Hey you know what might help with the writing process?
From what I've seen, Sparts recruit entirely by harassing other trot groups and hoping one or two of those groups' trot-est members go "maybe these Spart guys are onto something". Seems crazy to me but I don't have a better fucking plan so I can't judge too harshly.
Exactly, they can't outcompete China while also basing the economy on layers and layers unproductive parasitism. The problem is, they also can't win a war against China for the same reason, and I think a good number of them realize that.
By some estimates they've killed 1/4 of the population by now; the grim reality is they can just continue doing what they're doing for another few years and the genocide will be complete. It's up to the rest of the region, and the world, to find a way to stop things before it gets to that point. The pressure is definitely having an impact but there's still so many different outcomes possible, everything from total genocide to a wave of revolutions in the region to world war 3, and more that none of us have thought of.
How feasible would it be to stay in say Newark and take public transportation to NYC?
Very doable, I've done it before (but not recently, so can't comment on prices) However be aware that the traffic chaos surrounding New York is probably even worse than in the city proper.

Just move to a different house with different lead pipes every few years, to reset the timer
Pauper is my favorite, so much room to brew and such a wide open metagame. Even though there's a huge card pool, new sets still often shift the meta enough to keep things fresh, without totally nuking the format like Modern.
It's a powerful format but without a lot of individually powerful cards, so you see a lot of unusual and kind of janky synergies you don't really see anywhere else.
A competitive deck costs as much as one shockland so you can put something together on a whim and experiment.
I mostly play dimir terror, but also have pestilence, elves, and orzhov blade decks I'm kind of iterating on.
Pioneer is also pretty good. And I play commander, like everyone, but I've been less interested in it lately.
