| Message | This bill will give rise to unsafe working conditions, poor pay and worsening of employment necessities such as insurance, holidays, maternity leave and sick pay. As far as we can see this can only lead to unhappiness, something I'd have expected the FTP to vote against not propose. |

| Message | The whole point of Seldonism is to train a person to a career that they will love because they are conditioned to love it. Thus doing what they have been conditioned to do will be what they love to do. This is one of the most basic laws of Seldonism. Community, Identity, Stability |
