British civil servant

“Haven’t heard of internal splits yet, but the external environment is harsh enough. Labor is close to a hung parliament following October’s five-seat by-elections. In terms of polls, Callahanla Do not open the gap with the Conservative Party. As a result, you have also seen that the Labor Party dare not move at all.”

Alan Wilson replied softly, "Just because you don't move doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist. Even if the salary increase is stable this time, there will be more similar things in the future. You raise my salary and I will raise my salary. Everyone will raise their salary."

This is still based on the fact that the Conservative Party did not take the opportunity to attack, but news soon came from the House of Commons. The Conservative Party showed with practical actions that this time the Conservative Party really stood with the trade unions.

The Conservatives are also moving in the House of Commons to withdraw the sanctions over the government's sanctions against companies including Ford for breaching the 5.00% limit, although it has been delayed against a proposal to oppose the government's "arbitrary use of economic sanctions" to punish companies that agree with Labour. It was approved by 280 five to 270 nine votes, followed by 280 five to 280 three votes against the government sanctioning companies that exceed the "5.00% limit" for salary increases.

The next day Callahan launched a self-certifying vote of no confidence in his own government, staying in office by a vote of 290 to 5.00, which effectively made the government powerless to regulate or punish any company that violated the "[-]% limit".

"This winter seems to be colder than previous years." Alan Wilson stood by the window and looked at Pamela Mountbatten with a questioning look. "Honey, are you really not going to Perth for the winter this year?"

"I heard that according to last month's statistics, inflation has exceeded [-]%?" Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband nodding, "I'm in London at this time, and I can help you with some things. A vote of confidence, isn't it a relief?"

"So far, once a no-confidence vote is launched, it basically means that the problem is very serious. It is nothing more than how long the delay is. What I hope now is the itinerary of my visit to China." Alan Wilson answered slowly, Callahan's Dealing with the salary increase issue at once is really fed up with splint gas.

You can't let go of the pick before finishing the work, at least finish the visit to China after thinking about it.

In terms of international affairs, there is another incident that caught the attention of Whitehall, that is, some time ago, when the Pakistani border patrol was patrolling here, it was attacked by armed men from the direction of Afghanistan. The attack resulted in the death of four Pakistani soldiers on the spot.

This border is naturally the aftermath of the British attack on Afghanistan. It must be said that Afghanistan at that time was the second most powerful country in the world of the Peace Church, second only to the Ottoman Empire.

Although the British Expeditionary Force did not conquer Afghanistan, Afghanistan has since disappeared from the world of peace.

After Daoud was overthrown, although the new Afghan government planted Daoud for recognizing the Durand line, it may have just taken over the regime and has not yet taken any action against Pakistan.

But the momentum has already been created, but it is not known whether the Soviet Union is shaping the hostility between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It may be that the communists in Afghanistan have just seized power and are undergoing internal cleanup. Afghanistan is a country with a religion of peace. Normally speaking, communism cannot touch the Peace Church.

That's why when he visited Moscow, Alan Wilson resolutely told Alekseev that the territorial dispute must be used as a banner immediately after the overthrow of Daoud.You can't wait until the situation is stable to do so, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

Since the seizure of power, led by Nur Taraki.Under his leadership, some better reforms are happening, maybe better, but the Church of Peace doesn't think so.

Land was redistributed to farmers, and on Afghanistan's Independence Day, he launched the country's first television channel.He stopped the practice of unfair lending.He stopped buying brides.He also stripped the clergy of the Church of Peace of their powers.Girls are sent to school.

He was so anti-religious that religious elements in Afghanistan began to take a more extreme stance.There were two main political parties in Afghanistan at the time.Since their parliamentary electoral system.One pacifist, the other communist.

Now Nur Taraki is purging the Pax faction on the grounds that the Paxists are too close to Pakistan to make Afghanistan a puppet of Pakistan.As for whether it will be successful, it is not yet known.

At the end of December, a historic meeting was held in a certain big country. While observing secretly, Alan Wilson began to arrange the itinerary of the prime minister's visit to China, trying to harvest foreign dignitaries' visits to China after the meeting.

In this way, it can still catch the heat. It is a turning point in history and is of great historical significance. The visit of the British Prime Minister can add more historical significance.

First of all, it is necessary to solve the problems of the United Kingdom itself, at least temporarily suppress it, so that Callahan can visit with peace of mind. As I said before, the winter in Britain is extremely cold this year. What a hassle.

Snowfall has made roads impassable in some areas, North Devon can only communicate with the outside world by helicopter, two trains in Scotland have [-] people trapped in snow, all rugby games have been cancelled, and the Premier League New Year's schedule has only three games The game was played on time.

A strike by tanker drivers in December made matters worse, and many homes were left without even constant heating, all of which seemed to herald a political storm to come.

After the government had effectively lost control of the business, the unions moved into action.The truck drivers of the Transport and General Workers' Union went on strike demanding a 40.00% pay increase.

The Labor government has always backed down in the face of continuous strikes, and the consequences have already emerged. It promised wage increases, inflation increased, and the wage increases had no effect. The cycle of strikes demanding wage increases continued, just like what Whitehall said before. A game where the left foot steps on the right foot, and the inflation spirals to the sky.

Recalling the successful strike by Ford workers for a pay rise, the drivers decided to go on strike immediately to get better conditions. The truck drivers' strike led to the temporary closure of gas stations across the country and occupied several major cities. Ports make the shipping situation even worse.

"The workers are so inconsiderate of the government's difficulties." Alan Wilson, who came to No. [-] Downing Street, almost thought he had heard it wrong. The Prime Minister of the Labor Party made such comments on the brothers of the working class. Could it be that he listened to the bewitching of the Conservative Party?

Now that we know that continuous concessions can only make the trade union gain ground, think about how many strikes have occurred in recent years?Inflation in the UK is also striding towards the [-]% mark.

When Callahan saw Alan Wilson coming, he didn't hide anything. "The current demands of the trade unions are completely opposite to the government's measures to reduce inflation. Can Whitehall think of a way?"

I will answer this question, Alan Wilson said directly, "The increase in inflation is closely related to the strike of truck drivers. The strike of truck drivers has blocked the supply chain. Inflation can be called supply chain inflation."

This kind of thing happened in the United States under the Sleeping King, and then the term supply chain inflation was brought up. In short, the government is not responsible, but the truck drivers who are responsible for the supply chain have led to the increase in inflation.

"Prime Minister, your visit arrangements are ready. I will deal with the strike. First of all, we must clearly let all citizens know that the supply chain inflation is hurting the country's economy. Let citizens understand that continuous strikes are hurting the UK. The economy. If the government wants to take a tough attitude and not back down. Then it is best to negotiate when the Prime Minister is not in the country. You can also relax when you go abroad, and let us deal with the trade unions."

"Alan, can you handle it?" Callahan was really moved. His continuous concessions to the trade unions seemed to have brought the government into a vicious circle. Even if the trade unions were the main supporters of the Labor Party, he would endure enough. Not to mention a 40.00% salary increase, which is really too much.

"Someone has to do it." Alan Wilson shrugged, saying that this time, Whitehall absolutely implemented it [-]%, against the policy of not understanding the cabinet's difficulties.

In January [-], before the cold winter passed, Prime Minister Callaghan started a visit with far-reaching significance, and Alan Wilson started a dialogue with the representatives of this strike at the same time.

Chapter 520 Strike negotiation

"Contact the high commissioners from all over the country to recruit truck drivers within the Commonwealth. While negotiating, the domestic traffic lines must not be paralyzed. For special matters, all truck drivers who come to the mainland will be given visa-free passports." Alan Wilson passed The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an order, and then rushed to the negotiation site.

Almost immediately, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport was overcrowded. Even if it was a part-time job, the colonial government had already promised that the treatment would be the same as that of the mainland, and at the same time reimburse the round-trip travel expenses.

While Whitehall announced the start of negotiations with the trade unions, it also publicly accused the workers on strike. This strike will have an indelible impact on the British economy. The supply chain crisis caused by traffic paralysis will lead to inflation this year. High position, this responsibility is undoubtedly caused by the too harsh requirements of the workers.

Jack Jones, president of the Transport and General Workers' Union, was already waiting at the negotiation site, but the BBC's live broadcast first appeared. Alan Wilson undoubtedly gave the union great courtesy. You must know that this is the treatment of the House of Commons. , live broadcast from beginning to end, if Jack Jones, the union leader, performs well, he will definitely become famous in the UK.

Alan Wilson, Chairman of the Commonwealth Fund, Chairman of the Prosperity Foundation Burke Trend, John Hunter, Deputy Secretary of the Cabinet Armstrong, and Frank, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, left Whitehall and arrived at the negotiation site. This time It can be said that Whitehall is out in full force, expressing its importance to the strike that has caused traffic paralysis in the UK this time.

There is no doubt that the people present are all the leading figures in Whitehall, and any one picked out can be regarded as high-ranking and powerful. If the Soviet Union wants to call, they must choose a striking street lamp and hang it up.

Witnessed by the bbc live broadcast, Alan Wilson arrived first and sat directly in front of Jack Jones. On the left were the chairmen of the two major foundations in the UK, and on the right were the number two in Whitehall and the number one in the Ministry of Finance. , pulled the collar and said, "Then, let's start."

"About this strike of truck drivers." Jack Jones cleared his throat and began to explain the reasonable and legal demands of truck drivers, mentioning the importance to the country.

"When will you be able to drive a truck? It has already played an irreplaceable role." Alan Wilson dragged his chin and leaned forward. "Jack, why exaggerate the role of any group. This world is very realistic. Every group All can be replaced. In the era without trade unions, there are only trade unions of the era. After the war, all industries withered and citizens suffered from the pain of war. At that time, trade unions had their own role in protecting the interests of workers, but it does not mean that there is no bottom line now. It is also right to force the government to agree to unreasonable demands."

The unhurried and ugly face of the cabinet secretary also entered thousands of households through the live broadcast of the BBC. Jack Jones emphasized the reasonable demands of the truck workers. Alan Wilson believed that this demand was unreasonable. In the United Kingdom, all citizens feel the inconvenience of life.

Data statistics are an insignificant part of Whitehall's work. Of course, this is not a problem for Alan Wilson, and he directly used the damage assessment of this strike.

"The most infuriating thing is that the strikers are still attacking the tanker drivers who have been sticking to their posts, causing their lives and property to be damaged. You trade unions have not learned anything good in the Soviet Union. Not absolute is absolute disloyalty, but I have learned it very comprehensively."

Alan Wilson snorted coldly, and took the statistical data to say, "Who will bear the responsibility for the paralysis of oil refineries and gas stations? If Britain suffers from an energy crisis, it will undoubtedly be a major event comparable to the oil crisis, but this Is Britain the only country in the world that suffers losses at one time? If production is interrupted, shall we beg France and Germany to wait for us and not take advantage of the interruption of British production to snatch the market?"

80.00% of the logistics in the UK rely on road transport. There are already shortages of necessities such as food and medicine in some places, and they are already facing unprecedented snowstorms in the past ten years.I still have to endure hunger and hunger in the cold wind. Now it is [-], not [-].

Alan Wilson accused the truck drivers' strike supported by the trade union, which has dragged Britain back to the war period by himself. During the war period, at best, the food was not good, and the basic supplies were still sufficient. In addition to the shortage of supplies, it is a bigger problem than wartime.

This negotiation between Whitehall and the trade union was broadcast live on the BBC and entered thousands of households in the UK. The tit-for-tat scene between the two sides also aroused discussions among British citizens.

Among those who watched this negotiation was the current leader of the Conservative Party, Mrs Thatcher. She watched the BBC live broadcast at her home, and her daughter Carol Thatcher accompanied her mother, "He is the British Civilian chief."

"Carol, do you know him?" Mrs. Thatcher looked at her daughter inquiringly, and she seemed to know this person from what her daughter said.

"I've seen it a few times." Carol Thatcher replied shyly, "He's been to Queenswood School, and he seems to be looking for the headmaster."

"What is he doing at the girls' school?" Mrs. Thatcher didn't notice that her tone was close to screaming, which startled her daughter. Fortunately, the leader of the Conservative Party also reacted immediately, clearing his throat and teaching, "Carol, he is not as simple as he appears on the surface. Many problems in Britain now come from Whitehall."

Alan Wilson is dedicated to benefiting the society, so he naturally doesn't know that he is facing the slander of the leader of the Conservative Party. Fortunately, it is not just Mrs. Thatcher who is watching the live broadcast now.

Wives and ladies of the same status as wives are accompanied by their children full of love, watching men on TV, and showing that the country's bottom line is inviolable in front of trade union representatives.

Arnold happened to go home today, and was with his mother. He was not quite used to Pamela Mountbatten living in London in the winter, and then accompanied her to watch his father who spoke on TV, "It seems that father is not this time. Ready to compromise, this time the trade union demands are really too much."

"It's impossible to be uncompromising. Arnold, how much do you think your father can promise." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her son and asked, she was satisfied with several children.The daughter is a bit worrying, but the two sons are fine.

"The union is asking for a 40.00% salary increase, while the previous salary increase limit was 5.00%. These two standards are too far apart. It should be unrealistic for my father not to raise at all. It doesn't seem like my father's style to cut it in half. .”

Arnold weighed in with a thoughtful look. This is not to compare the appropriate salary increase, but to see how he knows his father better. "It's too much to cut it in half and increase it by 20.00%. I think my father can accept one-third of the salary increase request." One, that is, from the 40.00% salary increase requirement to 13.00%.”

"Are you sure?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her son approvingly, "How sure are you about the number you mentioned?"

"If it's someone else who is negotiating, then of course I'm not sure. But since the negotiating is my father, from what I know about my father, this number is at least half possible." Arnold replied calmly, "Half is impossible, yes Others may be an achievement, but my father will definitely not be satisfied with a 20.00% salary increase. And to be honest, the truck drivers who went on strike this time are indeed a lion's mouth, from 5.00% directly to 40.00%, which is too much."

"It's selfish to satisfy one particular group of workers with a wage increase at the cost of hurting the UK economy as a whole. Not to mention attacking tanker drivers who don't go on strike and continue to benefit society."

Alan Wilson knocked on the table and accused, "Great Britain is committed to creating a fair social environment. Please remember that fairness is not equality. There are differences in individual abilities, just as there are no identical people in this world. Some industries His wages are indeed low, and we never deny this, because the industry he is in can only give such wages."

"If workers in one industry go on strike today, we have to promise a wage increase. If you don't agree, you will tie up the entire British economy. Then I must make a stern response to this matter. If you fail to achieve your goal, there may be no one willing to fight. Seeing the consequences. I would like to add that besieging tanker workers is a crime, and no matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, the criminals who hurt the tanker workers will definitely be punished by law.”

"Sir, you seem to regard the workers as the enemy of England." Jack Jones implied menacingly. "You know, they are the masters of England."

"There is such a saying. However, the owner of the UK, this time the strike group can only represent a part. As for how big this part is, it is still a number that is not easy to estimate." Alan Wilson replied slowly, " I have one thing to disclose now, and I believe citizens are also very concerned about this negotiation, John..."

John Hunter nodded and said, "In view of the fact that the local transportation is currently in a state of paralysis, in order to immediately solve the shortage of materials in some areas. From the perspective of assistance, the Commonwealth will provide assistance within its capacity to the problem of material difficulties. The British Empire There are still many ports in hand, and a group of truck drivers will come to the mainland to solve the traffic paralysis problem. They may come from Hong Kong, Singapore, Perth and other places. Because of the supply chain inflation caused by the strike, I believe it can be obtained to a certain extent. above relief."

"Citizens affected by the strike, please wait patiently. The government is working on solving this problem." Alan Wilson said after John Hunter's statement, "As for the strike issue, we will continue to be open to negotiations, but absolutely not Accept unreasonable demands."

The first thousand and 520 chapters

After leaving the negotiation site, reporters from major newspapers had already gathered outside. Obviously, their purpose of waiting here was to hope that the secretary-general of the cabinet would give them big news.

"This round of confrontation is unreasonable. This winter has been extremely cold, and now gas stations everywhere are overcrowded, filled with cars waiting to refuel. This kind of strike at every turn to threaten the government is outrageous."

Alan Wilson expressed the government's unanimous view into the microphone expressionlessly, "If wages are raised without enough supplies, it will only cause prices to skyrocket. Higher prices and higher inflation are inevitable, but the trade unions obviously don't listen to our explanation."

After Alan Wilson finished speaking, he got up and asked Armstrong to continue to deal with reporters. Before the truck drivers who arrived in the mainland from overseas were not in place, the areas with shortage of supplies could not be allowed to wait.

At this time, the department that can best demonstrate its executive power is the military. The work of communicating with the media is handed over to the Deputy Secretary-General. Alan Wilson went directly to the Ministry of Defense. Since Prime Minister Callaghan is visiting, the Secretary of Defense It is proposed to adopt a decision to mobilize the military to supply local fuel and temporarily maintain the smooth flow of the road system.

Even if the army is used to control the refinery and carry out fuel transportation, the implementation of this plan requires the declaration of a state of emergency to pass the takeover of the oil company. It is appropriate to declare this on the grounds of natural disasters. The Secretary of Defense has doubts about this. "The existing domestic military is not enough to complete such a huge replacement."

"We haven't let the army replace the truck drivers all the time. It's just for disaster relief. Could it be that our army can't even complete the disaster relief work?" Alan Wilson said, "Overseas truck drivers will come soon. Once they land, we Replacing will be arranged, honorable ministers, what is the situation now, what the trade unions are opposing is their representative Labor Party, and the continuous retreat will only allow the trade unions to make progress, this time asking for a salary increase of 40.00%, what about next time?"

"Don't say nonsense that there will be no next time. Strikes have become more frequent in recent years, and the demands they have made have become more and more unacceptable. The strangest thing is that those strikers who claim to be proletarians don't know what a proletarian is. Just use a term and shout it in front of the government.”

"The top priority is to hope that citizens will express their support for the government's actions to restore the supply chain. This cannot be delayed because the prime minister is visiting abroad. I think ministers should have the ability to govern the country."

Alan Wilson expounded Whitehall's views on the current situation. It is freezing cold, and there are certainly a lot of workers on strike. Are there not many citizens who accompany the strikers to pay the price in this cold winter?

Since we are convinced that the demands made by the strike are unreasonable demands, then in an electoral country, another kind of public opinion must be allowed to suppress the public opinion of the strike.

The cabinet then decided to implement a state of emergency in the future and use the army to carry out the transportation of necessary supplies. The unions accepted a list of essential goods and released them for the army to transport them.At the same time, anti-strike demonstrations also broke out in Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, and some workers hoped to stop the strike and return to work.

During Prime Minister Callaghan's visit to China, Allen Wilson, in the name of Whitehall, commanded the military to withstand the paralysis of the roads caused by the strike, and fought a protracted war with the trade unions on this basis.

"Victory will make us!" Alan Wilson didn't just comfort his Whitehall colleagues, but a large number of overseas civil servants in Xiangjiang and Malaya had returned at the same time as the recruited truck drivers.

Local civil servants cannot communicate with the recruited truck drivers due to language problems, but fortunately, the family of civil servants is not limited to locals.

The strike in the United Kingdom is actually not a big news internationally. The big news that the world is most concerned about at present is the exile of the Pahlavi. The large-scale protests in Iran have begun as early as last year, but Alan Wilson Spectators, there are no extensive British interests in Iran, and they were all taken back by Mossadegh, so what do you care about?

It is the private territory of the United States, and attention is also asking for trouble. If Pahlavi particularly offends religion, he may have wronged the Shah of Iran, but to say that Pahlavi always angers the Peace Church on the spiritual level is absolutely it is true.

The Shah’s regime held the celebration of the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire in Persepolis in [-]. It was criticized as extravagant. celebrations, some Iranians are even still starving."

Five years later, the king changed the first year of the Iranian Gregorian calendar from the first year of the Peaceful Islamic calendar to the year when Cyrus II of the Persian Empire ascended the throne, so that "Iran changed from [-] to [-] in the Islamic calendar overnight." Jump to [-] of the imperial calendar", which angered the devout Iranian peace believers.

His Majesty the King did not use the government he controlled to persecute religious scholars, but Pahlavi always suppressed religion.

This is equivalent to that Pahlavi did not show his incomparable military strength, but he always scolded religion from time to time, purely spiritual attacks.

If it was another presidential term, Pahlavi could completely wipe out the opposition with the support of the United States, but unfortunately, this is President Carter’s term. If it weren’t for Carter, the Iranian revolution would not have happened so easily. Big wind and waves.

The United States believes that if the Pahlavi dynasty is overthrown, the new republican government will also choose to be pro-American. After all, Iran and the Soviet Union are neighboring countries. The Soviet Union and the predecessor of the Soviet Union, Imperial Russia, have trampled on Iran's dignity.

Even if Iran breaks away from the monarchy, the new Iranian government will choose to continue to be pro-American. After all, the example of Afghanistan is already ahead, and the Iranians will definitely be very vigilant about the status quo in Afghanistan.

The whole process of changes in the situation in Iran can be regarded as an earlier version of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which lasted for more than a year, but the United States finally got rid of it.

This is also the reason why the United States has repeatedly promised to stabilize the situation in the Soviet Union after the instability of the Soviet Union. Because of the example of Iran, the United States really cannot guarantee whether the new government will become more anti-American.

The Soviet Union was really taken down by the pro-American faction. This result even shocked the US President Bush Sr. This world is so wonderful.

Now that Pahlavi has just gone into exile, the United States may still be full of expectations for the new government, thinking that the road ahead of Iran has no choice but to be pro-American.

As for the United Kingdom, they are not interested in the changes in Iran. Even if the second oil crisis comes, it is the responsibility of the United States, and the United Kingdom still has its own things to do.

For example, while dealing with strikes, discuss the internal affairs of other countries, such as the establishment of the general line of reform and development of "operating in accordance with the market mechanism, managed by the state, adhering to the direction of socialism, and a commodity economy with multiple components."

"The Prime Minister's visit is coming to an end. In fact, for the UK, if the current opportunities can become a beneficiary, there is no doubt that we will return to the traditional market." Alan Wilson and the chairmen of the two foundations discussed the issue of returning to the traditional market.

Who said that the relationship between the UK and a certain big country is very bad, and as for the withdrawal of British-owned industries, isn’t that a tragedy caused by the times and an unfortunate change in the development of the two countries?

That can be an unfortunate change, but also at the right time, can be the beginning of a golden age.

"We have also found that the relationship between China and Japan is hot." John Hunter pondered, "As the Secretary-General said, our competitor in Asia has been Japan for at least the last 30 years."

"The attitude of suppressing the yen at the Jamaica meeting is beneficial to the development of the relationship between the two countries today. What can the yen do? It can only buy expensive Japanese goods. At least for now, the pound can still buy what is needed in many countries. of."

Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Our advantage is that we have a good relationship with rich Chinese in Asia. I think patriotic overseas Chinese still have a lot of face, which is also good for Britain, and it is the same in all aspects."

for example?There is no need for this. For example, if a talent who has been trained for more than ten years comes to the UK, there is a 90.00% possibility that he will never want to go back.The cost of training is not borne by the UK, and the talents trained serve the UK. Isn't this the UK's advantage?

This is just a tiny example. In fact, this step is inevitable. As long as the country is opened, this kind of thing will happen. There is no shortcut, and there will be no exceptions anywhere. Most of the top ten Hong Kong sisters in Xiangjiang are not If you have immigrated, you are married to a foreigner or an overseas Chinese, but some places move faster, and some places move slower.

In this world, there is no such thing as both need and need. Some hardships must be endured, and even a big country is not ranked in the brain drain problem. A big country with a strong voice is the benchmark country.

The result of the three people's discussion was that the general reserve team did not move!Let the rich Chinese in Malaya and Xiangjiang take the lead and establish connections from the perspective of blood thicker than water. While the rich Chinese are expanding their connections, British-funded enterprises must also be prepared to return to the traditional market and create a new way for the development of innovation and opening up. force.

Back home, Allen Wilson put his arms around the body of the richest woman and asked, "Are you interested in visiting China this year?"

"I'm just a businessman, dear." Pamela Mountbatten replied with her head tilted. "You seem to have said that the status of businessmen in the Eastern World is not high."

"There are always gaps that can be inserted. You will definitely receive unprecedented attention when you go there. It will be more suitable for you to arrange when Su Yang and the others bring good news." The supreme authority replied firmly. It will indeed cause some people to have wrong values, such as elevating foreign companies to the point where they should not be. This is the best time. British-funded companies are moving in at this time, and whatever favorable conditions are available, everything is easy to talk about.
