I hate to say it, but there's some truth in that statement.
I've read the logs of Congress members spouting crap at Lyth on Skype (of course JT usually tries to control it, props to him), not to mention the communications between .:j:. and JM|- on the forums being filled with more salt than a dish from PF Chang's.
Now, with Snak3's statistics, it shows you spend 18% of (formerly 36 days) of activity sitting inside your private, locked down Guard System. Imagine it as [LN] sitting in Virginia for 18% of their activity, or GMG for their whatever system. Come on now, that's ridiculous. You interact with nobody even remotely neutral, only Junkers who don't get blasted by the base.
Also, don't even make me start on the salt.
There's enough salt to power a small African village.
