Description[?]:
| With the absurd minimum wage regulations of today, honest taskmasters such as myself are forced to smuggle Yodukani menservants in under the border! Let us put a reasonable minimum wage into affect, so that out-of-work Beluzians can pick up the slack in a labour market presently asphyxiated by Red tape. Get off your ass and do an honest days work like the old folks do! We work until we die. Existence without work isn't life, it is meerly death postponed! |
