It is like that now everywhere, he could say, but doesn't. For if there's one thing Gabriel Tam has learned in the past weeks, it's that there's a great deal more resistance than he'd expected, from some areas that might euphemistically be called 'disadvantaged.'
It had made sense, when he'd thought about it. It's part of the reason there'd been a Unification War to begin with; it's part of how humanity operates. Not everyone wants the same things, he's always been well aware of that, and not everyone sees an offer of help as an improvement. Sometimes it's viewed as insulting. It's something he'd learned in some of the more remote negotiations he'd done as a new associate with Birnam Corp., and it's only been hammered home to him again now.
And in the end, there's only one thing to say -- one thing that's right to say, and the same thing that he's been repeating in different settings for some time, now.
"The IIGA will offer opportunity, a chance, and a choice; it's not a requirement, for those who'd rather not take advantage of it."
