| Message | ooc: I do it all the time. ic: I'd go for the trade unions becoming illegal. If proposed seperate, I'd go for it but the rest of the bill here the FAP we can't argee. On the article about "Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations", we believe the current law explains a bit more in how the government is actually providing subsidies to failing industries. The proposed law would have the national govt. bailing out every company that is going to become bankrupt while the actual law just provides assistance to vital industries (energy, water, train etc) rather than just everyone. |
