Economic Minister Alexi and myself hereby announce a new campaign to eliminate excess "capitalist" baggage from our economy, no doubt against wastage inserted by our capitalist wreckhers. 
We unofficially began the campaign against sewers, as the modern Soviet man does not need plumbing. 
We shall continue against excess banks, and possibility libraries and universities, as the modern Soviet man may not need books as well.
However, our first target is a crackdown against excess capitalist marketplaces. As an emergency measure, I sold three wasteful marketplaces to support the Ukranian Front, but many still exists. (49 to be exact, costing us 98 per turn). They cost 2 rubles to maintain, and selling them will bring in 60 rubles.
For the first part of the campaign I intend to be selective. I only plan action against marketplaces that bring in a revenue of 1 additional ruble, but cost 2 rubles to maintain. Marketplaces which bring in 2 or more additional rubles I intend to exempt, as they pay for themselves, and I can keep them as a reserve if things get bad without harming our finances.
However, another thing to keep in mind is that these small cities can be growing quite rapidly, so a marketplace sold today yielding 1 extra ruble could be giving us 3 extra rubles a year from now.
I have purposefully kept the poll simple to keep it meaningful. I invite general comments on whether the public considers this a wise course of action or not.
More specifically, I will shortly post a list of marketplaces in cities I am thinking about selling, and I invite comments from any micromanagers ou there on these particular sales, pro or con. Also, you may propose to sell a marketplace I have overlooked, though you must supply a reason.
PS: For selling marketplaces in front cities, I assume I must contact the front commander. However, for cities not on the front, who do I contact. The armaments minister?
