There is a benefit to having a high resolve going in to a storm you can't keep positive resolve through. Preloading your unhappiest race into favorable jobs and food bonuses during late Clearance can stretch the leave countdown timer to where at least one fewer citizen leaves. This is most effective with Lizards, whose resolve declines more slowly. Don't wait until after the Storm starts to switch to a Lizard keeper if you are concerned you will need one.

My latest mechanic discovery is that merchants aren't on a fixed schedule but come more frequently based on your City Score, so you do have some ability to influence a trader to come just before a storm if it is marginal, and there is some justification to building or salvaging a service building you can neither staff nor supply.

I need to get out of the habit of shouting "racism time! woo racism!" whenever I hit the favor button to make some folks happy enough to gain resolve
"Consumption Control" is a euphemism for explicitly racist sumptuary laws. These are considered core elements of an efficient society.

I think starving is just a (stacking) penalty to resolve.
