| Message | May I ask what objections the SSD and the supposedly capitalist People Party may have? |
| Date | 03:12:07, February 27, 2008 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the The Private Sector |
| Message | This bill seeks to force employers to give all employees a wage of a fixed minimum amount. This will lead to employers laying off employees that they can no longer afford. |

| Message | We need a minimum wage. If the SSD's objections were correct, the unemployment in Malivia before the minimum wage was abolished would have been very high, which it wasn't. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
