I had to have learned about the costs of retooling machines before I was 20. I definitely knew MOVING a multi-ton delicate machine would cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I knew that it would all take time and money to buy/build and train workers, and to spin up, and to rework logistic lines by like 25. How the fuck do people who don’t know/care about “basic economics” get to the positions they do. I feel like I could run America’s capitalist economy better and I can barely organize a factory in satisfactory.
I felt this same way when people said “running an economy in victoria 2 is hard”. Literally don’t do tariffs above 10% ever, build basic needs buildings, and you’ll be fine 90% of the time. The other 10% will be because of engerland messing something up. Even in vic3, I could run Qing better even if I lost to GB, and I would be in an actual debt spiral. Like how tf does a dumb compsci nerd like me understand how to run a state better then all of these baboons. They have to be high on their own ideology.
