| Message | Why not? DWC's are strategically intelligent investments, since workers never outsource their own jobs. |

| Message | And with the collapse of one of our largest industries recently, one which was NOT a DWC, it might well be time to start supporting an alternative system. |

| Message | My welcome to the UCA and their wise decision. The interference of socialist governments in the economy is unforgivable. And really, didn't you just make up that industry collapse? What next, an invasion? |

| Message | No, he didn't. There are small news briefs (random events) that come out every year and occasionally they'll involve Telamon. It was actually an ingenious ploy on his part to enter the game. I commend him on it. |
