    One thing to note about the tax situation is lewis is clearly stealing from it since he builds a gold statue of himself and other evidence

      @@sodorart Also he is basically lifetime mayor. We dont really get elections. The museum has no objects, there is a whole bathhouse and train station that is basically blocked through a landslide with no plan to fix it. Meaning people cant come or leave by train and the bus is also broken down till we fix it. Basically making it harder to get revenue through tourism. Like we know there are town festivals that bring in outside npcs. But fixed public transport may bring more tourists and therefore needed money. As they dont really have an industry around Tourism may be their only way to get revenue. At least outside of farming but even then we dont know how much taxes we pay and how much ends back in the town.

      @@sodorart Honestly would be interesting to know more about the setting. We know we are in some republic and that pelican town gets visits from a governor a higher ranking political figure on the regular. So may be that pelican town is surrounded by similar towns and villages and is basically just the hub of the region or used to be. Also a reason joja may be there. Because a large corporation follows profits. They would just leave if there were non. Maybe its the only joja in the county so other villagers and towns go there for shopping too.

    Okay, so we know that mayor Lewis said that he was the one that was picking up the things that we sell. I believe that there is a hidden benefactor involved and I think that it is Mr. Qi, and that he is the one with all the money that we get. Everyone else prospers through us the farmer based on what we do. I think that in an alternate future timeline if we the farmer never showed up to inherit Grandpa's farm, then the whole town would have eventually foreclosed and be bought up as real estate to Joja Co. Somehow, Grandpa and Mr. Qi knew that this could happen and we the farmer had been tested to see how far we could go to make a change to not just the town but the whole community.

      Interesting !! I wholeheartedly agree. We, the farmer, are truly the savior of Pelican Town and without us, the town would suffer greatly.

    So we can save Pelican Town in 5 easy steps?
    1) Marry Shane
    2) Restore Community Center
    3) Become Mayor
    4) Pay Robin build some more buildings, for businesses and living spaces
    5) Turn Pelican Town into mental health retreat. It is for the most part isolated, and everyone in town can contribute with their businesses/hobbies. It would also be known for therapy/emotional support chickens.

    i like the theory that we are there from the government to investigate mayor lewis. think about it he has the money to make a gold statue but cant fix the community center or the bus to the desert? also the museum had everything "stolen" but we dont hear anything about going after them. maybe thats a cover story. also think about how much money you spend in town and still nothing gets done or even talked about they have money from taxes to spare.

    • @sodorart
      @sodorart  Місяць тому +7

      Yeah honestly, the golden statue is so wild to me. And yeah, our farmer moves in and we produce SO much money and spend it, completely revitalizing the local economy, and we really don't see the fruits of that via taxes

    With how small Pelican town is i doubt there's enough tax money to get anything going there's like six businesses? the grocers, the clinic, Robins carpentry, Clints smithy, the bar, and the fishery and they're all struggling to make ends meet (not to mention Lewis building a gold statue of himself but maybe that comes from gold from the mines? or possibly a gift from Marnie since the statue can end up at her house if you place it in town) most of their money probably comes from the fact that they're a tourist destination with the various festivals and probably government checks, which is probably why Mayor Lewis trys so hard to impress the governer in hopes they'll get some money for the town. On the other hand, a lot of money leaves the towns economy Joja hires one guy who lives in town and the rest of their profits is going back to the corporation and the night market that comes through takes that money with them when they leave. it isn't put back into the economy
    So yeah Pelican towns done for EXCEPT
    in comes the farmer that's inherited enough land to cover half the town who becomes a big spender at all theses business they need seeds to plant crops that go right to that grocer, they need their tools worked on, their house fixed up, they need medical care if they overwork themselves in the field, and they fish as a hobby, and drink with their friends in the evenings and every year they turn profit after profit putting that money back into the economy every gold the farmer makes doesn't leave pelican town (unless you go the joja route or pop in on the night market)
