@Glaukopos@mil90485@LavenderGhast Civilians. There is a scene in the book where the merchant class pick a fight with the MI at a bar because they are envious of them, and that their own guild isn’t considered federal service. They are the ones who support the military.
@mil90485@LavenderGhast You had to enlist for federal service. It was all military. You got assigned based on needs and your capabilities. You could be a pilot, an MI, or maybe a test subject for the research division. If you voluntarily risk your life for the federation you were worthy to vote.
@Maroye@profholden Soooooooo people are incentivised to continue burning petrol at the same rate when supply has dropped and everyone is concerned of running out. Hmmmmm 🤔
@LordRedfern@hot_rails Only if they also cut spending. Which they won’t. They’ll either have to raise taxes later to make up the shortfall or increase borrowing. Wonder which one they’ll pick…
