Ladies and gentlemen, subjects of our grand nation.
We have come today to serve and protect you. We are here thinking your and our nations best interest. We, the government, are once again giving you advice on how you should live to be able to take the best use of your life.
News on economy
Members of the ministry have found out people using alternative currencies, which are not followed by the government. This is neither safe or legal.
We all know that alternative currencies are used in illegal activities, like for drugs, tax evasion or animal abuse. If you are using alternative currencies, you are supporting animal abuse. In addition to this, anyone found out to be using alternative currencies can be jailed and all property owned by them and their family can be taken in government possession.
Honest people do not need alternative currencies. They do not try to evade taxes, avoid government control or abuse animals. This is why anyone using alternative currencies is always doing something evil and illegal.
With government currency, none of you need anything else.
News on education
As we, the government, are further improving the education plan for all our youth. As we know, every child has to go through mandatory education program for six years. During this time, they are living with their peers under the loving care and supervision of the education professionals from the ministry appointed officials.
We have now removed the history education from the six years program. As we, the government, know that it is the best if we only look further in the future instead of focusing on our past can we achieve more. However as history is something we can learn from, those who will be sent to the university level studies will still have the mandatory courses of history, pointing out how everything was more dangerous and worse before, alongside with the course of government history.
But as we can remove the history courses from the studies, we now can have more time focusing on more important topics which the government will find more important. We have received a few requests for economy studies, but as the government is here to help and keep control, subjects of the nation do not need economy knowledge.
The extra hours will be dealt to the specific courses the officials have chosen for every individual depending on their career plans, which have been made by government experts.
Health news
One more thing the government has long been worried about is people touching each other. Even though everyone should know the dangers of touching other people, our glorious officers constantly need to chase people foolish enough touching other people.
This is a serious threat to our health. Diseases spread from one human to another, even one touch can be too much and you might spread any kind of deadly illnesses. Last week, our brave officers found two women named Kira and Amelie. They are known to have touched other people and now they have been contracted with several deadly illness. This is why our brave officers have now taken them to jail, where they belong to.
You do not wish the same to happen to you or to your children.
You, subjects of our nation, can help us by tipping of any illegal activities like this. If you have a strong suspicion, leave an anonymous tip to our officers and we can find the evidence. You are the backbone of the country. You are the one who will create the future together with us, the government.
Be brave. Give your life to the government, as we know what is the best for you.
Concluding the news
Give all your love and appreciation to the government. The government makes everything better and safer.
Only government control separates our society from total anarchy. Without us, the government, all what was left would be burning cars and people murdering each other. Don't let it happen. Support us.
Kira and Amelie have done nothing wrong!
It makes me weirdly happy that you're referencing one of my stories. And your whole post has a very Orwellian feel.
The story is one of my favorites and it's what I usually think of when I'm going through "What kinds of crazy things could be forbidden from the people?"
Luckily the touching law is not something we have in our world.. yet, at least.
If someone doesn't tell me how to live my life, and what to do with all my time.... how the hell am I supposed to know??!!!!!!!
Long live to the supreme leader I guess...😅
Long live the supreme leader, until we have another, better supreme leader!
Don’t you love it !! It’ll probably happen! It’s strange they haven’t redefined the word democracy to an accurate definition!!
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. H. L. Mencken
No need for democracy when we can have effective decision making and effective people. Long live the government!
People can easily say "fuck the government" but in the end, it exists for a reason. Nice story :)
Well I'm not an anarchist, but I'm going between the "fuck the government" and "government is useful" ;)
Like I'm not assuming cryptocurrencies are made better with government control, like some people are claiming..
Bravo, bravo! Hallelujah to the governing body. Without you we would all be doomed...
Thank you, we are trying to do hard work to keep
the governmentthe people happy.I wanna be evil ;)
Well you can be! You can bee anything you want
that was so funny , yet so creepily true, the creep of government into every crevice of everyone's life is obscene, and not even G Orwell could imagine what is now, stay safe bro.
Government wants to get to know everything about our lives, but instead we are giving out everything to private companies...
Maybe the government shouldn't try to build up follow up systems of their own, just buy the information from Google and Facebook ;)
Add to that twitter, I have an old school friend, who now works for the police, he was laughing one day telling me, he no longer needs to go and find peoples whereabouts, he just puts their name into facebook , twitter and a few other places and he knows where they are and when, makes his job easy, yet people still do it without thought it seems, my fb name is made up, and so is my location, I only use it to keep in contact with family back in the UK as I am in PL as you may already know?
I wrote my thoughts about government in a article this morning, if you have time to pop by and have a read.
Chills. It's so believable. In some parts of the world this is already reality. We pretend we are so far from it right now, but are we really? Let's see in five years...
The changes can be quick. Not completely related to this topic, but one example is Turkey. Few years ago, it was seen as a pretty chill muslim country anyone can enjoy being in. Now - it's instead one of the countries with a strict religious rule.
It was about 5 years ago I visited Turkey and saw people sunbathing topless at our hotel. I'm assuming you won't see things like that anymore.
That is an interesting announcement from the government. Honestly, I really like the government from the perspective of removing history from mandatory 6 years :) I wish this same government were there during my school life. I hated history. I was always getting lowest mark in history exam :P
The government makes only great decisions!
;)
Thanks for the comment!
I thank you for the news :)
Love yours posts)
Thanks, that's nice to hear :)
Thank you for this apsu. I love short easy reads. I am a new writer to the Steem community and I am trying to get a hang of how long the story should be. I love writing Flash-Fiction so I am ok with short. but I am working on novel length Genre fiction. Keep writing!
Well thank you. Some authors are writing longer posts as series, so the story can be long but each chapter is in reasonable length :)
Keeping the text in an easy read format gets more difficult the longer a single text is.
