The Issue:
@@NAME@@'s last remaining toy distributor, Toys'4'all, is closing its doors forever after being unable to pay off the overwhelming debt obligations to it's latest owners that had promised to right the ship and save the company. Now parents and children across @@NAME@@ may be left with nowhere to buy the newest self-chewing gumball machine, robo-@@NATIONALANIMAL@@s or tiddlywinks - not to mention all the @@DENONYM@@s who will lose their jobs while the owners cash in on sales of the companies assets.
The Debate:
- 1) "Save Toys'4'all!" chants @@RANDOMNAME@@, a sales clerk on the verge of losing their job as the media surround the toy distributors Flagship @@NATIONALANIMAL@@-shaped store in @@CAPITAL@@ searching for the next attention grabbing headline; "Can't the government step in and save our company? Think of all the Children! And my paycheck!"
Result: The government is too busy reacting to breaking headlines to worry about passing important legislation.- 2) "@@LEADER@@ has no business interfering with private industry!" says @@CAPITAL@@ University Economics professor @@RANDOMNAME@@; "If Toys'4'all can't stay afloat on their own then they were either run by buffoons or were stocking the shelves with tiddlywinks that customers didn't want to begin with! If there is still a demand for these toys then I'm sure we'll have no problem getting them imported from Bumbleland in the future... at a cost!"
Result: Unemployed @@DENONYM@@s regularly relocate near the border for access to essential goods that are only available as imports.- 3) "It's for the best!" says @@NAME@@, a blogger specializing in minimalist ideology, "One less big-box store trying to tell us what we need to find happiness in our lives. But why stop there? Children don't need video game systems or robo-@@NATIONALANIMAL@@s anyway. Banning all toys would force children to develop a love for books, music and painting instead!"
Result: Parents are often spotted in dark alleys buying the latest Toys at exorbitant prices.
Changed the proposed names from "Taking Toys from Toddlers" to "Taking Toys from Tots"
