      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.

                “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.”
