[00:22:27] <exec> 08└─Yeah, the pricing tiers and reservations are a bit confusing. There are two types of reservations (refundable and non-refundable) and an option to sign a biding commitment for any non-refundable reservation holder, so the pricing options are a matrix that looks like this: +-------------------------...

In reality, society is, of necessity, going to be significantly (gasp!) socialist. I mean, that's kinda the whole point of society, to be social, no?
