Not sooner?

A few days ago, I wrote an article which sprung some grand critique into the air. I applaud all the commentators (mostly eDeO employees, not too surprising) for their activity. I love activity. That's why I joined WBP. We are doers, and believe you are too.
Anyway, my last article was mostly a critique to the eDeO stating that it produced the cheapest food in eDenmark. I - as both a business- and congressman - reacted to that statement. How could they say that Q3 food for 2,5 DKK was the cheapest they could possibly come up with? It might not be able to understand for the average citizen, but since I and my business just left the Q3 level of food I knew that the cited price wasn't worth any bragging rights.
Now, one question came up in the comments which some suggested that I didn't answer. Why did I decide to lower my prices when eDeO came around, and not sooner? Well first of all, there wasn't a charity-gig in town before eDeO rolled along - charity on the free market, I might add. But I think that the critique is somewhat undeserved. Hence, I ask the question:
Not sooner?
If one would make the simple move of switching to the food market tab, one can see that there are three suppliers of Q4 food on the market: Friheds Frikadeller, Umbrella Food and Dave Inc. Now, between the first two competitors there isn't too much of a difference. Both stay close to each other's prices, about 7-8 DKK per unit of Q4 food. But what, then, is the difference between those two companies and Dave Inc - the third competitor?
About 4,5 DKK, or 36% of the lowest competitor price.
Not only is Dave Inc doing this while making some kind of profit - we are also doing it using 100% eDanish grain, produced by our sister company; Fields of Phail. But we don't stop here. FoP is constantly employing low-skilled workers - currently 4 employees are below skill level 2. Not only that, we are paying them 3 DKK per day. That is more than the country's minimum wage, but enough for you to afford our Q4 food while working at a Q2 company. We also offer our employees to get their hands on some of the company's production for free - if they show us activity.
With my last article, I was told to put on my running shoes and prepare to burn off some fat. To tell you the truth, the track has been awfully lonely. While Dave Inc, day after day, has offered the eDanish market the CHEAPEST Q4 FOOD IN THE WORLD, produced using only Danish raw materials, eDeO has not been able to come up with any serious attempt at the market. Shure they're feeding their own children, but in my point of view that's not a very rational thing to say. The rhetorics has not been between workers and workers, employers and employees. It has been between congressmen - elected and responsible to the entire population. That's why I'm feeding our entire population. - not the members of my party.
I came to Denmark because I thought REAL men lived here. Real men don't need free food and gifts - they get them for themselves. We're a small nation. Hence; even as a newbie, one should be able to make a name for oneself without too much effort. I don't want to help you by giving you stuff without an effort - that doesn't seem to be activity-inspiring in my eyes.
Personally, I believe the average Dane is smart enough to take care of himself. I want YOU to make something of your own. I want you to raise your own money, start your own business, run for congress, start your own newspaper. Be crazy, be free - but don't be for free. The Webuerian Bueraucracy Party is not going to do stuff for you. However, we will try to make it easier for you to do stuff. An active Denmark is the Denmark I want to live in. I can't make the clicks for you, I can't write your articles. It's all up to you.
Although WBP has lost a lot of it's active members and congressmen, they have not disapeared into nothingness. Dale, HrBjorn and alfred temple - all members of WPB - left Denmark to fight, to DO what they thought was right. We are NOT dead - we are getting shit done.
Now eDeO, I think it's time you stepped up to the challenge. 1337 Industries has kept it's end of the bargain.
You have a lot of catching up to do.

*applaud*
agreed. we have not left denmark for good but are standing up for freedom by fighting against the tyrants of PEACE
Impressive ph0enix. Indeed it is. And very convincing.
I'm just stuck on one single thing, that you write.
"That's why I'm feeding our entire population. - not the members of my party." - Thereby saying that eDeO is feeding all members of the party, am I right?
Now I might be mistaken - correct me if I'm wrong - but eDeO is not feeding all members of the party. eDeO is making sure that every active worker in every department of the eDeO Org keep their wellness at a high level to ensure higher productivity.
In addition to that we are helping people above 50 wellness, and we are still making profit.
So you might say, that we are feeding our party. I'm saying we are rewarding our hard working employees.
Oh and by the way: Except one time, where I had no need for it, I haven't received any free gifts or food from eDeO. You might say that I'm living proof that members of the eDeO can in fact take care of themselves 😉
What I'm saying is that your food stock to a very large part goes directly to your employees through donations. I haven't seen - and correct me if I'm mistaken - any eDeO food on the market since I criticized your plans, and you do have 10 employees. So where does your food end up?
Hence, I am critical about the "state within the state" concept you guys run. If we're going to have a healthcare plan, it should include everyone, period.
I've seen it. I'm pretty sure it has just been sold out. Problably due to low prices 😛
Anyway, I'm totally with you. A healthcare plan should include everyone. I believe there is already a discussion going on in the forum? 🙂 (Sounds like we basically agree btw.)
It's actually up for a vote - yet you guys seem to have missed it.
Pho3nix: CHEAPEST Q4 FOOD IN THE WORLD
eDeO: CHEAPEST Q3 FOOD IN THE WORLD (and it's FREE for our children)
Pho3nix: currently 4 employees are below skill level 2
eDeO: currently 11 employees raised from skill level 0 (all seats are now filled)
Pho3nix: I don't want to help you by giving you stuff without an effort - that doesn't seem to be activity-inspiring in my eyes.
-it clearly does, or else eDeO would not have gained the now staggering amount of influence.
Pho3nix: Not only that, we are paying them 3 DKK per day
eDeO: we pay a minimum wage of 3.1DKK and supply all food and gifts needed to keep a high level of productivity.
Pho3nix,
-I really don't care what you choose to do, because you don't have any influence. Your political fortress has failed, and you production on Q4 food is low. -and when I once in a while see your food on the danish market, I buy it all and donate it to The Children of eDeO.
-There is eDeO food on the market, it just gets ripped of the shelves in about an hour normally.
"If we're going to have a healthcare plan, it should include everyone" -yes you daft little boy, that's why I posted the suggestion on the Forums so long ago, we already talk about this.....damn your memory is F'ed.
-Pho3nix, you are right about one thing, eDeO could sell Q3 food lower, in fact we could sell it for 0 DKK since we are completely self-sufficient, and that's one of the reasons why we daily donate most of our produce among the 30 something loyal employees of eDeO.
Magnus,
Not to 50 wellness, but towards 100 wellness.
So to summarize, I don't give a blind flying F* about what you say, when you don't have any muscles to back it up. It's like if a deaf midget tried to rape me with a week old piece of celery.........It just does not work.
My goods have been flying of the shelves as well. Send me a printscreen of you guys sell your food at 0 DKK per unit and I'll take you seriously. The 4 employees are in FoP alone. I think there are at least 3 more at Refugee Serv. Inc.
And no, I still don't think giving stuff for free is activity inspiriring - you have no idea how long people will stay in the game if you do everything for them.
And I HAVE posted the Folketing proposition of a healthcare program THREE DAYS AGO. Open your freakin' eyes...
Damn Pho3nix, I like you in RL, but seriously.........shAit:
I'm just gonna' stop talking to you for a while. It's the same basic principle as trying to force your cock through a brick wall.........at some point you just realize the futility of your efforts.
I don't get why you call me a dick because I don't give eDeO's produce out for free to all people who knock on the door (say whaaaat), when I have never said that I would do that. I don't get it. If you feel that there should be free food, then get your finger out of your mother and do it yourself........you weird person.
I never called you a dick dude. Never will.
And I totally understand that you don't give your shit out for free. I'm just trying to give you guys a hard time. It's been ages since there has been any serious discussions.
So have a beer, chill out. I'm trying to aggrevate you - and apparently it's working.
You are not giving anyone a hard time Pho3nix, you just sound weird and I just don't understand that because you were cool at the meet-up. You come off as a twat with the memory capacity of an alzheimers struck goldfish.
-stop being stupid, I want the old Pho3nix back, that non-stupid-twat-Pho3nix.
I still don't give a shit in regards to your thoughts on running MY companies, it just saddens me to see such a decline in personality, resulting in a lack thereof.
dead babies make hoeMarx LOL
Wow, just a note. Everyday all of Umbrella's Q4 food is sold at our current price of 7.07.
