In reality, bull sharks are capable of tolerating freshwater and have been found roughly 300 miles upstream of the river mouth. I guess the game went realistic but overwhelming lol

I hadn't even thought of that. I mostly go to local shops and conventions. Store owners will sometimes either trade or give store credit if I want to bring in healthy plants/fish (if the fish are in demand, not all fish are).

Assets are seized and sold off I would expect. If they own their house, depending on land value that could cover it for all five.

And I was noting that the USSR had a tendency to shift their ethnic populations around to wipe out (still don't understand how you took that term to mean anything other than killing local populations, it's "wipe out" as in "erase") other local ethnic populations. We saw the numbers increase until the USSR splintered and then fall off because there was no longer a system to support that shifting of ethnic populations. This crowd should know about it unless they only believe in or talk about the beneficial parts of communism and ignore the ugly parts that regularly get implemented.

I notice you're not going after OP for his vague title with picture, but I'm fair game.

To make it abundantly clear (which you can infer from the other chart posted in the thread), the population change was mostly non-Latvians entering before the USSR splintered and leaving afterwards. I made a reference to habits in that region of wiping out locals and replacing them with ethnic "russians" to rebut the vague sarcastic "the decline was after the USSR splintered so communism=good" title.

Was that clear enough?

I clearly had "moved populations around to wipe out ethnic locals" in my first post. I'm sorry if you can't understand that to mean that USSR was doing a genocide (killing) a lot of the enthic minorities and replacing them with their main ethnic group. It's one reason why Russia today keeps saying that countries adjacent to them (who were former USSR like Ukraine) are ethnically Russians and belong as part of the Russian state.

Kindly pick up some reading comprehension.

It takes time. You generally can't work on multiple major projects at once so when you have to schedule your time to advance in your career, you don't go for any offer just the one that offers the best benefit. Marvel didn't seem like a good enough benefit at the time.

My point was to ask for additional specific data that concerns population size/dynamics. Then I brought up a historical USSR/Russian empire move where they killed an ethnic minority population in a region and moved in "ethnic russians" to replace them for better comrade-ing.

How does emigration/immigration look during those periods? Remember how the USSR moved populations around to wipe out ethnic locals? Ukraine and Pepperidge Farms remember.

I said that some are but it seems cultures share a couple of them in common like not killing without cause. So in that system there are local morals and global/regional morals.
