Just sent in this issue, wanted to know if you people think its any good. This is my first attempt at submitting an issue so if its really sucky... well, tell me, so I'll know what not to write in the future.
Description: Local business owners have rallied together to request that children under the age of 10, who are often quite unruly, be banned from their establishments.
Options:
[option]"Kids are kids. They're just being cute," says Susie LaRue, representative of MABB (Mothers Against Big Business). "Not only should we allow all young children to visit any place of business, we should encourage parents to take their kids everywhere with them."
[effect]young children are often seen crowding local businesses
[option]"I have to pay three of my waitresses overtime just to clean up the messes that these kids make," argues restaurant owner @@RANDOMNAME@@. "I don't really care if they're allowed in other places, but keep them out of restaurants! Nobody wants to eat in a place filled with screaming kids who are throwing food all over the place."
[effect]young children are banned from restaurants
[stats]any food-related industry lowers slightly
[option]"Every day I come to work I have to deal with another annoying kid screaming in my ear," complains @@RANDOMNAME@@, a cashier at a popular chain of organic grocery stores. "If they're not vomitting on something, they're stealing it and the parents just don't seem to care. We don't need things like this in respectable places of business."
[effect]young children are banned from being in commercial buildings of any sort
[stats]major industry lowers slightly
[option]"I'm fine with keeping the kids out of businesses, but for some of us it can be hard to find a place to put them while we're out shopping," says single parent @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Please, at least institute some government-run daycare. Sure we may have to raise taxes a bit for this, but it can be an increase just for the wealthy."
[effect]many young children spend the majority of their lives in daycare
[stats]income tax rises for wealthy, major industry lowers slightly
[option]"Why, this is a grand idea!" exclaims Police Chief and Military Activist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "But while we're at it, let's go one step further. We shouldn't just keep these annoying brats out of businesses, but keep them out of the public entirely. We can reap the benefits of cutting back on schools since they'll all be homeschooled, and parents will finally be able to spend more time with their kids!"
[effect]young children are very rarely seen in public
[stats]crime is lowered, school funding is lowered greatly, major industry is lowered slightly
