If OcUK was a country what would it be like?

Scary thought :D

I imagine it would have preferential import taxes for BMW's and Cornish Pasties.

0% VAT on all PC hardware.

40% VAT on all non-overclockable hardware, this means Apple Mac's would be a rare sight.

Every citizen would take a private detective and crime scene forensics/analysis course, before age 16.

All roads would be 100% pot hole free. And would be made of the highest quality racetrack-grade tarmac.

100% VAT on all unbranded "ditchfinder" road tyres.

Official government documents would use the word "PermaBanned" instead of "deported" or "life imprisonment".

The airports and sea ports would have a "returnee" queue, and it be supervised with armed guards.

I've always dreamt of buying a large island and creating my own version of a perfect culture. No currency, completely state-run with every job being equal. The better jobs would require greater dedication but would be more fun like game design.

I've found a flaw with this. Why do the hard or heavy training jobs, for nothing extra. I might as well just do something easy.

Well thats very few jobs. Most of the population do nit like there jobs. You can not have such a system. It just doesn't work.
What happens if you need to increase. Production. Sorry you have to work 10hours more, for nothing extra.
I hate my job and as I'm not getting anything from it, I might as well do as little as possible.

Who's going to study for a decade to build and maintain robots for the same pay as a shop keeper.

Not gonna happen.

you seen where most septic tanks are? there's a reason they aren't done by robots now and it's not just cost.


but I'm glad your "super supper human replacement ai will be invented" approach is still going strong.



Who going to do the heavy manual labour making the bits to make those robots?

Who's going to mine the ore and drill the oil, process it, clean and maintain the machinery do tedious front line call support for when the computers break?

Who is going to clean the robots that clean septic tanks?

what happens when the people capable of doing the complicated exceptional jobs don't want to?

And you don't have the current system of just paying huge sums to get them into it, so your doctors go off and becoem gardeners or school teachers and you're only left with keen but substandard people + a couple of good ones but not enough to meet demand?


Note the short answers, since we've been over this countless times before.

You havn't noticed that most people who've posted in here have gone "lol right wing heheh" despite the few to non right wing suggestions and mostly left wing?


You out number them so it would be like labour Britain/a very big state based country.
