| Message | OOC: Technically, this is not about the minimum wage but about the basic benefits for the long-term unemployed. |

| Message | OOC: I am voting in favour because of Schalle's new course... limiting the amount of time very low-level state support (as I see the variable) is given is rather against her brand of social Hosianism. |

| Message | OOC: Then I don't see how the current law would work in practice. A Minimum Wage that's only provided for a certain amount of time? I'm sorry, but I really think this is the basic benefit, not a minimum wage. |
