Oaty, I don't have the game in front of me so I can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure this is only the case AFTER a rebellion has occured, right?

So, for example, you enter a region capital, and the peasant happiness level is stuck at -22 or something ridiculous, even with your full stack garrisoned. Let's say if you exempt it, it drops to -15 or so, still high enough that you're going to have a rebellion on hand in 2 turns.

Won't you have at least one turn could collect taxes before your workers go on strike?
