| Message | not until it is decided what the procedures for deciding what nations are allowed to enter in the agreement. if, for example, reasonable minimum wage laws are not respected, then i will not want to enter in the agreement. as long as minimum wage and labor unions are respected, i will agree to it. |

| Message | I agree with the NFP. I do not believe that this would help Luthorian businesses. Cheaper goods are not good if it causes employment problems in Luthori. |

| Message | If the meeting to decide on the terms of the agreement does not go the way we would like (ie: they do not enforce minimum wage laws, union laws, environmental laws, and criminal slavery laws), we will fully support withdrawing ourselves from the bill. on, and apparently, the Autocratic Educational 'Libertarian' Parteh cannot differentiate between "better for the people" and "better for the people's wallets" apparently, breathing toxic fumes is OK as long as you got some extra cash out of it. |

| Message | there's a fine line between fair and logical regulation, and opressive and insane standards we will have them repealed eventually, had the technocratics voted, they stated their support for it, it would have passed |
