《Idealism》The Start of Change (5)
Advertisement
The discussion starts.
"1st, we have infrastructure projects being built in the low-income households right now. The shortest requires another month, and the longest requires at least, if my memory does not fail me, a year and approximately a half."
Joseph remains quiet, and motions for whoever is speaking to continue.
"2nd, where would we build your... cheaper apartment buildings? In the very same households that need them? Where would they go while its being built?
Joseph motions for them to stop. He says, "Sorry, let me write down your questions." He starts writing.
"3rd, what would the terms of the policy to lower the price of houses be?
4th, where would we even find someone, or a warrant, or even a reason to search through the records of the hospitals?
5th, what if there is no such eviedence that the hospital raised the prices, or anything along that line?
6th, how far should the minimum wage be raised?
7th, how will you allow employers to have more money at hand to pay their employees?
8th, how would you ensure that employers do not take the money for themselves?
9th, well, this isn't really a question, but are we supposed to brainstorm the new jobs for the mentally and physically now...?"
Joseph looks up. "We can do that later. Is that all of your questions?"
"No. 10th, how would you begin to lessen the reasons for people to do crime? Even then, what about the ex-convicts that are already out there?
11th, how would you lower the qualification for jobs? You can't just go into companies and start asking them to lower their qualifications.
12th, will you share your thoughts on nationalising industries and providing incentives and subsidies? And, if so, when?
13th, even if the app to report domestic abuse works, what do we do to the offenders and the victims?

14th, where would you build the facilities to work against addiction? Even then, how would you ensure that people will come over and be willing to talk to the workers there?
15th, what would the terms of the Brexit deal be?
16th, do you understand the implications of making a livestream that essentially strongarms billionaires into giving money to the government?
17th, do you know how many scientists we have working on weapon projects right now? And how high their yearly cost of living is?"

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

Follow his ragtag group of outlanders as they waddle through the tense situation brought on by the shortage of supplies and overabundance of enemies in the war-torn kingdonf of Ecragurne. After a considerable amount of nagging by a few precious friends, I chose to share this (once complete and utter mess) book project with you as a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge. As I am not a native English speaker or professional writer, you can expect a few grammar issues along the way despite my best efforts to clean up my writing. Hence, I wellcome any comments with the intent of helping me getting better (within reasons of course).
