HOW TO FIX THE ECONOMY!

It is glaringly obvious. The Erepublik team have failed us outstandingly. They have refused to stop and think about what they are doing and about to do. Their solution is to by hand, give out pissy donations to a few companies. Here is how you stop the game from self imploding:
1. STOP GIVING RAW MATERIALS TO EVERYONE: This doesn't help and you are wasting your time you could be wasting on a 'community gathering'.
2. REMOVE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RAW MATERIALS TEMPORARILY: Give the manufacturing industry a break. They are unable to do make anything due to the shortage of materials.
3. INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE RAW MATERIALS SECTORS TEMPORARILY: Let them build up stocks. Let the markets fill with raw materials.
4. IN 1 OR 2 WEEKS REINTRODUCE THE RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT BUT AT A FRACTION OF WHAT IT IS NOW: Having given the raw materials industry a chance to produce, there should be some items for sale on the market. The manufacturing industry can actually buy them now, but the industry wont be as strong as we'd like it, so for example a house requires 200 raw materials, make it only require 20.
5. WEEKLY INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RAW MATERIALS REQUIRED UNTIL IT REACHES NORMAL: As more and more people get into the raw materials industries, more and more materials will reach the market and this shortage of supply will be less of a problem. So houses require 40 wood now. Keep increasing weekly or whatever, until you reach the normal amount.
6. GRADUALLY DECREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE RAW MATERIALS INDUSTRY: Since we propped up the productivity of the raw materials industry in number 3, we can slowly decrease the productivity until it reaches the normal level.The key is to phase in your damn additions to this game. Abrupt economic changes throws everything into disarray, as we can CLEARLY see here.
Of course this will just be ignored, though.
If this changes or some similar modifications are not implemented, there will be a massive economic downfall. Although, the economy in time will return to normal, however a lot of people will get frustrated and leave, I bet.
Lepo Nex in the comment raises an excellent point. Companies that cannot provide work due to no money to pay employees, or lack of resources SHOULD NOT be displayed on the Human Resources list. Economic crisis or no crisis, I would like to see this modification made.

I agree with you.
Sorry to hear about your company Ziggyzag. Hopefully you'll be back in the manager seat soon.
Survival of the fittest
One of the fittest in Sweden has fallen. What now?
Voted!
Btw - admins again gave additional units of raw materials everyone :/
The most importent thing is to make the public to understand that they cant just switch companys in the same businees to get their salary.
They have to change to a raw material producing business.
The public is just changing from one food company to one other, hooping that just that company still have some raw materials.
Even tough admin gave the companys 1000 additional units, the same problem will come tomorrow and the day after the additonal 100 units.
People must understand that they cant stay in their jobs, there is simply no demand for them, due to the lack of raw materials supplies.
Some beatiful day people would understand this and fill in the job application to jobs at raw material producing companys.
Eventually the market will take care of it's own problems, there for "survival of the fittest"
Interesting.
Is it possible to stop employing people in those idustries that aren't working right at the moment?
If so, please stop getting more and more people joining your company that has either no raw materials or money. People try to switch between companies and get stuck, because they cannot leave again until 72 hours after accepting a new job.
I wasn't aware of all the problems because I could not login after the update. Then, I moved to another country and was a little too fast on finding a new job. Now I am stuck in a company that cannot produce anything, thus I don't earn any money momentarily. As soon as I can, I will be moving to the raw material industry.
So please employers, stop taking in people into your companies that don't work right! This is one of the major issues I have to say.

nothing less, nothing more
Agreed. Admin got to stop acting like nothing is happening and just giving out short-time-materials.
Sounds great! Voted!
After V1 had started, wasn't it so that every company was given raw materials? Shouldn't that give enough time for every GM to adjust to the new setting?
You didn't think, that's the problem. Don't blame admin.

What happened to all the resources they were given then Desdichado? They were used up!
I don't think you understand. This is exactly the economic crisis that we are talking about. There will be/is huge manufacturing and construction cut backs. When a General Manager is faced with not being able to produce products they adjust by firing everyone. This is EXACTLY what we are talking about.
This IS the problem and it IS the admin's fault. Maybe this is deliberate? maybe they didn't think it through (or at all)?
