Boycott TNT: opposition company whitelist [UPATED Nov. 2]
Ealb
Given the recent corruption carried out by TNT, the idea of boycotting their companies has been broached, and deemed a useful idea by a number of opposition representatives. To this end, an opposition (and government, which are ironically currently unsubsidized) corporation whitelist shall be compiled. If you feel you should be on the list, comment here; if you are determined to be unfunded by TNT skulduggery, you will be added. Whitelisting is available to any company foreign or domestic who wishes to demonstrate their non-affiliation with TNT.
If at all possible, only work for or buy from verified non-TNT companies.
The following eThai companies have been verified as having no links to TNT - listed foreign companies have been verified as unrelated to TNT to the satisfaction of the boycotting community:

Organic Wood Thailand
olooc eim!
Moving tickets aren't an especially massive concern at the moment. Once we get control back we can send someone to a diamond country to set up an export setup to supply our good gift companies.
Sprechen zie english.
this is a good idea
if all the opposition stays clear of the TNT companies, the TNT will leave the country
Internet is serious business.
no, we are just going to export. 😁
olooc eim = not deutsch. l33t message from "Ô louco, hein" something like "Wow".
By the way, let's do this.
Voted and noted. 😉
Have fun with that, Antonio. We're going to do our best to starve you of labor, too.
well so you have a total fail, because i have enough money to survive and i have people that are interested in keeping me alive.
I would encourage people to pull all gold offers off the market. I do enjoy Antonio how you aren't even denying that you basically stole and cheated. Good times.
This is a selfish move, do you guys have place to the workers of that companies? Where will they work? Where WILL I WORK?
We are trying to get people to work on eThai for what? To see this kind of stuff?
Totally Shame.
Lorenzo, the flip of that question is:
Does Thailand support corruption? Does it support theft? Should we encourage and support theft?
An answer to your question. There are plenty of companies to work for.
As for that, people see eThailand as a joke because the corruption that has historically gone on, corruption that even Rockman acknowledged. Supporting Rockman and those that support him continues that trend and supports that image.
In the end, we all get to live with the shame.
Excelent idea.
Lorenzo, i am a man of the people, who needs money will get it. If you need something just ask. Me, rockman, and other TNT members listed in other article, we are heroes! We will help the poor, and if something happens to us, that is almost impossible, you can say that we are martyrs!
Through lieing, theft and graft. Look at the other prospoerous countries in eRepublik and look at where eThailand is. That strategy really gets one no where.
Yes, Rockman et al. are martyrs, martyrs from a horrible time that hopefully will be of the past.
thai will grown up, it will become very huge country, first to burn will be pakistan, then indonesia, the others fates will be decided
Thailand had 2 months to grow.. I didn't see any growth (except corruption grow, this one grew a lot) in this period.
Ahhh Antonio, you decided to live under a bridge too.
Lorenzo:
You may feel this is a selfish move... what about stealing 100k THB from the national treasury and distributing it to your party members and their companies? Is that unselfish? Should it go unpunished?
What should we do in these circumstances to be unselfish? Lie down and silently take more of such abuse?
Frankly, non-TNT companies have never been able to compete with TNT companies because TNT companies offered inflated wages and low prices directly as a consequence of their government underwriting. Period, full stop. Even now, until the end of Rockman's term, we'll risk supporting them just by working for other companies and buying food from other companies. The only way we can hope to see non-TNT businesses stay afloat is by consciously choosing not to work for these companies, even if it means lower wages, and choosing to buy non-TNT products, even if it means higher prices. This isn't selfishness; it's self-preservation.
Very good Article Ealb, VOTED!
Oh and I love how NOW they propose to export when members of the opposition have saying that forever.
With all the respect. Why isn't my company on the whitelist 🙁
Because your purple.
Because you're a foreign company. The whitelist is meant to denote eThai companies that are unaffiliated with TNT.
Though frankly, if the choice is between supporting a foreign company, and one of the TNT companies... I'd suggest supporting the foreign company; while either will do equally little for eThai development, the foreign company at least would not represent a force actively trying to sabotage us.
Ealb, I am making THB in Thailand. And there is only one place I can spend those THB. And thats in Thailand. So "because you're a foreign company" isnt realy a good argument 🙁
Actually, it is. What you will spend that baht on is Gold, which you will then take back with you to the eNetherlands. We need that Gold to stay in eThailand if we want our industries to develop, so by preference we should do business with eThai companies as much as possible. Though again, I concede that under the present circumstances I'd feel better seeing foreign companies getting custom over TNT-run companies.
Additionally... it' prohibitively difficult for me to ascertain if a foreign company is or is not a TNT operation. This probably sounds paranoid, but we have every reason to believe that Czech Hospital was a TNT company located overseas. Given that the very raison d'être of this list is performing such a vetting... it doesn't make sense to add foreign companies unless we can vet them as well. Which we pretty much can't.
HOWEVER. I again add that I personally support buying foreign over buying TNT. The hierarchy of preference is "domestic whitelisted" -> "foreign" -> "domestic unlisted" -> "confirmed TNT".
Another great report.
Thanks, Ealb
A very bad move Ealb, there are people working in these companies that have nothing to do qith the recent happenings, I would think twice before boycotting.
Maximus:
You forget one thing, though: after the recent robbery, the TNT companies have enough money with which to pay employees their inflated salaries for quite some time even if they never sell one more product. I see no reason to fear them going broke or being unable to pay wages.
Ealb, thanks for the list.
Well, it's not as if there are a shortage of other companies to work for. If people want to continue to work for companies which have benefitted from corruption, that's their prerogative. In fact, it's going to be hard for us to compete with TNT companies wage-wise, given the massive amount of cash they received up front in the hospital deal. Those companies can offer large starting salaries which we cannot, and they can operate at a loss and try to drive the rest of us out of business. They don't even need customers to survive. Therefore, the rest of us, who still need to buy and sell goods, will just use our own economy. If people want to come work within the honest economy, they're free to do so.
SO_neederland because this american guys are trying to take over, they are xenophobics, if you wanna any help just contact me via PM
We're not trying to take over, and we're not all American. On the other hand, your party announced that is IS trying to take over, start unnecessary wars, steal the gold of others through taxes and redistribute it to your own companies, and more. We're trying to create a stable internal economy before allowing graft and too many imports.
You're worse than George W. Bush and his greed, incompetence, corruption, and handouts to corporate fatcats. (Oh yes, I did just go there.)
I realy doesn't have to do anything with that TNT guy. I am just selling grain. And it is benefitting u guys too. Low grain prices made low food prices. And I am not buying gold with the THB. Thats because 180 THB = 1 GOLD. That is just to much.
I am buying wood with it and donating it to dutch people when I am recieving some NLG for it.
So I doesn't see a reason to boycot me.
SO_Neererland, just out of interest which compnies are you buying wood from? It might make a differenace. especially if you can prove it.
what about OCT Foods? Is it whitelisted?
If I remember correctly Oct Foods recieved some of the fraudulant funds
The counter ploy is to simply raises taxes on all industries, except for the ones that they are making a profit on. We functioned under that once, we can again for a little while, not the end of the world.
@SO_Neerlan😛 I can appreciate your opinion, at the same time supporting companies not on that white list is supporting corruption in eThailand
OCT Foods is certainly not whitelisted. It is a company held by the primary TNT OS, which received more stolen baht than any other entity (30000 TH😎.
I am aware this means no Q3 Food until we see an opposition company hit Q3. I believe CHARMIN ULTRA is looking to do so, however.
SO_Neerland, I do appreciate what you're saying.
However, you're not being actively boycotted. You do not appear to be a TNT organ, but this is unverifiable, and you're not domestic. So you'll not go on the whitelist. You'll not be denounced, nor will we actively encourage people to avoid giving you custom, but you're still not going on the whitelist.
Though I'll confess if you're buying Wood from Antonio's Q1 Wood company, I would be less inclined to be open and welcoming towards you, as that fine soul was the recipient of fully 1/5 of all funds looted from the eThai treasury.
Great 😃
Better stop with that.
I am a nice guy. I warned ...
Ealb if you're making a whitelist. All others are basacly belongin on the blacklist. So I am supposed on the blacklist?
If im on whitelist I am buying from whitelist company's. If im not im buying from all company's :/ that realy shouln't be the way I guess.
Well, in order to keep this list public/in the media, it's going to have to be published every 2 days. Maybe the next round can include a "greylist" of foreign, probably non-TNT companies? (It would help if SO accounts posting here could link to the forum that has their SO posting, or say who they are controlled by.)
Closed Company Rulez,buy Closed Products always 😁.Don't buy from TNT members Company!!
There is a third way. Contact the 5 companies on the whitelist. You're already talking to one of them; talk to the others. Get them to agree to consider your product, and agree to boycott TNT companies.
Yeah, Kat, I did consider the greylist idea. It's one way to go.
Raw material companies have few enough buyers they can also pursue private arrangements.
@Rockman
If you really were a nice guy, you wouldn't be trying to threaten us as you do here.
But if they are giving the reason... ur not on the whitelist. I am blaming you! Because I still dont understand why I woulnt be on the whitelist. I am giving u guys low food prices. That costed me 20 GOLD. And dont forget. I am not making huge profits here. And I must get those THB too NLG...
And how would Thailand wants in PEACE if they doesn't like forgeign PEACE company's?
we are paranoid
forgive us if we are not easy to trust
ive been sending letters all morning to workers who are employed by SO thai elite companies and are not affiliated with the TNT
we have to be vigilant and make sure anywhere we go to buy food, gifts, weapons, or houses must be corruption free, otherwise the TNT will continue raping this country of its treasury and keep the people in a desperate situation.
