Tempting, extremely tempting, but bugs are un-genocidable since there’s so many and if we did succeed it would probably cause like a butterfly effect of reactions haha

WA Endotarting Initiative - 2022 Edition

[spoiler=Not sure what WA Endotarting is or need a quick refresher? Click here to find out!]"WA Endotarting is the process in which WA Members make an effort to endorse one another to help themselves gain influence faster, help the region gain a higher Regional Power faster (we're currently a High Regional Power), and help increase our worldwide regional influence statistic! Residents who complete this program and endorse all the WA Members on the list will get a mention on every new edition of The Social Reformer (making a comeback very soon)! If you're interested in partaking in the program, endorse all the nations on the list and contact Yodle via Telegram or through our Discord Server, and he will add your name to the nations who have completed this program and allow you to be eligible for the incentives which completing the program grants (more incentives to come)! Make sure to check the list at least once a week to stay up to date on any new WA Members added to it!"[/spoiler]

First End-of-Week Report

1/1/22-1/16/22

Today marks the start of our first week with the fully updated 2022 Edition of our WA Endotarting Initiative. I am going to count January 1st, 2022, up until January 16th, 2022 as the first full "week" of the new iteration of this program. You may notice that the page is simply an edited version of the 2021 Edition; this is purely for convenience sake so that I don't have to redo all of the links to it in every factbook. If you weren't able to get a medal this time around, or simply want a higher level medal, just make sure you complete all of the endorsements when you get a chance and you will receive your desired medal in the next End-of-Week Report! :D Without further ado, here are the Medalists:

Gold Medalists

More than 90% of WA Members Endorsed

Former Argentina

Mars Hotel

New United Common-Lands

The Washington Federation

Vlaskal

Yodle

Our six Gold Medalists were individuals who, despite it being four months since the last update to the Initiative, have gone above and beyond to keep up with endorsing most, if not all, new WA Members that have joined our ranks. Huge shoutout to these individuals for their consistent and reliable effort to keep our region growing stronger! Given the low number of WA Members currently present in the region, this medal should only take about 15 minutes to achieve by simply endorsing everyone on the list in the dispatch below :3

Silver Medalists

Between 75% and 90% of WA Members Endorsed

[nation=noflag]Asturii[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Partisan Italy[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Socialistic Britain[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Tarao[/nation]

Consisting primarily of former Gold Medalists, the individuals in this category are on average about ten endorsements away from getting close to or full completion. With a quick check of the Initiative WA Member list every week, the Gold Medal is completely within reach! Every endorsement counts to building up our region's influence, so staying on top of the evolving Member List is super important :D

Bronze Medalists

Between 50% and 75% of WA Members Endorsed

[nation=noflag]Chivka[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Greater Drussi[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Lkandria[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Lotarmy[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Plattland[/nation]

[nation=noflag]Santu Surgo[/nation]

[nation=noflag]United Lovervyche[/nation]

For one of the first times ever, the Bronze Medalists hold the largest share this week. This is mainly due to my lack of updating the 2021 Edition on a regularly consistent basis, but that's alright since we've got it all up to date now! With a small time investment, all of our Bronze Medalists can easily transfer that over to a Gold Medal for next week! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------

Below I will link to the Endotarting Initiative so that anyone who hasn't already participated or simply needs to catch up on new endorsements, can have direct access straight from this Report :3

You got it! Thank you very much :) thanks to everyone else here too for being very welcoming! In Islam, loans with interest are actually forbidden, interest or any other form of usury are banned and that is very strictly forbidden. Therefore, no "big banks" are actually even permitted in the first place, private banking and the finance industry are no go's lol just a fun fact there

Also to any other Americans here, anyone heard of the Movement for a People's Party, and if so, thoughts on it? I've been involved for a few months with em now

Biden aka the result of 40 something years of "lesser evilism". That's pretty much my take on it, voting for the "lesser of two evils" doesn't mean you're voting for someone good, and it constantly lowers the bar until the Democrats literally just start running on the "well at least we aren't the other side!" platform.

Thats all true, Biden seems to have not done much, he has done a few leftist policies, and has reverted some radical Trumpist policies, but he seems to have been a centrist president. Although again, even if Biden tried to make a progressive agenda, far-right Republicans would just slap a filibuster.

According to PolitiFact, out of Biden’s 86 major campaign promises, he hasn’t fully broken any of them, but he also only completed 16. He compromised on 3 promises, he stalled 24 promises, and 46 promises are “in the works” (being considered, are in the process of being done, or attempted).

Yeah, I am just generally disappointed in the Democratic Party lol like it is still marginally better to have them in office than the Republicans, of course, and I am very anti-Trump, but the American political system is quite compromised by corporate power. Hopefully things will progress in a positive way, but I am not too much of an optimist to be entirely honest lol
