Bigtopians and civil rights

Does anyone know if bussing in Bigtopians to schools after their sit-in harms the economy at all. I wouldn't think so, but I've been taken by surprise before.

I doubt it.

Unless the submiter is strongly against affirmative action in business.

I really don't see how it could affect your economy, but you could always ask the writer of that issue.

There are some people virulently against AI, and if the submitter is one of them, then all freedoms would plunge.

Yes, if the writer is against AI with a deep and all-consuming passion, than I could see the possiblity for a drop. That's what the dismiss button is for thought. :D La Christiania is a young enough nation to be able to come back from an adverse economy issue. I say try it, see what happens. What's the worst that happens? A hit to the economy? You can bounce back.

Well I tried it, and absolutely nothing changed I'm happy to say. The only thing thats even remotely important is in the nation description:

"minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home"

Thanks for the advice everyone

I'd think if you were looking for a big civil rights drop, you could do a forced neighborhood integration (option 4).

I'm virulently against affirmative action, but still creating affirmative action I think it should only lower your civil freedoms and economic freedoms. I don't think it should have an effect on your political freedoms or your economic strength.
