With this perk no newspaper is delivered, and the calendar shows only the rent, mortgage and cartel markers. Prices still change.
Cosmetic news
Cosmetic news changes no prices and lasts 1 day. Each morning one is added until at least 2 events run. All Quiet In The Lower Levels fills an empty paper.
The cosmetic headlines: Scheduled Electrical Maintenance Work; Nutrifruit For All; How Much Meat Is Actually In PEAT; Recycling Awareness Campaign Launched; Local Artist Showcase; Brief Maintenance Crew Strike Ends; A Glimpse At The Future; New Transit Line Opens on Mid-Level; Decorative Water Fountain Unveiled; Lower Levels Community Garden Expanded; Mid-Level Art Contest Held; Cultural Celebration in Upper Levels; Routine Spacewalk Training Exercise.
A Shady Customer sells a tip for 50 Credits. It sets up one of these events and gives an Intel Slip that counts down to it.
With the Lower Levels reputation perk Word on the Street, each morning has a 4% chance to set up a random market event 2 to 3 days ahead, with an Intel Slip.
