Bullshit game design
Look at this ridiculousness. Half the town's on fire, the other half is covered in nuclear fallout. What's the biggest issue on the survivors' minds? The fact that taxes are at 20%. Not from the perspective of "Hey, tax the rich more to fix this mess" or anything like that but generic "MuH TaXEs ArE tOO HiGh!!" What kind of bullshit right-wing ideology leads you to develop a system this ridiculously bad?

And the inverse: No police stations? Then there must be a lot of crime then!
