4. Excellent! I'm outsourcing my rattan vine gathering to children in Guatamala
where they're paid 4 cents a day and their overlor...er, "management team" is given a bonus for giving beatings that don't hurt productivity. I'm gonna be so rich!

5. It would be a mistake to put all our economic eggs in one wicker basket.
We'll have to diversify. We cannot ignore the important market for concrete-hulled cargo ships.

6. Can't we start out with a wick-based economy first.
Sort of a trial balloon. Then after a few decades we can propose a public wicker option.

10. I think it better to use a wicker co-op with a possible wicker trigger
Think of the free market!

12. I agree. If we move too quickly it would destabilize the entire wicker industry.
Say, do you want to see my new pictures of Bo?

22. And suddenly underwater basket weaving seems like a smart field to be in
All those kids who thought they wasted their lives majoring in that during undergrad will surely get behind your plan.
