Message	This bill is created to increase the employment rate of Telamon. I've been looking at the unemployment rates in Telamon and the numbers are appalling. Our worse region, Antepec, is rated 246th out of the 284 recorded regions in all of Terra, with a 9.36% of the people between 18-65 unemployed. For the sake of the people, I ask all of you to vote for this bill when it is up for voting.

Message	more train companies will not result in many more jobs created, they will take business from eachother, and will result in very little employment change, and would affect millions of people negatively.

To	Debating the Private Train Operating Companies Bill
Message	More train companies means more competition, which is overall a good thing because it will bring down the cost for the commuter. Competition will also force the companies to do their best. As of now the government owns the whole train industry, there is no competition and therefore the government does not care how it is run or how efficient it is and can up the price whenever they want.

To	Debating the Private Train Operating Companies Bill
Message	the government ensures prices are kept as low as possible while ensuring good service, therefore the competition argument is unneccesary.
