I got an event today, as hppens occasionally, but I am perplexed by this one.

Bumper crop
choice A: Burn the crops so as not to flood the market. Happiness -2, population income +$10.
choice B: Harvest crops. +2 Happiness, population income -$10
don't choose: +2 Happiness.

It seems doing nothing is better than choosing A or B. A would fit my nation if I thought it was beneficial, but it just appears to me to be better not to do anything.
+1 happiness without any other modifiers is +$2 population income. So, the options really are:
Option A: +$6 population income
Option B: -$6 population income
Do Nothing: +$4 population income

If you happen to have 5 banks, then doing nothing is slightly more beneficial than choosing the other options, since the income boost from banks applies to the income from happiness... so +$4 becomes +$5.40, and the options become (+$4.60, -$4.60, +5.40).
