Only a counter-revolutionary could see empty rhetoric and grandiose posturing in our announcement. Although such is to be expected when you're fighting against a majority religion, especially one as anti-human as capitalism.

RAEC, as you may recall, was a peaceful mining/industry company based out of the Ammatar Mandate. As such, we got tired of wetnosed snots constantly threatening to attack us because we were Amarrian and looked like easy prey. After most of the other miners got scared off by this happening over & over we finally just said "Screw it" and decided to throw in with some muscle.

I still maintain good standings with both the Empire and the Mandate, in case you were wondering, and my CONCORD rating has stayed on the positive side of the chart. I mostly work in the Salvation Angels department, which does (surprise!) mining and industry... along with occasional PR/charity work. While most "outlaw" corps see everyone as victims, I still see them as potential customers. Auntie and I are still businesswomen, first and foremost. Though I am finally learning which end of a blaster is supposed to point towards the other person, so that's a perk.

My views haven't changed much except for this: If CONCORD can be so easily bought off by any wannabe terrorist tossing a few ISK at them then whatever little faith in them I had left after Jarizza is gone. If the government won't protect it's own people then we'll just have to do whatever it takes to protect ourselves.

Unions are bad for business.

It's all fun, games and annual leave entitlements until some back-water, non-union Matari chop-shop manages to do the job for half the cost.
