Loftedraptor goes "Ballistic!"

Dear Fellow EUSA Citizens,
Even a one eyed baboon can see the EUSA has gone to Hell in a hand-basket this month. The economy is a disaster for most companies in both sectors, raw materials and manufactured goods. The only exception to this seems to be food, which has gone up substantially. Very likely many in the food industry own several other companies which are taking a beating, so the extra profits are meeting payroll expenses elsewhere.
I pity the poor new citizen working for $1 a day trying to make ends meet when q1 food costs a
minimum of $1.79, that is if he or she is lucky enough to have a job in the first place. In case you missed it, word went out over shout several times this month that there were no level zero noob jobs.
Now that must really suck, Join a wonderful new game, follow all the instructions, go
to human resources and be met with no jobs you can apply for... .
WELCOME TO LIMBO LAND NOOB!
Fortunately, many of us greedy, profiteering company owners pitched in and created a bunch of zero level jobs. I created about 20+ jobs and a new company to boot. At least one guy created about a 100, very commendable, as I see things.
We need to do something and do it fast. I don't know about you, but I don't think I can handle
another month of this without going broke.I do not know how much to blame the Current
Administration for all that has happened this month, I do know it happened on their watch and I do not wish to see it happen again this coming month. It is time for change, It is time to see new faces in Washington.
I urge you to vote for change. Lets give two of the most capable men in the EUSA a try at fixing this mess.
Please Vote for Uncle Sam and Joe DaSmoe
Respectfully submitted,

Your endorsement is appreciated my friend. Thank you.
No! Thank you and Uncle Sam for standing up and giving us a chance to get out of this mess!
I wish there were better candidates. I am not voting for Justinious because he has done a terrible job and not only did he not live up to his reputation, but he did absolutely nothing but make poor decisions this month. However, Uncle Sam should have chosen a better VP candidate and openly admitted he did not know much about the military and would leave it all to Shafer, who is gone. So pretty much we have an above average economic candidate, vs an economic genius candidate who has done nothing. Maybe i will move to eUK.
I am a recent and still am growing out of my nooberty, and I just transferred finally to a proper skill level job and am earning a crapola salary. The game is really slow to build in interest, but I see its potential So I definitely feel what you're talking about. Thanks to anyone who has seen fit to create low skill level jobs. After buying today's lunch, I have $1.94 to my name.
Observations (from a guy who is still learning, but has been getting involved in comments and studying the forums):
1. eRepublik is advertising lately on other US/English websites (that's how I found it), and I think we're seeing a population boom. We're going to need to continue to create low skill jobs and social advancement, or risk being left populated with empty, dying accounts of people who have lost interest in the game.
2. I'm still trying to understand the game's complex economic models, but it seems like the government could take steps to help redistribute wealth downward toward newbies. You can call that scary evil SOCIALISM, but I would call it making the game more initially fun for a larger number of new players. Wouldn't raising the citizen fee or minimum wage help turn us peons into better consumers? The big (Top 100) ranked players would effectively have to transfer dollars into the economy, but it would be a fairer in a distributionist sense. (Possibly inflationary, though).
3. From all accounts I have read, Justinious is only to blame for the Fed Crisis to the same extent that his predecessors were, who also failed to change the email account. And the economic woes result from a congress that doesn't seem to have a coherent sense of what to do with fiscal policy. I am not a committed partisan, but if I attain Level 6 suffrage by 2/5, I will vote for him.
Dru, citizen fee would be better than a minimum wage hike. A higher min wage would mean fewer jobs for skill 0 players.
You can pity the player making $1 a day. But they'll only make that for 2 days. And the citizen fee covers them food wise until they get to that skill 1 job.
You can blame Justin, but its only because it happened during his presidency. Every president thats held the Fed Reserve is equally to blame for not changing the email address(as Dru said).
I've defended Congress elsewhere but I won't go into now. I'll leave it at: Congress is doing what we feel is right for the people and country. Its also pretty much in the job description to be hated. Comes with the territory I guess. You can elect an entirely new Congress, but sooner or later they'll have to make a tough decision and people will hate them for it(No matter what they decide).
