Issue 490 is one that I also have mixed feelings about, but I keep choosing option 1, which sort of acts as a "reset" or a corrective for how I tend to otherwise answer issues. Granted many things are affected only slightly or not at all, but other things show very clearly each instance of getting Issue 490, and the fact that each time, I answer with option 1 and then dismiss the follow-up issue:

Disposable Income: nation=ruinenlust/detail=trend?censusid=85

Government Size: nation=ruinenlust/detail=trend?censusid=27

Edumacation: nation=ruinenlust/detail=trend?censusid=75

Taxation: nation=ruinenlust/detail=trend?censusid=49

I wish that it were more nuanced, where you could pick certain sectors to gut and others to retain. I'd love to keep the Education and Health Care, as well as the environmental programs, but let the other things fall down a bit.

And as always, the bane of my existence: Civil Rights, which is always on the verge of collapse despite my constant, frustrated efforts to raise it: nation=ruinenlust/detail=trend?censusid=0

You guys have to be literally kidding me! #490 is my absolute favourite issue and I always pick that option then double down on it in the follow-up.

I think of this as periodically clearing out all the pointless initiatives governments adopt so as to be seen to be doing something even though they obviously won't work.

Exactly my feeling! Hear, hear! :-)
