[Mongress] Cuz Reasons...

An official Political Party broadcast brought to you by Best PCP
Dear eUK.
A few months back, I trolled you all in to raising the minimum wage. I claimed it was to tax the multi operators (it might have done, but I highly doubt it reached the hundreds of cc mark), it wasn't,it was purely for my own entertainment. I thank you all for playing along.
Most of you have caught wind of CptChazbeards supply system (it really needs a name, Chaz) which so far he has been paying from his own pocket. He's now fed up with bank rolling you losers and would like to shift the cost on to others. A few of us felt uneasy handing the project over to Mongress as a whole, so we came up with a better plan, a plan in which Mongress can help out if they like, but are not in control of. A win win all round.
Serial philanthropist Dave Trenga has offered up his Q7 tank companies, a fantastic gesture from a true unsung hero of the eUK. In order to make this national supply chain cheaper to run, we at Best PCP are asking to lower the minimum wage back down to it's lowest value. After the Party President Elections are over with, I shall proceed with the proposal. This is a chance for us to do something as a community, regardless of party, MU or past history, lets not waste it.
Dave needs at least 11 people willing to work twice a day, or a total of 22 work tickets in order to make this more viable. I assume he'll have an article out explaining in more detail some time soon (or I can publish the congress message here if you like?). But if you are interested in helping out and are a daily player with some health to spare message Dave Trenga.
Likewise, if you have Raw materials going spare or want to set up a guaranteed purchase order of your food, tanks, raw materials, message Dave or Chaz.
TL,DR:
Vote yes on upcoming proposal to lower minimum wage
Give Dave all your shit
Spam Chaz with love poems
Lots of Love
Wayne and the Best PCP team

You didn't care who it would screw over when you pushed people to increase the minimum wage, why should I care who it will screw over if it doesn't get decreased again?
I don't know what happened there in the time I wasn't playing, but if we really want to make something worthwhile in the UK please people stop looking back and look forward. Thank you!
This is an even better system than Catholicism, I can do whatever I like today, not repent, and then in a month say "Don't look at what I did last month, look forward!" and all will be forgiven.
Ofc & c'est le ton qui fait la musique 😉
I have nothing to repent for. Whatever my motivation, I put forth my case, gave my arguments for and 40 other people decided for themselves to agree with me on the majority. That isn't something to be ashamed of and certainly not something that needs forgiveness for. That is exactly how it was designed to work.
You ain't a Mongressman so this doesn't concern you.
If it only concerns Mongress, send it to Mongress in a private mail. If you post a public article you're opening it up for public discussion.
As a Mongressman, I am free to publish wherever I like. As a simple commoner, you are free to make your opinion known. I'm also free to disregard your opinion, as you are mine.
If you wish to challenge something based on the person who proposed it rather than the idea behind it, that is your call.
I agree with your first point. You were the one who initially tried to shut someone up based on whether they're in congress rather than discussing the actual issue, so I don't know why you think I'm the one who needs to have that pointed out to them.
Did you never hear of the boy who cried wolf? If you don't want people to reject your ideas based on you being the one to propose them, don't propose ideas and then publicly laugh at everyone who supported them for being gullible fools.
In order to be classed as a 'cry wolf' moment would imply I have done such things on numerous occasions. Which is false. If you have actually followed my button pressing career I've always pressed the right button at the right time. You would also notice that I only ever request when it makes good game sense. So I would say that the accusation of crying wolf is false and my claim that opposition to this idea is based purely on the personality proposing it is the truthful statement here.
Also, I said it didn't concern you not that you couldn't make your opinion known. If you feel it does concern you then please, explain why. And please the claims of 'this is just Wayne lulz' is doing a great disservice to Daves attempts to help the community. It would be helpful for all concerned to actually discuss the proposal rather than the proposer.
It concerns me as a citizen of the eUK when the tax levels of the eUK change, not sure how much of an explanation you need for that.
You say you made the eUK change the taxes before just to see if you could, and in the same article you ask the eUK to change the taxes again - I don't understand how you can be surprised if people view that with suspicion? The lesson you apparently missed in the boy who cried wolf is that if you want people to respond when you NEED them to, don't trick them into responding when you DON'T need them to just for your own amusement. If you don't see a parallel with the current situation then I don't know how to explain it to you.
Tax levels aren't being changed. All that is being changed is the minimum wage. I think you have failed to grasp the article.
Yep, wrong term. Minimum wage is being changed, which affects me as I have factories in the eUK that I can employ people in, and affects me as a I work in a factory as well.
No further comment on the "boy who cries wolf analogy", so I assume that point finally sank in.
I just think it's a poor analogy, seeing as the tale is about repeated false alarms...
As a business owner the lowering of the minimum wage gives you more flexibility. 99.9 different levels of payment for you to choose from. This really is a none issue. It effects absolutely nothing!
Nope, my guess this is more Wayne "entertainment"
Minimum wage should be raised not lowered
By all means, if you want Mongress to raise taxes and spend them instead of us just simply lowering the minimum wage which affects no one, we can do that.
Given a choice between giving money to rich oldfags or mongress I would choose mongress. At least you can continue to nag mongress into reducing taxes
@Wayne - if it affects no-one, what's the point of lowering it? The only reason I can think of is you just want to see if you can make the eUK jump through another hoop.
@Sexagenarian - "Keep taxes higher because then we can nag Mongress to reduce them" makes even less sense than "Raise taxes for the lulz then lower them again when I start being srs bsns cos I'm Wayne".
No one is giving money to the 'rich oldfags' (you are as eOld as me Sexa, we are the oldfags nowadays). Dave Trenga and CptChazbeard wanna set up a supply system that would benefit any player wishing to join the scheme, old or newb. By all means be up in arms because it's me suggesting the proposal, but this makes good game sense. If you wanna carry on down that vein be my guest.
Jim, the only reason to lower it is to reduce Dave's operating costs, meaning tax money does not need to be poured in. By all means lets keep it at 100cc, gain nothing from it and then just have Mongress send Dave over tax money instead.
This isn't my hoop. I'm simply helping to get it moving.
High taxes only benefit the already wealthy. We should lower taxes for the benefit of all the eUK.
Low wages also benefit the already wealthy
Nobody on this game takes lower wages unless they actually WANT to sell themselves into slavery. On this game it's actually far easier to get a high paid job than a low paid one.n The minimum limit is borderline irrelevant except for people who want to run particular schemes like the one proposed in this ol' Wayne article.
You forgot about communes, where the value of supplies never matches what is actually earned
Communes involve those being supplied to trade their labour in exchange for goods. This isn't what we are trying to do here.
People who join communes choose to join them tho. If they wanted to actually do something that makes sense instead, then they're free to do so regardless of minimum wage levels.
it'll impact your daily revenue : (
but may increase our damage output. Well worth doing science if you ask me.
i don't remember the fked up formula,
but they use average salary in it.
maybe you have enough ppl not using commune system to keep it high...
GL 😘
Interesting idea, but you know 100cc*2*7 is roughly the price of a house, which your 11 people will need to buy in order to work twice. If you expect the 11 people to lose them costs then your asking the richer, more active players, who can easily just donate the wages back to Dave.
Problem solved

Shame we can't transfer overtime tickets, I have several thousand of them I'm never going to use.
If the minimum wage is lowered, it would mean that I could produce houses for volunteers cheaper as well and sell them cheaper to them. I am not expecting any volunteers to loose any money, but neither can they expect to become rich of it
People could donate the cash back, but it's a unnecessary step. From what I gather, Dave was going to offer cut price houses to those who work.
Wayne's always been my favourite commie
I should take myself for a helicopter ride...
Horice, a poem by Horice dedicated to Chaz:
Much to his Mum and Dad’s dismay
Horice ate himself one day.
He didn’t stop to say his grace,
He just sat down and ate his face.
“We can’t have this” his Chaz declared,
“If that lad’s ate, he should be shared.”
But even as he spoke they saw
Horice eating more and more:
First his legs and then his thighs,
His arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes...
“Stop him someone!” Wayne cried
“Those eyeballs would be better fried!”
But all too late, for they were gone,
And he had started on his dong...
“Oh! foolish child!” the Chaz mourns
“You could have deep-fried that with prawns,
Some parsley and some tartar sauce...”
But Horice was on his second course:
His liver and his lights and lung,
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue;
“To think I raised him from the cot
And now he’s going to scoff the lot!”
Wayne crie😛 “What shall we do?
What’s left won’t even make a stew...”
And as she wept, Horice was seen
To eat his head, his heart, his spleen.
And there he lay: a boy no more,
Just a stomach, on the floor...
None the less, since it was his
They ate it – that’s what haggis is.
Horice 💀
