In the meantime in Gotham City...


Gotham City is getting older. And as an old city, needs more care... everywhere! The gothamcitians cannot provide their own welfare, the state has collapsed, the pensioners are asking about their money, the money they have been paying all their life and now the government says it can't afford paying everybody...

"Collect more taxes" said someone from the inner circles of power. "Increase the state pension age", said another one, "Bilked it to a certain extent", others. Suddenly, from the back of the room, someones shouted loudly, "Let the foreigners pay it!". First a silent, followed by a rumour, and then a chorus:

"Let the foreigners pay it!" "Let the foreigners pay it!" "Let the foreigners pay it!" "Let the foreigners pay it!"

The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) rose the acquiring an immigration card from free (yes, it was free till 2006!) to €100, and then to €150.

As the price hike doesn't affect the gothamcitians, ewverything is fine in the Gotham CVity Kingdom...
