| Message | So a disabled person who be allowed to suffer because they cannot get a job? So a person looking after a sick relitive should be forced to live in poverty because they cannot get a job? So if there is no job in anywhere nearby, the person who wants a job but cant get it should have to turn to crime (and get shot by your police supposingly) because they have no money? Then there are the familes of these people, dependents they need to look after. This will increase Poverty and Crime in Darnussia, there are no positives to this |
