TV shows surviving on home VHS tapes, and a bunch of people can start to making their own films with home recording equipment.

I think credit cards and consumer credits in general are not very Soviet, and for debit cards you'd need a few generations more of electronics and networking. So doubt it's credit cards.

@Vi'Talzin you miscalculated your dice totals: You use 6 HI autodice, which means there should be 4 left over, not 5.

Our economy is already full of loan sharks, and we passed the point of "private debt bad" a long, long time ago. Debit cards have been around since the 60s.

Credit cards were computerized in 1973. ATMs have been around since 1969, its relatively recent, but we can do it without too many issues. Also, pretty sure we already have non-computerized credit cards.
Fixed, thanks

I didn't realize that. That makes me want to vote for an infra+HI plan to appease the spirit of communism now.

We can do that next plan, if the current one stabilizes services and consumer electronics as a sector adequately. It will definitely be HI-something.

Once more walking the path of the catgirl.
Imagine if we go straight back to HI/CI after this plan - truly the soviet industrial cravings would be hitting same as always.

I feel like the importance of CNC machines for making our consumer electronics good has been underemphasized here. Along with them improving pretty much every other industrial process.
You know... I was thinking about meeting the consumer goods target, and I just realized... We met the consoom target for several plans by building cars. Come the oil crisis, the consumer goods segment is going to get HAMMERED as car purchases drop like a rock. I think we have to do plan Silicon Dreams. The services target is just so much more viable.
Am changing my vote to take out the vote for Plan Bracing for Impact.
I know I haven't spoken about it, but I do recognize their importance. I just think that we are not in a position to push that frontier.
Services are badly neglected, we've been running the economy hot trying to prepare the industrial foundation for the oil shock, making up for our under-investment in oil production while getting Atomash ready, workers have savings they aren't able to spend, and we're about to slam face first into a mega-oil crisis.
We absolutely have to address the services gap. There's some synergy between services and LI, since microcomputers and calculators are likely to be a big part of the professional services expansion and the higher levels of microcomputer production are gated behind LI focus. A HI focus on the other hand would bring useful things, yes, but in our need to cool the economy, plus our incipient resource exhaustion, we can't really keep up with the demand for power production a HI focus would entail. Not without a more mature nuclear industry.
