  4. Transportation (at least public transportation across the country)

For the purpose of this market, we'll consider US citizens.

A market ending in 2081? I'll have to outlive Jimmy Carter. Not sure I should bet on this. Can my grandchildren inherit my mana?

@GazDownright should ask moderators but I'll support this 😂😂

Btw, I think betting on long-term markets is encouraged and manifold has a way to borrow mana and return it after the market ends (so that you don't have to waste your liquidity on it)

@SimoneRomeo Yeah, spamming Get Loan every day

@GazDownright anyway, don't worry they will resolve in 11 months, just wait for it

@SimoneRomeo I'm on the edge of my seat! 😄

Btw, have you looked closer at the wording "basic needs?" According to the current paradigm, employment is found in the tier just above the physiological needs (food, water, clothing and sleep). The resolutiom criteria are fine, but I feel they are somewhat at odds with the term "basic needs" in the market title. My two cents.

@GazDownright you have a point. Any suggestions on how to phrase it better?

@SimoneRomeo Here's me, offering feedback without solutions. 🙃

How about the classic "... to make a living?"

@GazDownright approved! Thanks Gaz

I'm thinking of this under a "conditional on everything turning out fine (no apocalypse)" stipulation.
