| Message | Luigi Trafelli, AI Speaker for Finance, This bill should be renamed into the Inflation and Unemployment bill, as it will cause nothing but that, especially damaging for youths. And I have not even started talking about how people just keep sitting on welfare indefinitely and how rent prices will sky rocket. But go ahead, propose a "feel good" bill. Respectfully |

| Message | We commend the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health for bringing forward this legislation, which would be an important step in addressing the poverty and inequality that scars and shames our country - one of the most prosperous and advanced countries in Terra. We must do better than on this than we are at present, not only for our own citizens but for the rest of the globe, since many nations look to Istalia as an example and a world leader.

| Message | Luigi Trafelli, Outside of drastic GDP growth, drastic improvement in Gini coefficient, return of Badaran terrorists, removal of the Thallerists from Istalia, deterioration of the MRSF, many new Majatran Alliance members and many many more trade agreements. Yep, no successes. |
