If I Were a Dev

How would you design your economy?

JOE: Around a fishing-based skillset, with heavy emphasis on fines for overfishing and destruction of protected waterways.

DREW: I would go for more of a Hayek-based economy, because I think the Austrian school really knows their stuff. The laissez-faire approach to a fishing economy can work well, despite the overfishing, because the consumer should be more ethical.

 

Don’t forget about the bloopers! And a very happy April Fools to everyone…
