Message | "If those on low income truly want a roof over their heads, friends, family and shelters exit, you know." ~Wade Kravant, Minister of Health and Social Services |

Message | Most low-income people do not have well-off friends with whom they can take shelter. And as for shelters... OOC: Many can't go there, and many would rather die! Perhaps if they'd rather die they'd better do it, and decrease the surplus population in a manner not involving any regulations or bureaucracy! |

Message | "This is a vindication of what we, the true Revolutionary Socialists, have been saying all along to our beloved Comrade-Chairman, compromise is not possible! We extend the olive branch of peace to these reactionary pigs, and in response they steal the branch, break it in half, burn it to ash, and for good measure stomp on the ash. We have bent over backwards to find a middle ground with these soulless counterrevolutionaries, and still they refuse to meet us halfway. The failure of this bill that is the end result of a long process of trying to find some reform favorable to the reactionaries speaks volumes about how much these people care about compromise. I say we take this as a sign to return to our fundamental principles, for Zardugal, for Socialism, for the People." -Iosef Bordeyev, Second Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
