The Great Leap Forwa-

Rimskayan Legislature; February 29th, ████

BEGIN LOG

 

What the hell is this comrade ███ ████████?! Is this some kind of economic plan!?

 

Yes chairman.

 

Why is there something about cutting off all agricultural production for half of the year at a time?
 

In two month increments.

 

Do you realize how many people would starve if we did that!?

 

Yes. About 40 million.

 

Are you insane!?

 

Tis the price for industrial gain.

 

Your plans for a new industry aren't even that good... the "portable factory" you have suggested to boost our steel production looks like an oversized smoker made of aluminum foil.

 

...well...

 

It IS!?

 

Gotta keep the thing cheap to produce.

 

How did you get a job here...

 

I passed the public service exam with the lowest score possible and the government thus guaranteed me a low-level job. I worked my way up the ranks by promising free cookies for everyone.

 

WE ALREADY DO THAT!!!

 

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

 

Look... because you're supposedly new, I'll let it slide, but this legislation is being removed from the floor on the grounds of being counterproductive and of detriment to the population. Next time you're being demoted to committee level. Understood?

 

Yes chairman.

 

And please try to dress more appropriately next time... we don't have a real dress code here, but...

 

What?

 

You're literally dressed like Mao Zedong.

 

But it's leap day!

 

Yes I know it's... wait... is that why you proposed...

(Guards burst in the door)

THERE HE IS! GET HIM!

(The guards proceed to chase ███ ████████ around the chamber for approximately 2 minutes before he is apprehended. Investigation reveals he wasn't an actual member of the legislature, and had spent the past 7 months developing a fake profile, before simply walking in claiming he belonged there. New protocols to ensure legislature member legitimacy are being prepared; investigation pending to determine what [EXPLICITIVE REDACTED] created the original ones.)
