Why do Hello Kitty bandages not heal wounds?

This question has dogged humanity for millennia. If elected to the LC I will devote every necessary and available resource to resolve this dilemma once and for all. We shall spare no expense: even if it means the local council has to sleep under benches and our delegate is reduced to living a palm-thatched cabanna on the beach. Well that or I might ineptly attempt to use one to ineffectively heal the dead in our RMB.

Well that's not good, we are a cultural exchange training and recruitment corporation, we work with governments and other companies, in order to fill labour force numbers or help with specialised training.

For Example, our staff could train your people to work in Agalaesia and vice versa, same goes for say if
Agalaesia weakest economic sector is engineering, we would be able to pay you ourselves to train their engineers to a higher standard and vice versa.

Of course it would be cheaper for both nations to contract us to do this recruitment and training, it would be cheaper all around.
