[Jhorlin] GMs can work in all companies?
Jhorlin
So the latest admin change is an interesting one. To keep everybody informed, the general idea is that a company manager can work normally, but also work in each company that he has to his name. This means that, in theory, a citizen can produce his own food, weapons, and moving tickets, and the associated resources that go along with them.
The question on everybody's mind is, is this good, or bad for the eUK?
The line that most people seem to have taken at the moment is that it is generally good for the rich, and bad for the poor. People see themselves as modern day Robin Hoods, by starting open letters to the admins.
I offer a different point of view.
I suggest that actually, the rich will now be able to produce things cheaper. The only people buying from the markets are likely to be the poorer in society, and those who fight a crazy amount. But more people will have companies, with lower costs. That means, that there will be a huge amount of competition on the markets, which can only serve to bring down costs, both for RMs and for finished products. In short, everybody will be trying to make money, but the lower costs mean that for the same profit margins, people will be able to charge less and hey presto, products are cheaper for the consumer.
But it's not necessarily such a win-win scenario. With people so profitable themselves, they may not be looking to hire new employees. The nation risks becoming a nation of unemployed and self-employed.
This is where the role of the state comes in.
It's concievable that if a gap is created in the employment market, government may need to support people. Now, ordinarily those who know me will know that I'm much more laissez-faire, and feel that government ought not to interfere with self-determination. There is however, one shining example where I feel this is beneficial.
The army becomes a great institution for people to work, earn a wage, and more importantly, earn food to maintain wellness. This gives them the hard worker medals and the super soldier medals that they need to also become self employed.
I'm also told that those who own companies can still work for a wage in another company, so people will be able to remain in the army even when they begin to acquire their own companies to work in.
So the lesson to take from this?
Looking deeper into these things, it's never as bad as it seems. In fact, I'd say this could be a great change - it's a real positive chance to encourage participation in the army. If you're not involved, now is a great time to sign up!
Thanks for reading,

org votes indeed
I don't know what all this complaining about org votes is doing - the article serves a noble purpose - to inform, to discuss, and to encourage people to join the army.
Most articles in most countries that reach top 5 are org voted. Most TUP articles are org voted Apoty. Most Tomazim articles are org voted. What's more, most MoD orders are org voted. Yet I don't see you complaining on there "org voted."
Please try to engage with the content rather than the medium. Avoid arguing for the sake of argument.
>most tomazim articles are voted
Completely incorrect.
voted
But one problem is that the army is so slow in the application process I applied from a week and nothing came till now
If you feel the Army is slow, get in touch with me and we'll work something out and speed it up - it really is the way forward!
I haven't org voted anything since before Xmas btw.
Also I think you miss the point- if the price of goods goes down dramatically, the army will no longer seem such a good deal 🙁
well:
price of goods goes down as does demand
wages go down significantly
supply increases to the obvious benefit of company owners
benefit areas really become places with large company/player ratios and significant populations. Food/grain usage is likely to increase overall due to extra working, though with price fall and wage fall this may not necessarily make these more profitable.
game is already heavily laden on the pyramid scheme style economics, I see this stabilizing and reinforcing that state.

admins 😁
If the price of goods goes down dramatically Iain, but so does the availability and renumeration for employment, the Army will become a great deal, offering what might be the only source of employment for many for great value.
Never org voted o/
Vasusena i disagree. Price of goods will probably go down (10% max) because they get more free production. Demand wouldnt change at all, company owners already buy their own products. Wages will remain as they are because profit margins wont change.
It is all well and good if you own more than one company.You can obviously produce raw materials cheap and sell them to yourself cheap,then sell cheap on the market.If however you own only one company it,s a different story.Grain prices have not gone down.Wages are pretty much the same.Food prices however seem to be crashing.
The change doesn't take place until tomorrow.
Is it a good thing to cut workers opptions down?
I dont think so.
I can only see it getting worse.The rich get gready
Lets be honest, this only benefits the rich. We have a duty as the eUK to look out for new players who often fall into the poor section of society. Trickle down economics doesn't work, less unemployment is never good news and its even worse if they then have to join the army, never progressing to the rich status themselves.
This is joke! 😃
Work daily in all your companies
Dear Manager,
In order to improve your game experience, starting with Day 1050, we will give you the opportunity to work, once per day, for all the companies that you own on your citizen account.
Isn't that great? Higher daily production, higher skill increase, more fun.
