handle_market_event	We want to scale our trend so that if we're closer to our minimum or maximum price, we're more likely to trend the other way. Market events are a way to spice up the market and make it more interesting. Randomly one will occur to a random material, and it will change the price of that material more drastically, or reset it to a stable price. Events are also broadcast to the newscaster as a fun little fluff piece. Good way to tell some lore as well, or just make a joke.
handle_trends_and_price	Handles shifts in the cost of materials, and in what direction the material is most likely to move.
