What is your policy on the many varieties of cheese?<br>

Braughn F. G. Kryos — 29/04/2023 05:36<br>

Cheese is, at its heart, an agricultural product. As such, any industry which is based on agriculture needs our support doubly. The people of Bethaven, my constituency, rely on government subsidies because of the lack of ability to produce goods and sell them at acceptable rates. This is the case all over Kodiak. My goal will be to support these small businesses and ensure they have ample resources to add additional cheese to our growing domestic food market. <br>

Thank you for your question! <br>

What is your opinion on so-called "fake" transparent images, which purport to be transparent, but in fact contain a grey-and-white chequered background?<br>

Braughn F. G. Kryos — 29/04/2023 12:05<br>

For the purposes of illustrating a point, they are an excellent tool. However, literal transparency will never amount to faked transparency in my government. There will be no dancing about the issues: clear, concise, and simple will be the order of the day. After all...<br>

What is the greatest threat to our country? <br>

Braughn F. G. Kryos — 29/04/2023 13:22<br>

This is a simple enough question with a massively complicated answer. I shall attempt to be brief, concise, and clear.<br>

If I were to sit down and rank the issues facing the Republic, the first would be our economic status. We are the laughingstock of the international economic community. We all hold an equal share in the responsibility for the economic trouble we are currently in. There are many reasons for this, which I do not have time to get into nor do I desire to assign any blame.<br>

However, there is a plan in place to fix this threat. I have announced in my campaign that I will be focusing on labor unions, small and growing businesses, and our international trade sphere. Firstly, labor unions will be encouraged in companies that employ large numbers of Kodiakers. These unions will be empowered to negotiate fairly and equitably with their employers, but existing companies will be given the assurance of equitable negotiation. Secondly, small businesses will receive incentives to continue growing, such as tax breaks, employee credits, and appropriate subsidies. These investments from the government will earn a better economy for the future. Finally, I will fix our reputation on the international economic front by increasing our production of raw goods that can be sold on the international market, raising reasonable tariffs on imported goods to protect our domestic production from the over-flooding of foreign goods, and encouraging the exportation of our nation's plentiful natural resources to the nations that need them. <br>

Thank you very much for your question and I look forward to your support in the coming election. <br>

Why would the companies help the average citizen?<br>

Wouldn't they just care about there profit?<br>

Also will these jobs be low income or high income?<br>

Braughn F. G. Kryos — 29/04/2023 13:38<br>

Companies are created for the purposes of making profit; it is their purpose, much in the same way that your car is intended to drive you from point A to point B. However, that does not mean that companies cannot act in more than just profit, much in the same way that you car can have more than just tires and a driver's wheel. Companies incentivize brutal margins and backbreaking work from employees because they are taking advantage of workers. If those workers are given the rights to stand up for themselves, it is in the best interest of the company, including its profits, to negotiate. When faced with the specter of a strike or a picketing, companies will seek to protect their profits by negotiating with the workers. This is, to continue the metaphor, the AC system, the stereo, the heated seats, the environmentally friendly leather. Companies are intended to make profit, but that does not mean they cannot be incentivized into providing benefits, PTO, union equity, and safe, efficient workplaces.<br>

However, my government will not attempt to bend any company's arm by force, but rather make sure we can appropriately negotiate a equitable situation for all involved. Tax breaks are a huge incentive for large companies; these will be tied to the offering of benefits and negotiating with unions. <br>

Thank you for your excellent question.<br>

Please clarify what you mean. Which jobs are you mentioning here? If you are responding to my economic plan, the goal is to expand the entire economy. If more higher paying jobs are opening to accommodate the rising professional class, that is a sign of a healthy economy. I would hope that every Kodiaker would have the opportunity to fill a high income job, but I imagine that the realistic fact is that these jobs will be a wide range of low-, moderate-, and high-income jobs.<br>
