Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
The Bear Necessities
“Planning for the People,” a popular new movement, has been holding protests all over the country after a recent crisis where the Economic Planning Committee accidentally sent 10 tonnes of teddy bears to a small town in dire need of wheat.
I’ve encountered with 3 choice
1. “This has gone on long enough!” shouts the leader of the protest, Nelson van Gogh. “While I am a patriot of our glorious Galactic Republic, things are far from perfect. No-one wants to return our economy to capitalist exploitation, but something must be done about the bureaucratic mess that our country is in! Comrades, instead of centralized planning, we can have a democratically controlled economy! Finally we can achieve the socialist dream of workers’ power!”
2. “This is utter madness!” seethes Tanya Connery, one of your most trusted economic planners. “The country would be in ruins without our central planning! Who ensures that everything runs smoothly? Sure we mess up sometimes, but hey, we are only human. Besides, we intended to send that town teddy bears. Hmm… yeah, we did intend it! Those teddy bears are edible, you know?”
3. “More socialism? Have you all gone mad?” fumes foreign Tourism tycoon Brenda Kennett, whose face is now turning blue with rage. “Violet save me! The government has no business telling me how to run MY business! The only real way to rebuild NATIONSNAME’s anemic economy is to bring back capitalism. Privatize the really lucrative industries and cut everything else. Some shock therapy would do NATIONSNAME wonders.”
4. Dismiss the issue
