I experience Bliss deficits quite often. Those super-gifts are nice to remedy that. I am -50 across the board.

I have given up trying to get out of my energy deficit. I surge Bliss all the time.
I can't see why; it'd only take you about 1600 surges, or 400 cycles (assuming 1 surge each cycle goes to Bliss) to catch up. C'mon, you *wanted* to spend the next two months catching up to your population, right? No, wait, long before that you'll be able to jump levels, and get more energy from your reactors. Another couple of days.

Hmmm. I wonder what happens if you leave it alone for a while. Obviously, your bliss loss would be immense, and that costs bucks... but I don't know that it costs pop or food. So maybe letting it sit around would let bucks and bliss drop to zero (level up & grab some allies first, so you're not losing too much) without other bad effects. And when you wanted to pick it back up, a boost of 50M bucks/cycle isn't a bad kickstarter.
