        It is true: “Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia.” Or something along those lines.

            The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don’t care about others.

                  They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:

                  “Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You’ve been warned.”
