The Problem with the Markets...is GREED and INSECURITY

Day 1,718, 06:54 Published in USA USA by Dinnyin


Someone asked me to explain to them, just yesterday, why the job market is so terribly low. They asked me if we were in a "recession." If you take a look around, you'll see that all the markets are a bit lower now. Back when I started a mere 60 days ago gold was trading at almost 3,000 to 1, today...it's trading at 1,300 to 1. That's a drop of more than 50% in value. The job market is the same way. Back when I started jobs were plentiful around 300 CC daily, before taxes. Now, you're lucky to find one for 120 CC.

So what changed in the last 60 days to make things drop so drastically you ask? Greed and Insecurity was introduced into the markets, by the admins of this game AND the players.

Rocket Factories



The introduction of rocket factories by the admins sent q1-4 weapon prices through the roof! Weapons Raw Materials weren't affected for very long and returned to normal pricing, but the price of q1-4 weapons tripled overnight. Why? Because most of the older players had abandoned the lower quality factories to produce q5-6 for greater firepower, more uses, etc. Make sense? Naturally. With the introduction of Rocket Factories, all of a sudden, lower level players could produce lower quality weapons and sell them for BIG profits!

Q7 Weapon Factories



The ne plus ultra of the weapons industry, and supposedly "the last Q designed for weapons" (something tells me, NOT!)

This introduction by the admins has sent everyone scurrying, in both the direction of GREED from the raw material providers to INSECURITY by the finished good manufacturers.

I am familiar with the laws of supply and demand


so I understand why the raw material suppliers became greedy, and I also understand why the finished product manufacturers became insecure. What I don't understand is why no one has thought through supplying the foreign markets in ways that are mutually beneficial to both parties?

Supplying Foreign Markets

I know this idea isn't going to be popular with those who exist outside of the eUSA market, but you know what, it makes sense for global trade. If you look at the market in the eUSA, and as an example, let's look at WRM and Q7 weapons since they're the hottest thing going right now.

WRM - $0.22 per unit (200 units required for a single Q7 = $44.00)
Q7 Weapon - $47.99 (minus 1% tax on the sale, of course = $47.51)

You can see here that without figuring in labor costs to produce these units, the profit per unit is only $3.51. Now, since we can't make 1 unit at a time in our factories, we have to look at making 20 units, so you can see the profit per 20 units is a WHOPPING $70.20!!

With a labor market where employees are being paid $115.00 per day, the factory is actually losing almost $45 per employee per day. This is bad economics.

Now, looking at a foreign market, for instance...Croatia (since they're always involved in battles of some sort). The price for a Q7 on their market is 61.30 CC. Using our same costs analysis from before, and transporting via donation instead of a market sale, the profit per unit (before labor) would be 17.30 CC, and for 20 units 346.00 CC. So as you can see, labor could be paid more than 115 CC daily and companies would MAKE PROFIT. One thing to think about too is that Croatia's government charges 25% VAT, there is no Value Added Tax here in eUSA.

What all this means is that we don't have to sell our Q7 for next to NO PROFIT into foreign markets!!! We can sell them for some profit and stop cheating ourselves! Don't be so insecure that you're not going to unload your inventory and start nickel and dimeing each other to death.

Insecurity exists in every market. Because of the cost of WRM the gold market has plummeted, since so much more CC was needed to buy up the extra WRM needed to produce Q7. If we can bring the WRM prices back down to normal levels (lets say even 0.11 to 0.12 CC per unit) the job market will recover, the monetary market will recover, and companies can go back to making PROFITS again and not just struggling to survive.

I hope you enjoyed this article with a "nut shell" explanation of how we're all killing ourselves for nothing. I look forward to reading your comments below.
