Settlers is weird in some places - and I still haven't read most of it, just skipped around - like scoffing at college education as essential, but i think there is a lot of interesting stuff in there too

I’d be interested to see how these statistics have changed since 1980, along with additional ones like meat dairy and sugar consumption, plane rides, and international comparisons.
Honestly, to quote the great George Carlin, in reference to that Teamsters Union guy in Settlers.
"Another complaint: too many vehicles. There are some families in this country who own entirely too many vehicles. You see them on the highway in an rv but that’s not enough for them. The rv’s not enough. Behind them they’re towing a motorboat, go-cart, dune-buggy, dirt-bike, jet-ski, snowmobile, para-sail, hang-glider, windsurfing equipment, a hot air balloon, and a small two-man deep-sea diving-bell. Doesn’t anyone just take a fucking walk anymore? (Note: if only there were trains)The only thing these people lack is a lunar excursion module.'
