The government has created a Department of Speculation which exploits the international capitalist system for the good of the people.
Also, I passed Subsidisation of Research Act. I don't recommend doing it if you're interested in your stats. It doesn't seem to have any positive effects, it just lowers average income a bit, doesn't even increase literacy.
However, I suspect there's a chance that it'll pull the unemployment percentage threshold a bit down for when autofounding companies, which ofc wouldn't be a visible statistic there, but that's just a guess.
