| Message | What? If the people are unsatified with their job, and with the experiance they have, they can find a better job, thus causing the company they had work for to lose production over a few Kafar per hour, and some better health benefits. |

| Message | ...Lack of money and experience. Don't say go to the bank for a loan, either, for if you don't have enough money you may have a bad credit history or not be able to pull yourself out of such debt. Those born behind in the financial lines are stuck behind for a majority of their life no matter their actions in a free-market society. |
