Description[?]:
| Shouldn't this be self evident? We cannot afford to let anyone cheat anyone else into slavery. Imagine, if you would, the entire oil industry being owned by one person. Just visualize the ability to charge whatever you want without impunity. For the Latin Citizens of Aloria, we deal with this every day due to the cotton industry. The impoverished members of our Latin citizens deal with this total power over our heads, and in the Northern Providences, the local governments make sure we live in the worst possible conditions. Daily, the farms have to deal with a problem known as "miasma" This miasma is a highly dense mist filled to the brim with malaria ridden mosquitoes. They are contractually forced to work in these conditions without hazard pay. |
