Yeah, but if you're doing a challenge/virgin run, you might not have the time or money to deal with the nerds, and that lost income can hurt.Oh my, thanks, I didn't noticed that, I usually just get rid of them, when I can...
I don't do runs like that, but even then it's usually a bother because I can't choose the "submit to nerds" option until I have the passive, and until then I'm losing a lot of income.
