Our Food/Housing Situation is Critical
•
by pdiddy
Food and Housing Prices our outrageous and no one in this country is getting paid enough to handle it.
Food
There is no need for Q1 food, but Q2 food is at 9 IEP. A new person with skill level 1 who is probably making 2-5 IEP max at many companies will not be able to afford any food. A good friend of mine with skill 4.5 gets paid 9 IEP. This means they can only afford Q2 food and never save up anything.
Q3 food is about 14 IEP.
Q4 food about 17 IEP.
Q5 food is at 23 IEP. All of these prices are outrageous.
At my current pay rate I would be able to afford only Q3 food everyday, but luckily I have a nice boss who gifts and sometimes feeds his employees. I am also lucky that I have been able to stockpile gold just in case something like this happened.
I work at a Q4 company and train everyday. I have a Q3 house which I bought in Bulgaria and I eat Q4 food. I would eat Q5 food but I cannot afford it with my 6.17 skill level.
Housing
The lowest priced house which is Q1 is 595 IEP. That is horrible to even think it could possibly be that high. A q1 house is useless.
The Q3 house on the market is 808 IEP
Q4 is almost 2000 IEP.
This is an EMERGENCY.If the current government cant see this then they are blind.
Right now one of the only other options that hasn't already been said are government handouts. The government needs to step forward and spend some of the 127,136 IEP and 400 gold. Your people are starving. They are dying in the streets. Help the good people of eIreland.

Excellent article pdiddy.
EMERGENCY is right!
It is all because of the exchange rate. When the IEP goes down in value, prices are forced to rise because companies need to make the same amount of gold profit as before. If our prices stayed the same, companies would never be able to upgrade, and foreigners would move to Ireland and clean out our markets.
Please read this article I wrote and start using the exchange market to keep it stable:

Great article. Michael Collins is of course correct as well! I shall promote Collins' link in the INT.
Collins I have already read it and I understand it all. But that doesn't change what is happening right now! We need something to be done this instance.
What we have to do is fight the company owners to raise wages if they are going to raise their prices.
We need more low offers on gold in the monetary market.
I saw a few yesterday, 1gold = 90IEP, but now the prices are up to 110IEP and those are from the Irish Bank!
If we can't produce food enough to feed everyone prices go up so we should lover taxes for for foreign food so we can get our daily food and we can survive. These food price rates can't last for long.
If these prices stay too long this high i have to move to another country. After that moving tickets cost wery much 😃
Like Daniel said, we need our daily bread, and for most of us that means AT LEAST Q3 food just to keep us +-0 on wellness.
Since the productivity changed things have gone to hell in Ireland, one of the reasons I started my world tour...
