Is It Right?
ZironiaInc
Well,depends on which side of the fence you're on...
From the side I'm on,I have to say,something doesn't seem quite right about current eSouth Africa.Something is truly askeeeew(Lewis Black reference).
1.Military Economy for Dummies(me,namely)
Now,with the increase of new citizens in our country and the wide array of wars to choose from,the military is slowly but surely becoming a vital part of our country.Our President Erdwurm,however,doesn't seem to notice this problem.
That's no problem,I'll just point it out.Here it is.We,the military arm of the country need funding,not tons and tons of cash,but for God's sake,give us something to work with.
But I'm getting off-base with this,so let's all get back to the economic side of this problem.
There have been discussions on the forum(http://z13.invisionfree.com/eSouthAfrica/index.php?act=idx just in case), about potentially getting Moving/Weapons Companies to help with the logistic side of our army.Engels Enterprise and Shadow Corporation have been suggested.Our elected president dismissed these two in a flash,saying that Bakgat Corp. is more than enough to provide for our soldiers.
I,however,beg to differ.Here's my report on the activity of Bakgat Corporation:
-Stormer's Air:This company is supposed to provide our army with moving tickets.So you'd expect them to be well supplied and have a mother-load of employees.There's no need for that apparently,1 active employee is more than enough.Or so they would have you believe.
-Bakgat Gifts:This is the company that will provide our troops with gifts on the battlefield.Yeah,1gift per day is enough,isn't it?They also have 1 active employee.
The other two companies in the said corporation are irrelevant for this article,but they're also severely understaffed.
Now I'm not saying that Compmage is an incompetent manager,I'm saying he's somewhat lacking in entrepreneurial spirit.
My personal opinion is that Bakgat Corp. has had it's chance and proved quite inefficient.So I say it's time for a change.Why not give Engels Enterprises or Shadow Corporation a chance to prove they're power.Both are wonderfully staffed and seem to have the interest of the people at heart.
2. Personal vendettas are affecting the country's image
I hate to bring this up again,but I'm afraid that I cannot accept the current state of internal affairs in our fair land.I don't plan on going through the whole argument again.Just the ending(which doesn't seem to be as final as most would want it to be.
Don't get me wrong,I don't think that the way Ryan Dagari handled the problem was right.I don't.I'm pretty disappointed with his statements in the media,but it's his right.The president however has just as much a fault as Mr. Dagari in this issue.
I believe it is disturbing that the President didn't see fit to apologize to the people.Why would he you ask?Well I can see a few reasons.
1.Taylor Sawyer was his responsability and his defection to the Theocrats is his fault as well.
2.How about apologizing to the people for abusing the Constitution in order to stage a hoax-trial?
3.Lastly,he should at least admit to the Cabinet that his planning of Taylor Sawyer's infiltration was defectuous at least.
3.Questions That Need To be Asked
I will be making this a permanent section of my newspaper,as there always seem to be annoying questions that are conveniently ignored.
1.What is the Presidency going to do about the large number of citizens joining the army and asking for government help?
2.Why is the Presidency refusing to give funding to Engles Enterprises and Shadow Corporation?
Comments
I never said that bakgat corp is more then enough. I was refering to supporting current companies, these include the above mentioned ones, instead of creating a Government funded comapany which will put these guys out of business. I was never refusing the funding to help these companies, I was refusing the funding to create a state owned company.
Again,I beg to differ,you suggested consulting with Compmage and ignored Engels Enterprises and Shadow Corporation.
Again,you are answering only some questions/issues and ignore the rest.
My exact word copied from the forums:
I will sign off on everything accept:
3. Weapons Company
20 gold will be used to set up a Q1 weapons company which will sell for 50% profit (or less if necessary) and the 200 ZAR will be used for initial costs (buying the necessary iron and getting employees). We hope to attract new citizens and workers from the diamond industry as well to give them manufacturing skills. Workers will be given free food and gifts.
We have weapons companies in South Africa, we as the government cannot afford to put our citizens out of business, so please look into a viable solution to support these companies, speak to their owners and try and find a solution.
The Taylor issue has been dealt with, the plan was unsuccessful as has already been established.
As is the duty of a leader i will approve good plans but not one's that but our own citizens at risk we have already lost a few companies to bankruptcy and I will not allow that we lose more.
So the fact that you hoaxed a trial for someone,lied to the people,allowed Taylor to abuse the constitution,the relationship between BLF and FA,offend almost everyone who participated in the "debate",has no relevance now that you've established that Taylor Sawyer is a traitor...I wanna be president too!!!
So the fact that a certain people intrude on the privacy of other citizens intruding on their freedom has nothing to do with it? Yes I will stand for the liberty of each individual, this is not a police state, it is a democracy. The trial was not a total farce someone had to be reminded that citizens have the right to privacy. The intelligence ministry is there to investigate threats to the Republic from outside the country, the ministry of Safety and security is there to police the citizens. This needs to be adhered to. The trial was used to get a certain individual into a certain position but that does not mean that it was a total farce. Some individuals need to learn how to respect other citizens.
How was Ryan's report to the admins a violation of your privacy?
If your donation's list was meant to be private,I'm sure the admins would have seen to that.
What you are saying is that,if someone reports me,I have the right to charge him with the violation of my privacy?That's not really logical,is it?
So I can safely assume that you don't think you owe the general public an apology for the major screw-up that the Taylor episode was?
Yes it was a screwup because he turned on us due to outside circumstances and his personality, he has stopped playing the game because he lost his job in RL and was angry and took it out on us, do I need to apologize to everyone because another individual proved to be untrustworthy? What a novel idea. So if I all or a sudden betray you for some reason do you need to apologize to anyone? And if outside circumstances makes me decide to ask Indonesia to attack us because I am not playing the game anymore do you need to apologize to anyone too?
FFS. Are we at it AGAIN! We cant undo what happened and anyone going on about it isn't helping. We should be focusing our energy on addressing the issues we currently have.
So if it's a success we should bring on the basket of rectal kissing but if you make the wrong choices we shouldn't panic 'cause you'll just nod it off,refuse to take responsability and move on to the next issue.I like the approach...I think I'll try it.
And yes,if I was president and I would have appointed you to a position,I would consider that it would be partly my failure if you defected/betrayed the citizens of this country,thus I would apologize.
I then Humbly and publicly apologize to the public for appointing Taylor Ressurected in the position of Minister of Foreign affairs. He has betrayed us badly and my trust in him was unfounded.
Happy?
U235- I gladly agree with you lets leave the issue behind us as I have been trying to do and go move froward.
Going back on topic..
NO WAY! 😨
It deleted 3/4 of my post :'(
huh?
I personally have no problem with anyone investigating me or even reporting me. If you have nothing to hide, there is nothing to worry about. While ERD does have a legitimate complaint in that Ryan was doing the job of another ministry, he and Ryan were also incorrect in attempting to try Dagari for treason.
Taylor was obviously the biggest criminal in this case, and even though ERD appointed him and was not around to reign Taylor in when he flipped out, I'm not sure it is fair to pin all the blame on ERD for what Taylor did.
Both sides cancel each other out, so no apologies necessary. Time to move on.
Yes Jizzie I agree, can we all please stop barking like a bunch of maltese poodles and get on with why we are here, to play the game, and to let SA go forward, to reclaim our lost land and on top of it all to enjoy it !!!!!
Good article. It needed to be publicized at some point. Let's just hope that somebody finds a solution to the current and future requirements of the eSA military and its soldiers. Hopefully someone will take action and not turn everything into a debate!
Met a nice man across the border when I was visiting Grammy Engels. Seems she has taken a fancy to a man named "Big Jake".
He says he is in the "import-export" business and can "help people with any shortfalls they might encounter".
Well, to make a long story short, he and Grammy and a gaggle of strapping lads loaded the Wagoneer with several boxes that they swore "fell out of the sky by the good Man's grace".
Things got very confused for a while because Grammy started taking pot shots at a roving Indo patrol vehicle and then "Big Jake" and his boys set up some sort of contraption to "deal with it".
After all the confusion of finding a solicitor for Grammy and bailing her out of the hooscow, I never did remember to unload those boxes in the morning, but my dear sweetie did and he seemed quite pleased to store them all in the barn.
He and some fellows from around here are out there now, making all kinds of racket and drinking that swill they so love - if they get into the parlour cabinet's stock at least I still have that solicitor's number.
Anyway, before it deleted my post, I was saying we should invest in the military more, but carefully. The last thing our peaceful SA needs at this point is a war economy. 😛
