| Message | You wish to lower unemployment, yet at the same time increase the retirement age? This means that the oldies will be around longer to keep jobs away from the coming generation. :) Furthermore I'm still against article 2. |

| Message | true energy has been passed, I would not wait until the game moderators finally decide to make laws on water as well. Would you explain to your people that their jobs are taken away because there is no agreement on water ? |

| Message | I do not think maintaining article 2 will cost people their jobs. Articles 1 and 3 could be put forth in a separate bill; I'd support it. Meanwhile, I cannot support the current proposal as it is. |
