Of course, how this would actually work:

Workers: “What do we get?”

AR: “Well, half of you are fired, the other half keep working just as hard.”

<later>

AR: “What’s with the guillotine?”

Workers: “We’re acting in our rational self-interest.”

AR: “I see.”

AR: <to the fired workers> “They’re the reason you can’t get a job. If they didn’t form a UNION to keep you OUT, you’d be doing just fine! And I can’t fire THEM, thanks to the UNION.”

AR: <to the employed workers> “Well, I’d love to give you more time off, but I can’t, because those MOOCHERS over there are freeloading on the system, and I gotta pay outrageous taxes for their welfare because THEY DON’T WORK.”

Media: “Let’s talk to two experts in the labor field.”

Expert 1: “Oh, the problem is definitely abusive, bloated unions and exclusive contracts.”

Expert 2: “Oh, the problem is definitely freeloading welfare queens.”

Workers: <try to push each other into the guillotine>

AR: Flies away in her golden private jet, “MUHAHAHAHAHA!”
