Intergalactic Summit

I apologize, what I mean is no large influx like those that could be sustained in the early days of the Reclamation. You are quite right that the illegal slave trade still manages to do a brisk business out in the fringes of the Empires. I was primarily concerned with the macro-economic outlook which is that beyond normal growth and replacement through reproduction the supply of slaves currently available are, widely speaking, locked in at the moment. This was further exacerbated by the exodus of slaves under the reign of the Late Empress Jamyl when they became citizens by Her proclamation.

The unlawful slaving in the periphery (which is not to imply I am so naive as to think that those slaves do not make their way as contraband back to the interior) will not, in the long term, save the Holder who treats slaves as expendable from eventual financial ruin.

No more than diverting the efforts made by others. No matter how facile they seem

You would, by your own words, know more about the Caille elite than I. So I'll leave you to lecture on that topic.

Now then...

How has any of this diversion helped to save a single life? How has avoiding addressing points and queries offered advanced anything at all? And bar complete disclosure among all present of assets, activities, and the disposition of both, how can you be certain that this bill is the entirety of what is being done among those involved?

You're conflating the inability of a well-meaning administration to eradicate the provision of a necessary economic need through legislation with some sort of evil scheme, I think.

The truth is that the Empire simply doesn't produce a sufficient surplus of new slaves through breeding programs in an economically viable enough way that it removes the ability of criminals like Sinjin Mokk (is he no longer Lord Mokk? Please don't construe the lack of honorific as an insult) to compete economically with the legitimate supply.

The only way to eradicate the illegal slave trade is to make the legal slave trade economically competetive through expansions and decentralisation - providing distributed hubs that offer a sufficient volume of slaves at economically competitive prices. This would, of course, incense the very polities within the Empire and outside it that are anti-slave.

So, the halfway-house solution begets the increase of slave raiding. The only way to stop it is to make it un-competetive.

Thank you for pointing out the reason for the resolution....? This is entirely the point. Delta and Gamma cities have fallen to far behind, this resolution is designed to make aware that increasing gap.



Not going to lie, it took a serious amount of effort to not just shut my neocom off right here. But allow me to demonstrate why Anecdotal evidence never, ever, never works.

Ahem,

"President Roden says you're wrong."

See? You can't prove he never said that. Simply put, people lie.



You are wrong, just pure and simply wrong here. Government bodies are inherently distrustful of third-party fact finding for the exact reason I just stated above, people lie.

Now what I'm assuming happened here is you confused a VA resolution (Our term, our document) with a Federal Bill (A legal obligation of the Federation.) So let me lay out how this would work.

1) *IF* the resolution receives widespread acknowledgement and acceptance, and the Federation decides to move forward on the suggestion, they would appoint a Federally mandated committee.

2) The committee would oversee determining which Gamma and Delta Cities are in fact disadvantaged.

3) It would be up to those Gamma and Delta Cities to prove that they are in fact this way. I.e. By providing inventory to the Committee which they could then, under federal mandate audit.

4) Then and only then would funds be released.

Quite frankly, you don't know what you're talking about and it appears you've taken your politics lessons from Gallente Holoreels instead of actual classes.


Seriously, rename this topic to "Amy's completely uninformed Guide to Gallente Politics," at least something in this whole mess can be true.

When you decide whether it's about patients or politics, I'll be around.

Kirstin the Caldari knows more about the Federation than a sextoy catgirl.

'cause you don't know much, hon.

Eves also came to me and told he really liked the healthcare he got.

I shouldn't have to say this again, but see?

And as far as it goes about our Resolution not being noticed you might actually be right, but that never means its not worth trying. If you wanna be a lazy member of your society allowing the system to maintain status quo because "Its to hard to get noticed." Be my guest, but don't come in here and post these long passive-aggressive whines, and not expect people to call you out on them.

It's a tired attempt at looking smart at the very best, and a troubling display of ego at its very worst.

You're really an idiot.


The issue is that you are not trying. You're just virtue signaling and expecting to get praise. Don't go posting your resolutions on the IGS and not expect people to call you out on them.

It's not corruption, it's exchanging mutual favors and having an excellent network of friends.

One big problem is that you're assuming that just because the Assembly, by the nature of being a lobbying group, is political by nature that we fall into the assorted crags of some of the realer problems of political systems across the cluster. The VA isn't virtue signaling for popularity. This resolution, just like all the others, was posted on schedule once passed through the relevant subcommittees.

The people behind keying the resolution fully intend to follow through with our promises. You can sit here and whinge, commit to your cynicism, do whatever - that's fine. It doesn't matter just how much you make it evident your misunderstandings of the workings between nation states, franchising, Federal oversight, and the innards of the political intricacies of the Federation. Embarrassing yourself isn't really necessary in aiding the dejected. You're free to, though.



Also, Arrendis, I wasn't validating corruption and Senate manipulation to be a proper political tactic. Just wording. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
