| Message | We can understand Article 1, but I must ask: why remove phone service, and why in any circumstance but especially when we are in the middle of an economic crisis would you refuse to give subsidies and relief, the only thing keeping some sectors of our economy afloat? Volker Wittke VP Leader OOC: we passed an RP bill ages ago giving government special subsidy powers to subsidise anything affected by the economic crisis, would those powers still hold? |

| Message | OOC: classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=517429 It only applies to those hit badly by the economic crisis, so it's kind of a special measures bill. My guess would be that it stands, just that subsidies aren't otherwise provided? |

| Message | OOC: Yeah I'd say that still stands. |
