Doctor Jerry Rytloc's Journal Entry #5: Mission 2 - Employment (commence)
LEARN:
So I've noticed that a lot of people are being laid off. Xia's uncle has been laid off from his job at NCI Buildings. His uncle has been working for the company for over 10 years and now they can't keep everyone, so they laid off a lot of people. The thing is we are recovering from a recession and we can't do much about it. When people are earning less they spend less so companies and businesses don't have enough money to keep up with paying the employees so then they're laid off. At a time like this people are willing to save rather than spend so hence this cycle.
ACT:
Hmm... what can I do to help. It's very open ended at this point. The thing is people just got to realize that the less they spend the less companies get money. I am not blaming the people for not spending money though because we are recovering form a recession and it's all just a mess. It's hard to create new jobs when companies are struggling to stay alive. I guess I will move my free walk-in clinic to Modesto and ease the pain of the people. It's all free! If they don't have to worry about paying for their healthcare they can then spend it at local stores to help sales thus making the wheel turn again!
IMAGINE:
If I, Doctor Jerry Rytloc, Healzor the Healer could obtain as much power and resource possible I would make a handout not to big businesses but to the locals in Modesto. Chances are they will save, but then again chances are they will spend more if they have more. We have to continue this cycle so that it insures the remaining companies, businesses, and stores will stay open and hiring people. Bailing out big companies is not necessarily a good thing because the head of the company will just take the money and run! It's been done before, we got to help the people first.
I really like your approach to the situation. I think it's cool that you would give the money to people to convince them to spend rather than just hand it to the businesses because even if they got it, it wouldn't sell their products to the people who still want to save.
ReplyDeleteYeah, cool concept, I wish there was free health care here in the US.
ReplyDeleteGiving money to the consumer just makes sense. Even if they won't use it to buy a big screen, they'll use it to pay bills and then at least the power/water/electricity/phone companies will see an increase. But will that help the immediate area? Who knows.
ReplyDeleteYour use of your power to have a medical clinic is a great idea! Good concept and good animation.
ReplyDeletea medical clinic would help a lot of people.
