History

Newport was laid out in 1858.[2]

gollark: You could complain that this is due to indoctrination of some sort by... someone, and maybe this is true (EDIT: but you could probably just change that and it would be easier than reworking the entire economy). But you can quite easily see examples of people just not actually caring about hardships far away, and I think this is a thing throughout history.
gollark: What I'm saying is that, despite some problems, our market system is pretty effective at making the things people involved in it want. And most people do not *actually* want to help people elsewhere much if it comes at cost to them.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Economy" means "any sort of system which coordinates production/allocates resources".
gollark: Now, part of that is probably that you can't really trust whoever is asking to use those resources properly, and that's fair. But there are now things for comparing the effectiveness of different charities and whatnot.
