In the economic situation at the moment, you just have to cut down on some luxuries, such as calling elements by their complete names!

No more funding for us, we just gotta stop wasting all the money we're putting in em already. Yesterday was voting day, and only one levy(.25%) passed, all others we voted down. We deff don't need more funding, we need less wasting. But this is becoming political now, so I'll stop.

Ha, I just noticed how I said "em", instead of them..wow, we do like making things simpler..
