| Message | I'm sorry, but having the economy be run by trade unions, even vital utilities such as energy, running water and waste disposal or vital transport industries such as airlines and railroads seems to be too risky. We would perfer more qualified aristocrats or gentry who specialize in trades to run the industries. -Dawud Al-Sini |
