Our country, our party and a complaint

Hello people of Thailand,
I came here to talk a little bit about recent events in our country.
First on the change in the rate of the sector of food and gifts.
Our party is free, and for lack of time there was a discussion on the proposals, because it ended with a division between our votes.
I imagine that I, Mathy and Ealb have voted against the proposals. And here explain why. Ealb even started a good discussion in your newspaper, but unfortunately there was some failure in communication and our congressmen did not see the time. It is here the warning us, wait until the last minute to vote. Several people told me that they would change their vote if they could. Let's avoid this type of problem.
On the sector of gifts, I use the words of Ealb:
"The Gift sector is not facing foreign competition so much as to Justify increasing the Gift Income Tax rate to the Highest in all of eRepublik (next closest is 16😵
, and tied for the 2nd highest VAT Gifts (India shares 20%; but that doesn't compare before Australia's insane 50😵
. "
On the market for food, the situation is similar. Simply no foreign competition to justify the increase in the rate of import. And with the recent inflation, increase the VAT and Income Tax seems even more senseless. The government in erepublik doesn't need much money to maintain, unlike in real life. Mainly because we already have some government enterprises.
Changing the subject now, I have a complaint very important to do. I Do not usually do that on the eve of election, but at this point I do not have to wait.
Today, the first thing I saw the president making Rockman 9 was the sale of 1 BRL in exchange of 25 Gold. Twice. After this, a sale of 1 BRL in exchange of 20 Gold.
Reflect me. Why the sale of a money by an amount so small to an amount so great? Coincidentally, 25 Gold is the amount of money that a person can have in the first game - inviting more people. 20 Gold is the same amount having an error in the invitation.
Soon after launch, the money was not more in the exchange market.
The sale of that money in the exchange market would be a perfect way to hide the donor, making possible the creation of multiple accounts only for the gain of Gold.
I may be wrong, but at least it is very strange, especially for someone(Rockman) who has always been a big supporter of non-use of fakes, which came to acknowledge that my party used them for last general elections.
We see that the reality is not so. I have already accused him of corruption again - analyzing business of government and noting the exchange of money made, and he never answered me. Now it happens again. What's happening?
Was it when he won the last elections? That may be, you may not, I can not trust his words more while he did not explain.
Another very strange fact is the president - regardless of their legs broken or not - He always is "reborn" when it is in a critical situation. Several people were already talking about "impeachment" or on a new vice president, and then reappears . And then something new.
I hope all of you reflect on my ideas.
Regards,
Luis Carlos Prestes

Olá povo da thailândia,
vim aqui para falar um pouco dos recentes acontecimentos em nosso país.
Em primeiro lugar sobre a mudança nas taxas do setor de food e de gifts.
Nosso partido é livre, e por falta de tempo não houve uma discussão sobre as propostas, por causa disso acabou havendo uma divisão entre nossos votos.
Imagino que eu, mathy e Ealb tenhamos votado contra as propostas. E explico aqui o porquê. Ealb inclusive iniciou uma boa discussão em seu newspaper, mas infelizmente houve alguma falha na comunicação e nossos congressistas não viram a tempo.
Fica aqui o aviso gente, aguardem até o último instante para votarem. Várias pessoas me disseram que iriam trocar seu voto se pudessem. Vamos evitar esse tipo de problema.
Sobre o setor de gifts, faço das minhas palavras as do Ealb:
"The Gift sector is not facing so much foreign competition as to justify increasing the Gift Income Tax rate to LITERALLY THE HIGHEST in all of eRepublik (next closest is 16😵
, and tied for the 2nd highest Gifts VAT (India shares 20%, but that pales before Portugal's insane 50😵
."
Sobre o mercado de food, a situação é parecida. Simplesmente não há competição externa que justifique o aumento da taxa de importação. E, com a recente inflação, aumentar o VAT e o Income Tax se mostra ainda mais sem sentido. O governo no erepublik não precisa de muito dinheiro para se manter, ao contrário da vida real. Principalmente porque já possuímos algumas empresas governamentais.
Mudando agora de assunto, tenho uma denúncia muito importante a fazer. Não costumo fazer isso em vésperas de eleição, mas nesse momento não tenho como esperar.
Hoje, a primeira coisa que vi o Presidente Rockman 9 fazendo foi a venda de 1 BRL em troca de 25 Gold. Duas vezes. Após isso, uma venda de 1 BRL em troca de 20 Gold.
Raciocinem comigo. Por que a venda de um dinheiro tão pequeno por uma quantia tão grande? Coincidentemente, 25 Gold é a quantidade de dinheiro que uma pessoa pode ter inicialmente no jogo - convidando mais pessoas. 20 Gold é essa mesma quantia tendo um erro no convite.
Logo após lançado, o dinheiro não estava mais no mercado de câmbio.
A venda desse dinheiro no mercado de câmbio seria uma maneira perfeita de esconder o doador, tornando viável a criação de múltiplas contas apenas para o ganho dos Golds recebidos pelos convites.
Posso estar errado, mas é no mínimo muito estranho, principalmente para alguém que sempre foi um grande defensor do não-uso de fakes, que chegou até a acusar meu partido de tê-los usado.
Estamos vendo que a realidade não é bem assim. Eu já o acusei de corrupção outra vez - analisando as empresas do governo e notando os câmbios de dinheiro realizados, e ele nunca me respondeu. Agora isso acontece mais uma vez. O que está acontecendo?
Será que foi assim que ele ganhou as últimas eleições? Pode ser que sim, pode ser que não, não consigo mais confiar em suas palavras enquanto ele não se explicar.
Outro fato muito estranho é o Presidente - independente de sua perna quebrada ou não - sempre "renasce" quando está em uma situação crítica. Várias pessoas estavam já falando em "impeachment" ou sobre um novo vice-presidente, e então o Rockman reaparece. E aí some de novo.
Espero que todos vocês reflitam sobre essas minhas idéias na hora de escolher o próximo presidente.
Atenciosamente,
Luis Carlos Prestes

Very good article Luis!
Now I am confident that either you or Ealb will make great president or vice president of this nation!
Could I safely say that in the next 2 months TNT will be out of the political scene in Thailand?
Rockman reborn. This is very... i\'m without words.
It is true Raalph. It seems he never shows up unless criticized. Or do you mean to say something else?
>(Today there is a dirty tactic in the opposition complains about everything,
>criticizing everything and do nothing.)
We don\'t hold the reigns of power. We can\'t actually DO anything. All we can do is try to influence YOU to act.
>(We stocked nearly 1000 weapons and nearly 400 gifts.)
Where are these stockpiles? A company or private citizen? Who or what? Serious question, not an accusation. Yesterday was the -FIRST- time you mentioned these things. This is VERY bad communication.
>(But know that the president will pick a country protected, financially healthy,
>rich in natural resources and armed to the teeth.)
Um. Maybe armed. Maybe possessed of natural resources. But unless by finacially healthy you mean \"having a large treasury\", I must emphatically disagree. Our economy is a mess. I\'ll not go into details here, as I\'ve done so elsewhere plenty of times.
>(Finally, there are many things we have to reach some agreement. The
>way it is, the situation is unsustainable. We must work together for the
>good of Thailand, not our egos.)
I agree. It *IS* unsustainable. But your vision of \"working together\" appears to be that we silently obey your every whim without the least question... nor even a call for explanation.
As to \"for the good of eThailand vs. egos\"... what about my request to bump up Moving and Weapon tariffs to 50%? It\'d be consistent with the other rates, an your old objections to doing so don\'t stand given what you\'ve done to tariffs in other sectors. The only apparent reason I see for you to have not acted swiftly on this suggestion is because someone in the opposition proposed it... which would suggest that it\'s your ego driving your inaction.
Ya know what? You never seem to respond to anything that\'s not in Portugeuse, so I\'m just gonna go ahead and cram these comments into an MT system and post whatever dog\'s breakfast results. Maybe it\'ll actually get a response out of you for once then.

>Hoje existe uma tática suja da oposição em reclamar de tudo,
>criticar tudo e não fazer nada.
Nós não detêm o poder de reinar. Nós não podemos realmente fazer alguma coisa. Tudo o que podemos fazer é tentar influenciar VOCÊ para agir.
>Temos estocados quase 1000 weapons e quase 400 gifts.
Onde estão esses estoques? Uma empresa privada ou cidadão? Quem ou o que? Questão séria, não uma acusação. Ontem foi a primeira vez que você mencionou essas coisas. Isto é muito mau comunicação.
>Mas saibam que esse presidente vai pegar um país protegido, saudável
>financeiramente, rico em recursos naturais e armado até os dentes.
Uhm. Talvez armados. Talvez possuído dos recursos naturais. Mas pelo menos que você quer dizer financeiramente saudável \"com um grande tesouro\", devo discordar veementemente. Nossa economia está uma bagunça. Eu não vou entrar em detalhes aqui, como tenho feito noutros locais muitos os tempos.
>Enfim, há muitas coisas que temos que chegar a algum acordo. Do
>jeito que está, a situação é insustentável. Temos que trabalhar juntos
>para o bem da Tailândia, não de nossos egos.
Eu concordo. É insustentável. Mas a sua visão de \"trabalhar juntos\" parece ser a de que estamos todos em silêncio obedecerdes seu capricho, sem a mínima questão ... nem sequer uma explicação para a chamada.
Quanto ao \"para o bem da eThailand vs egos\" ... Que dizer do meu pedido de lombada para cima e Moving Weapons tarifas para 50%? Ela deseja ser coerente com as outras taxas, uma sua antiga oposição a fazê-lo não agüentam dado o que você fez para as tarifas em outros setores. A única razão aparente para eu ver você não ter agido rapidamente sobre esta sugestão é porque alguém da oposição propôs que ... o que levaria a crer que ele está dirigindo a sua inacção seu ego.
you want to influence him to do it your way. That is wrong. You are oposition, have the right to complain. But rockman was elected because more people believe in his diferent ideas or trust in his capacity. I think that yes, he can listen you, but he have to do HIS government, because of that exists diferent partys. Diferent ideas.
e rockman, nao se preocupe, como ja diria o sabio:
-\"cao q ladra demais nao morde\"
-\"sabia e a serpente marinha, que se finge de morta e sabe a hora de dar o bote\"
Os estoques estão na Gifts Academy, Weapons Academy e Weapons Elite.
O pessoal reclamava muito da concorrência estrangeira. As tarifas de importação foram aumentadas e o câmbio foi sensivelmente desvalorizado, com um Gold passando a valer 100THBs. Mesmo com essa medida protecionista, continuam a reclamar.
A bola da vez agora são os impostos. Vcs têm que ter a noção de que hospitais não são de graça. Gifts e armas não são de graça. A constituição das empresas extrativistas na V1 não são de graça. O que vejo são apenas donos de empresas descontentes.
Óbvio que eu vou mudar as outras taxas. O problema é que eu só posso lançar duas medidas a cada 48 horas, entende? É uma limitação do jogo.
Be honest. He was elected because he cajoled people from his gaming forum to create accounts and vote for him. They dont even play eRepublik. So in that sense, the people dont want him in power, Rockman wants himself in power.
this is what trp say man, plz dont say what you dont know.
There is really a game forum with a erepublik topic. But in this topic we only discuss about the party, ask for a job or for higher salary. Just this, so plz dont say that.
And rockman dont want himself in the power, he just want to help e thai, and the way he did ethai become better. So he will resign of next presidential elections, because he think that he did enough for the country and he agrees that maybe it is time for changes. Please dont be the typical american that try to imposes( by the force) your ill.
I also love the typical American comment. Way to stereotype. This has nothing to do with \"imposing my will\". This has to do with honesty and being ethical.
>Óbvio que eu vou mudar as outras taxas. O problema é que eu só
>posso lançar duas medidas a cada 48 horas, entende? É uma

This isn\'t evident to a non-president, and the fact that your last proposals came out two at once only further confused the issue. But duly noted, and glad to hear it.
However, I will point out that even if you couldn\'t propose them, you could have informed the eThai public that you intended to do so. Outside of policy issues, this disinclination to communicate with we the ePeople has to be the single most objectionable thing about your regime... and in fact, it\'s also a major influence on dissatisfaction with policy issues, as we\'re rarely well informed of your actions and plans (e.g., the aforementioned stockpiles).
>O que vejo são apenas donos de empresas descontentes.
Workers, too. And it\'s not for no reason, as you insinuate here. But that can be left for another thread.
>And rockman dont want himself in the power, he just want to help e thai,
>and the way he did ethai become better. So he will resign of next
>presidential elections, because he think that he did enough for the

Rich, Antonio, rich. I\'ll believe that when I see it happen. Do you want me to go dig up the comment from late September when he claimed he wasn\'t going to run in the LAST election? I suspect he changed his mind when he realize he couldn\'t arrange a hand-picked successor at that late date. Or that he never actually meant it and just said it to placate the masses. One of the two.
in september he say that he wouldnt run for 3 elections, only 2
Antonio you are a disgrace to the Brazilian community in eRepublik, how can you stereotype the Americans , only because their president (Bush) likes to force things down the throat of the other nations doesn\'t mean you generalize everyother citizen of the country, I as a citizen of both country I say that most americans are not like that
Antonio please just shut with your comments!
Antonio, I have READ your forums. Most of the recent posts have been PLEASE VOTE FOR ME IN EREPUBLIK or requests to be hired. They say nothing about plans and mostly complain that the other side is doing illegal things to win elections. This is starting to be a joke. I didn\'t want to have to spread the forum and the post around to everyone. All your posts in the media contain insults, in fact most of TNT\'s posts ARE insults. Crom posted another MIMIMI comment in one article, Splash keeps insulting, and Rockman doesn\'t post in english. In fact the only people in your party who NEVER insulted and always makes sure that the add something are OMG txerren and s33vald. Gee where did they go. OH YEAH THEY LEFT.
