[SEMI-PRIVATE] Eutopian Business Association

[Sterkarm]

Yes, we should counteract the idea that socialism is for the younger members of society and that capitalism/conservatism is for older citizens. I am living proof of this. I started my political career at merely 23 years of age in Eutopia, fighting for capitalism the whole time. Even while in London I was a strong detractor of communism and supporter of capitalism. Any other ideas for a campaign on this?

As founder of FFHI, the general partner of recently launched Real Estate Investment Trusts, Loic de Fourgéres applies for membership.

 

[Estonianzulu]

I would say we should avoid talking about "conservativism." We are not a partisan organization. Now, we are pro-capitalism. It would probably be best if we focused our speeches on that.

 

[unmerged(10397)]

The membership of Loic de Fourgères is accepted.

I agree, the less political oriented we are, the better. When representing the EBA, we should be careful to stay away from discussion of political questions, unless talking about a specific issue which is directly related to business in Eutopia.

The Markets will be open soon, gentlemen, now is the time to put our money at work to stabilize the markets for the small investors sake.

I thought it would be a good time to pick up some bargains for my retirement account. Isn't that what markets are all about, everyone acting in their own self interest and thereby efficiently allocating resources?

Long time owner of the the Langley Media Group, Jacob S. Langley has submitted an application for membership.

An acceptance note is sent to Langley's office.

 

[Amric]

Former President Al'Aeshir arrives, immaculately attired in a charcoal grey suit. He is appreciably more muscular than when he was in office and looks tan and very fit.

"I'd like to renew my membership in this organization. I've been very disheartened about the recent bombing and the rise of socialist tendencies on the campuses of this country. I agree that there should be some speeches given and seminars at colleges across the nation extolling the virtues of capitalism and subtly denigrating socialism without openly attacking it."

Welcome back, Amric. It's good to see you again. Sorry I can't be there to meet you in person, but you might have heard, I'm holed up in our secure location at the moment.

 

[Amric]

"I've heard that, John. What I can't understand is WHY the government is holed up. Nothing is getting done as it is, so why the bloody hell is everyone cowering in a damned cellar?"

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

the entire government isnt holed up amric, just most of them. there are still some elements running lose.

Believe me, I'd rather not be here.

Anyway, I'm working on getting in touch with some universities, to see if we can get out there to make some speeches on campus.

 

[unmerged(10397)]

Copies of the following letter are sent to the activities directors of Eutopian National University, University of Nouvelle Aquitaine, St. Brendanstown University, and New Lancaster City University.

Per Director,

You may be aware, the Eutopian Business Association is plotting a tour of the nation, to promote capitalism and investment. Several notable Eutopians, including myself and former President and Al'Aeshir have signed on to give speeches. We would be delighted to make a speech or two at your fine university, if that is possible.

A plank of our tour will certainly be focused on the importance of education to the capitalist system, and we believe this event would be extremely beneficial to your students, as well as a credit to your university.

Please contact me if you would interested in allowing us the privilege of speaking at your campus, and we can work out the details.

John O'Floinn
EBA Chairman

 

[von Streusser]

Chairman O'Floinn receives favorable responses from all four universities indicating they'd be honored to have him, former President Al'Aeshir, and anyone else on the tour come make a presentation. Arrangements are squared away for a time mutually beneficial to both parties, and planning begins to ensure that proper facilities are set up, tickets distributed, and promoting taken care of.

All that's left is for the various speakers to appear and do their actual speaking.

[Estonianzulu]

I would be happy to give a speech or two. I am not quiet on par with your speaking abilities, but I can present an interesting perspective, that of a foreign born entrepreneur who is not a politician.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

I would consider trying a speach or two maybe but apperently i am not important enough alas.

 

[Amric]

Michael, you didn't offer to make any speeches. But I am sure John and the others would be happy to have you speak. He did mention other Eutopian notables going to be speaking. You could be one of the other notables.

its a shame people so quickly dismiss me. not worthy of being protected, just some other face in the eba. some random notable. i get no respect i tell you. one would think having a good family name would help but not for me sadly.

*ml is getting in a joking mood at this point*

well at least i can still whoop your butts at poker. anyone up for a game?

 

[Amric]

Well we can't all have everything, can we? Well then you need to whip up a speech...
