《Idealism》The Start of Change (6)
Advertisement
"Are there any more questions?" Joseph asks.
"None I can think of at the moment." Similar responses repeat themselves in the chat.
"Then we shall start with the problem solving." The Assistant pulls up a convenient satellite image of the US. Joseph manipulates it through the computer. "Do we have records of anyone else buying the land, and of which land is deemed worthy of developing?"
The neccessary documents are pulled up. They review it. Then they discuss.
...
Eventually, they come to a consensus.
"To re-affirm, in every state we survey how many homeless there are, strictly towards this criteria," Joseph points to a picture being projected onto the whiteboard behind him, "within 1 month, otherwise the salary of everyone related will be cut by 75%, and anyone who does not follow the criteria or blame others for their mistakes will be demoted. The number of homeless will be rounded up by the thousands, as in that even 1001 will be rounded to 2000, and that a building following this design, which I will forward to each of you shortly, is to be bulit for every 1000 of the homeless."
Joseph had come prepared with the architecture design and guidelines.
"Please follow the architectural guidelines. Between besmirching my reputation, which I don't even know why anyone would do that, considering that the government would be under fire as well, and lives lost, lives that are just not a number, I'm saying lives of people that live and breathe, who are made of our very same flesh and blood, who have memories just like us, and may have family as well, have dreams, have aspirations-" Joseph takes a breath, "Between the potential and devastation of lives lost and besmirching my reputation, lives are much, much more valuable. Do not cut corners. Money...You can't bring money with you to the afterlife.

As for the question of where we build them..." Joseph catches sight of a message. "No, 75% is not too harsh. If you make a mistake, that's even more money that are going to be lost on correcting a mistake that you could have very well prevented by not being lazy.
Back to the question..."
Joseph delegates the duties. As he tells the now responsible for X duty parties so, he states, "Please. Do this properly. Do you really want to be the only one who failed and brought down the entire operation? There is so little reward for failing, and so much for succeeding."
Then, Joseph catches sight of a question posed by a Rob Spel. "No such thing as unskilled labour? Good question." He scratches his head. "We also have to educate them to learn skills. Going back to the earlier idea," He flips the whiteboard to show the earlier scribbles, "I thought of subsidising costs for companies, right?"
He catches a sight of the questions he had wrote down. "Ah, this is good. I can deal with several of the questions here as well."
"Nationalising industries and subsiding costs of new startup companies, startup defined as within a year of the policy, not that the policy had been made yet, just articulating, haha," He coughs.
"Nationalising industries and subsidisng costs of start up companies will lead to more jobs. However, these jobs may not be suited for, or rather, some people will not be suited for these new jobs. For example," He thinks for a while, "For example, if a startup company needs a secretary, there may not necessary be people from the homeless that has that set of particular skills, even from other states nearby. Therefore, we also have to teach them new skills. Computers? We might need to set up workshops, but even then some people may not want to go... Compulsory? Compulsory to attend at least one session of a night college or something similar?" Joseph stares down at the notebook in his hand, lost in his thoughts.

"But some people wouldn't like some jobs, but... necessity above want? Stop lowering requirements for entering higher levels of school, and instead establish more establishments for teaching people how to do things with their hands? But no one wants to enter such a place, although inevitably there would be some, but is it enough to fill up the slots...? Anyone else have any ideas?"
Chat says no. Jospeh chuckles bitterly, and looks at the clock. "We still have time. We can come back to this later. 3rd question..."
They spend more time discussing.

Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ Sequel found here. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26444/rehammer-the-hammering

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.

A Different Kind of God
The city that never sleeps is one like no other. You could look at the wolves on Wallstreet trying to make a buck or you could look at the more fun things, the more supernatural things. There are all manner of these things in the underbelly of New York whether it be gods, demons, monsters, or even vampires. Now, where does Liam fit in? ... This is a Percy Jackson/Elderscrolls Fanfic I came up with in my free time. After writing 16 chapters I had some people DM me about co-posting it to different sites. Currently, I have it up over on Fanficiton.net and Spacebattles but as I saw this site allows fanfiction, and I use this site a lot, I decided to start posting it here as well. Feel free to enjoy it or hate it, I'm just writing to have some fun. If you're wanting to read it on either of those two sites I have the same name on both.
