I don't even have that kind of authority and you know it.

She explains to the people who are confused that some red communities had higher expenses and so looked for opportunities to make more money so they could make ends meet.

They are troubled by the need to force the towns where wages were historically lower to cope with a sudden jump.

State could subsidize it.

They're suddenly very good at doing nothing.

Hopefully those towns will consider the higher costs well worth it for the benefits of never having to see a red again.

But it's a big jump! Marginal businesses will go bankrupt!

Isel does peaceful cheap red transitions, she does not fix your economy. Unless they want to appoint her their Queen, in which case she will give them starships and also fix the fuck out of their economy.

Ummmmm.

...

No.

Then too bad for the marginal businesses. 

The original Mioleens are finding their new citizens a little... weird.

What's the problem?

It's not just that they don't speak the language, they're also kind of kooky and seem even more stressed out than baseline for transitioning reds.

Do they want her to hop over to their decontamination facilities and translate and see if it's anything she can help with?

It's not like a huge deal, they were just wondering if she knew what was up with that.

Their country is a complete disaster run by a cowardly and incompetent flock of vultures with no redeeming traits beyond their occasional capacity for pursuing their own self-interest so maybe it's just that. 

That might do it!

When the plumbers are out they can start on the undertakers.

This exhibits a wage differential problem too and it hits hospitals and nursing homes especially.

Are there barriers to the state appropriately funding hospitals and nursing homes?

They're privatized, most things are.

Does the state of Calado actually do anything other than population controls.

They maintain a standing army and police force and they do legislation and the fire department and certain compulsory insurances.

Kantil's college girlfriend who was a libertarian stands refuted, in Isel's opinion. Sorry, hospitals and nursing homes. If this country were competently run you'd get subsidies to help with the transition.

Aieeeeeeeeee.
