Well the Bonuses you got certainly helped in that regard.
After all, Most of them got pushed over due to those roll bonuses.
Let it be known that we are the good guys, at least in this instant.
I mean, they played stupid games and they won stupid prizes. Like really, we're that badass, why are they considering betraying us a good idea?
Indeed!
They should know by now that Betraying Mercs are Merc'd
Indeed. Turns out, America rolled a nat one keeping the boys here, so they decided to go to the An cap capital of the world.
Us.
Let me put it to you this way.
We have enough oil to singlehandedly meet the world's oil demands, for the next century.
In the territory we have.
and that says nothing else with the studd that is not in our territroy.
Sorry, we can't design Design metal gears yet, we do not have the infurstructure yet.

A descendent of that horse actually.
Not yet at least!

We do have a infantry, and I'm guessing infantry combat is gonna be where merc skills shine brightest. Explosives (including bazookas) are a very good idea as far as letting our people handle engagements you just can't skill gap your way around, and armor is especially important with how few people we have. We can probably work on both, since "design a gun" is its own action.
As far as Metal Gears go, if the only issue is that we need better industry (presumably for bespoke parts to further our research) then we're going that way anyways. Can always buy metal, not sustainable for mass production but should be enough for research

Well, there is but one problem.
We can't really ship our oil out without a pipeline, stable neighbors that won't immediately start a war with us to claim the oil...
And we might decide to invest in other, diversification measures to make sure we are not relient on oil.
Problem is, we still need oil to pay the bills.
------------------
As for climate change... well there is another way we can make climate change go away?
After all, we can just decide to go down the mad science route?

I was thinking of just going insane like nanomachines son, or reforestation of the United States....
But that can work too.
Speaking of which, I learned something really interesting. Prior to the Colonization of America, DYK that a squirrel could cross the entire American continent without touching the ground, because of how heavily forested it was.
blew my mind when I learned that.

I'm all for mad science, but given that we're stuck in the past my inclination is that we're gonna have more need less luck going for regular science first?
If we can use our oil money to fund r&d for clean energy/fuel then we can transition away from oil power. Hell, we can still make some money off it in the form of refined products like plastics even after that (I know they're not exactly environmentally friendly either, but they seem less deleterious of the two).

Right now, I have something to say:
You're kinda running out of room to develop your industry, economy and infrastructure.
So mad science and possible Kowloon City like conditions may be expected coming soon to a desert near you.

I wanted to make a joke about hammerspace and impossible geometry, but it is too late here, and I can't be arsed to replace the rocketlauncher with a sky-scraper, so have the raw meme instead.

I mean at this point, we're going tobe building up, and somehow, build bunkers underground that can survive anything.I wanted to make a joke about hammerspace and impossible geometry, but it is too late here, and I can't be arsed to replace the rocketlauncher with a sky-scraper, so have the raw meme instead.

Yes.
No seriously, if you can get your mineral mining industry up and discover the right materials, you can set up your own chip fabs for the cheap... like say... 1 for every ten cents cheap if you roll well enough.
He would.
And remember, its both steves you have, not just Jobs.
