    Anytime I’ve done some world building in my head for the great human empire :tm: it involves some sort of rotational labor period in each citizens early 20’s to give them exposure to a few different styles of work

    It’s a nice way to give back to the community while also getting to see how the rest of the world lives

    I’m sure there’s flaws with it but sounds a hell of a lot better than what we have now

      I genuinely believe everyone should serve some sort of customer service role at least once in their life.

        Except the American response to this would be to be extra shitty to retail workers since customers were shitty to them during their tour.

          That’s not how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes work. It’s the opposite.

            Many Americans believe that the new guys have to suffer, like they had to, and that it’s the suffering that unites us. Many don’t seem to be ok with being the last ones that suffer so the next don’t have to, which is seen as unfair. At least that’s been my experience living over here.

              That’s a really unfortunate philosophy because at best it guarantees things never improve
