Bill: LOWER Food Prices Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 3535
Description[?]:
We believe that in a FREE society, ANYONE should be free to sell food so as long as SHELF LIFE is preserved and regulated by the GOVERNMENT. If we allow ONLY "licensed food dealers" to have a MONOPOLY on food distribution, then they can RAISE the prices of that food thus making food MORE expensive to the working poor. |
Proposals

Old value:: The licensing of food sale is left for local governments to decide.
Current: Food may be sold by licensed vendors only, and shelf lives of foods are enforced.
Proposed: Anyone may sell food, but shelf lives of foods are enforced.

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
