The red states are going to be at a huge economic advantage after this right, bc they're heartless enough to just dismiss the corpse piles but a blue state would break down if you tried to speedrun

It'll be easier for the Republic of Cascadia and the Great Lakes Union to overwhelm the Dominion of Dixie in this scenario. Not sure where the New California Republic sits in all this. Probably at zero manpower.

Wait. Wrong thread. Hearts of Iron is that way.

:downs: this quirk is exactly the same as a full military occupation. Keep on going though because I know you are about to launch into a tirade about how North Korea has literally done nothing wrong or whatever.

a country not having control of their own military during the war they are most likely to participate in is not a quirk

the US military literally had a base in the middle of downtown Seoul until 2 years ago

I'm not saying it's an Iraq style occupation, but the US is a dominant power over South Korea and that domination is in large part military.

people waving US flags literally came out in Seoul to protest the government there implementing social distancing

Because we can.


“It’s been six months since the COVID-19 vaccination ended the two-year pandemic. Now as wards sit empty, a consortium of hospitals is suing the Chinese government for ’premature discontinuation’ of their must profitable customers.”

That's one of the reasons I fled Texas, yes. Meanwhile, last I heard from my chud uncle is that it's too hot in Houston for the virus to live and he needed to go to the gun range and get some practice in because all these "idiots" buying guns don't know how to use them.

I work as a contractor for a big tech company out here in the seattle area. my office is on the east side so not walkable at all and would require two buses to get to since I don’t have a car. because of some technical reasons I don’t fully understand, I need to connect my computer to the big tech company’s WiFi once a month or I lose trust and get locked out of application/documents that I need to do my job. I technically could request VPN access but for some reason my sponsor is super against that and my boss is telling me and my team to not do that. they were going to get us non-domaines laptops as an alternative but apparently they aren’t able to due to shortages now. they say we have to go in to the office and connect.

wtf do I do? rent a Zipcar and hope no one was spreading the corona in it before me? ride the bus? is it even legal to tell me to come in for this reason right now?

eh the blue states have large enough populations to absorb the losses and are economically diversified enough to avoid having make-or-break sectors with outsized exposure to a pandemic risk

red states often have larger disabled/retired populations, a larger dependence on regressive taxes like sales taxes, a bunch of long term obligations ('incentives' to get factories built for example) to businesses, disproportionate reliance on sectors that are really badly exposed to externalities like tourism and petroleum, etc
