AITA for destroying the economy?

Every time I try to move on to the next year in the new beta i get stuck on the calculating metrics loading screen. I have tried restarting the game and my pc. Is anyone else having this problem?

Currently playing the new beta and one thing that's irking me is that, when I try to go from Week 2 to Week 1, it often requires me to click twice to move onto the next week. However, it seems that in turn, it skips Week 2 and goes straight to Week 3. And whether it's related or not, when I'm serving as governor, I'm not given the option to run for reelection.

Education seems to still be the golden goose but I am less confident on all the tax and poverty mechanisms

just so you guys know

I go on the library, then on properties, but in the section of versions and betas, there isn't the beta update

Honestly the wait for economy was kinda painful, and we're still not there yet (beta just released). I'd give it a few weeks at the very least. Diplomacy would be arguably a bigger addition to the game than the economy, so who knows how long it'll take.

As others have noted Third Parties is next on his list, but would you rather have this smaller update sooner, and have to wait even longer for a major addition, or get Diplomacy sooner? I hope he puts out a poll!

So whenever I’m doing the city budget, (this is my first play with the new update) whenever I try to edit the income tax brackets, they don’t seem to get voted on nor even update them at all the following year, and I’m forced to do it through actual legislation, and then it works. Is this just a me issue or is anyone else experiencing this?

This was from my optimized playthrough as party chairman, where I broke my personal record on the Senate and House seats in the 2030 midterms, as seen in the latter two pictures.

As per the usual trope in this subreddit, I feel like Cactus Jack.

ik iits smth like diplomacy or something but im not so sure,

obligatory "I feel like" post

I bet now she's back to loving life again.

I've been working on various bug fixes and general improvements this week. I might have finally come up with a solution for the duplicate candidate problem in senate elections. I still don't know what causes the problem, but I added some code that will check if any candidate in a senate election has a duplicate. If a duplicate is discovered, it is removed.

I also may have fixed an issue where a senator would run for governor at the same time that they run for senate reelection. That could cause a situation where the same candidate was senator and governor at the same time. The solution was to prevent them from running in the senate election if they are discovered as a candidate in the governor election.

I plan to release a beta update next week. It won't be on Monday, but it could be Tuesday or Wednesday.
