Imagine if we become a capitalist socialist utopia
Thats what the IT-Research Compound is slowly turning into. You already got a huge underground area, makes sense to make use of that.
It has five levels of around 12 km² excavated, with you only using two. There is room.How would that even work?
How big is this underground area? I'm not sure I've seen it described.
I imagine it's not large enough to build actual factories in (for electronics, motors, etc.)?
It has five levels of around 12 km² excavated, with you only using two. There is room.
Because, as it turns out, testing range requires space. Also, the scientists got bored and decided to dig because they could. The minerals were a bonus.
Its very much the latter. Ever seen a large underground mine?*Blinks*
Did Wei Cai find the fucking geofront?!
Oh, wait, the IT facility is probably just disguised as a room-and-pillar iron mine. It was probably even excavated with Iron Tiger based machinery.
Its very much the latter. Ever seen a large underground mine?
Pretty much that. Lotta space, lots of pillars.
...kinda like Moria, now that I think about it.
One thing I would like us to look into eventually, a new TV program that pokes fun at the absurdity of corporations in capitalist societies. Basically Dilbert but with a more Eastern name.
My inner writer and worldbuilder:Maybe a sitcom then? Or a mockumentary series? Or we can do a not-quite-adaptation of 1984: Capitalism Edition. Instead of Big Bro Gov, we can get megacorps ruling the world and filling everyone's life with colorful ads.
"Tired of all these ads? Purchase premium citizenship now and get rid of them! For the low, low price of $1,999.99. Monthly!"

What do you mean? They load fine for me?
On a meta level think of The Office only with extra back biting and bickering over who gets the big raise only for the show to reveal its 3 extra pennies day.Maybe a sitcom then?

Don't you mean week? I mean, a Whole Three Pennies per day more? That reeks of socialistic anarcho-communist heathen-think for me!
We work that line into episode. The winning worker thinks it's per day only for the btich from corporate to laugh in their face and say it's per week.Don't you mean week? I mean, a Whole Three Pennies per day more? That reeks of socialistic anarcho-communist heathen-think for me!
The Goose is Loose...Fool
For some reason puppet show is the first thing I have in my mind.A pointed critique of Japan's labour practices on the other hand....
Unironically true in the steel industry.
Z: It also hampers productivity, because cleaning up after a grisly accident is time not being spent making stuff.Oh yeah, we need to start OSHA so we stop losing skilled workers to industrial accidents.
Also, you know, people dying in industrial accidents is also bad... from an ethical standpoint.
Not to mention other problems...Z: It also hampers productivity, because cleaning up after a grisly accident is time not being spent making stuff.
Both serious and comedy ones?You guys wanna do some PSA skits instead? How to Conduct Oneself on the Factory Floor, How to Report Suspicious or Malicious Activities to the Authorities, How to Respond to a Workplace Incident…
Pretty sure we're not doing those yet. At least on TV.
