《Idealism》The Solutions to "The Problems with "The Plan (1)" "

Joseph took a deep breath, and started. "Opposing Politicians. Use the Speech."
Lawson raised an eyebrow. "The Speech. You have a lot of faith in the Speech. That I don't see. I don't see the Speech. Have you written it down somewhere?"
"Oh, no. I haven't even planned it out yet. It's all a bundle of ideas, up here." Joseph taps the side of his forehead. "It needs untangling."
Lawson sighed. "I don't even know where to begin with that."
--------------------------------------------------------
"On the bosses of the Insurance Companies, we need to use a mix between exploiting their sins and guidance. The Seven Sins are Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, uh, what was the other two?"
Lawson dipped his head. "Pride and Envy."
"Pride, Envy. Okay, so we take the soft approach. We guide them, we tell them that this is for the good of our country. That's the basis. Then we exploit Pride, Sloth, and Greed. What if they are the only one who don't conform? Do they want their family to look down on them? What about the public's opinion? If they are the only one who follows profit instead of the people, nobody will choose to be insured to them. Also, we set a time limit of 2 years for them to clear out everything, and we provide support for them so that they can settle in nicely. Combination of Pride, Sloth, and Greed."
----------------------------------------------------
"Considering problems tres and cuatro, all we have to do is use social media. We livestream. No. First we tweet the livestream link then we livestream it to the public. And also we use socail media to remind the public to look at all pieces of media before coming to a decision."
"But then, there would be no room for mistakes. No amrgin for error. You can do that?" Lawson prodded.

"Gods no. But I have to."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Money, money, money. Money makes the world go round, yet its the root of all evi. Let's go. Billionaire donation. Hm. We invite all those with money, not just the billionaires, and also the bosses of the healthcare insurance companies, and we livestream with them in the room. We exploit the Pride, we tell them that this is good for their country, and because of the livestream they can't refuse or risk their own pride. Then they'll donate, but they want to one-up each other because they want to show that they are better than everyone. And that's great. We use that money. We also tell the Staff hey, can we dock 50%? And they'll say no, but then we decrease it to 21% and they'll agree. I call it kicking the door down and then de-escalating, the strategy."
---------------------------------------------------------
"I can't do anything about the time taken other than throw in more money. This isn't a problem, its a worry I can't do anything about. So I'll just ignore it."
------------------------------------------------------
"Job demands. increase minimum wage. Also outlaw crazy ass qualifications. I don't know how, but we can do that, can't we?"
Lawson nodded. "People will bitch about it, however."
Joseph shrugged. "Only the assholes will bitch about it. Fuck them. Still, they are the loudest, so we have to prepare for that, and they have more power.... Change, we need change."
"Okay. so how do we do change?"
Joseph ran a hand across his forehead and through his hair. "A lot of people think that change is throwing a boulder into an ocean. Wrong. Too much time and effort. You ever watch the movie The Core?"
Lawson shook his head. "No, not really."
Joseph apologised. "Well, I'm sorry, but I got to have to spoil. Except that it comes out within 30 minutes of it, so its not really a spoiler. Just like affecting the core, change comes from several factors all impacting at once. 5 pebbles cause more ripples than a boulder. The more the factors the better. Now, all we have to do is implement change... implement change... I'm a factor. What other factors are there?"

Spirit Realm
Thirty thousand years ago, the Heaven Fighting Race who called themselves “Gods” invaded the Spirit Realm. Hundreds of races rose up in resistance, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. The Human Race was the first to concede, and the rest of the Hundred Races soon followed in succession. During the subsequent ten thousand years, all of the races were enslaved by the Heaven Fighting Race. They were cruelly treated, and lived beneath the shadow of terror. The Heaven Fighting Race’s march of conquest did not stop there. With the Spirit Realm as the starting point, they invaded other secret dimensions, and spread war to all corners of existence. After greatly exhausting their combat strength, they were finally defeated by the Hundred Races who took advantage of this opportunity. With no other choice, they fled to the starry skies outside the realm. Thirty thousand years later, in an era where the Heaven Fighting Race has already faded to become ancient legend, an amnesiac youth possessing the Heaven Fighting Race’s bloodline is being fostered in an insignificant household. Whilst struggling to live on, he silently awaits the day of the bloodline’s awakening.Thank you for reading novel Spirit Realm @ReadWebNovels.net

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

This means your looks, money, power, and items. Keyword there: survive. And so the MC is a guy that made it to the final battle.

But he came back a month before the game began. This is his tale. Sooo what is the point of this story? Well I kinda just wanted to write a story about scumbags and them dying in horrible ways because yes I have a twisted sense of humor like that.
