Humans evolved to be under competitive pressure. We get the most enjoyment from life, and do the best work, when we are competiting with one another, even though we will frequently complain about the competition.

The ministers are required to take advantage of our desire to compete. When a minister authorizes a new business, he must create at least two of them so that they compete with each other, unless he believes that the business is so simplistic, or so temporary, that competition is unnecessary or wasteful. In those cases, he must post his reasons (in the Explanations category) for not arranging a competition so that we can pass judgment on whether he is making wise decisions.

A Minister must observe the businesses and ensure that they compete in a fair and inspirational manner, but he cannot micromanage a business. The reason the ministers cannot tell the executives how to manage their business is so that the executives can be put into competition with each other. It would be pointless to put executives into competition if they were following orders from the ministers. In order to determine which executive is more talented, they need to have the freedom to make their own decisions.

A minister is permitted to provide advice to the executives, and to any of the employees, but nobody is obligated to follow his advice.

Ministers cannot micromanage any of the businesses that they create, since that would defeat the purpose of putting the businesses into competition, but they have the authority to fire an employee of a business. The ministers are in a similar role as a referee of a football game. A referee cannot tell any of the athletes or coaches what to do, but he has the authority to expel a player.

By allowing the ministers to fire employees within the businesses that they create, the managers of a business can request the minister to analyze an employee and fire him if he concludes that he should be fired. This would be useful when the manager has an emotional attachment to the employee, and finds it difficult to give an unbiased job performance review to him, and/or finds it emotionally difficult to fire him.

Since the minister is not a member of the business, he will be unlikely to have an emotional attachment to the employee, which allows him to be less biased and more critical of the employee, which in turn makes it easier for him to notice whether the employee is inappropriate for the team. If the minister decides that the employee should be fired, it will be easier for him to fire the employee.

Nobody enjoys firing one of his team members, so when a ministers fires an employee of a business, he spares the manager from the emotional trauma of doing it. This concept is similar to why the License Ministry exists.

Although this constitution promotes the attitude that being fired should be considered a normal part of discovering our talents, we dislike being fired, and we dislike firing people that we have developed an emotional attachment to. The ministers are not required to obey the requests, however.

Many sections of this Constitution emphasize that our competitions must be beneficial. For example, the Children's document points out here that the competitions that schools are providing for the students are worthless or detrimental.

The ministers must put businesses into a competition that inspires them to be the most beneficial to society, as opposed to the competition in a free enterprise system in which they compete for profit.

The ministers have to judge the businesses according to the quality of their products, their consumption of resources, and the attitudes and behavior of the employees. As explained in the Jobs document, the executives must create a work environment that is productive and efficient, but which also allows employees to enjoy their job and develop beneficial attitudes so that they are a good influence on other people.

A business in which the employees are angry, or frequently quitting their job, or causing complaints of sexual harassment, must be considered to be unacceptable, even if it is producing excellent products in an efficient manner.

The ministers are required to take the role of a referee and observe the competitions. If a minister finds that an executive is cheating, or encouraging fights or bad attitudes, he must replace the executive, even if that executive excels at managing the business.

One of the problems with the free enterprise system is that it favors the people who cheat, fight, deceive, and manipulate. The ministers must observe the competitions and prevent that from happening. The executives who cannot compete in a beneficial manner must be regarded as behaving like an animal. We must stop feeling sorry for people who are destructive, and the ministers cannot try to improve the behavior of the executives through punishments, rehabilitation programs, or other techniques.

Since the ministers do not have any secrecy, when they replace an executive, they must post their reason in the Explanations category so that we can pass judgment on whether the ministers are making wise decisions.

An executive who is replaced will have an unfavorable job review in his entry of the People database, which will make it more difficult for him to get another executive position.

It is difficult to design a competition that inspires productive behavior, and it is difficult to determine whether an executive is competing in a beneficial manner, so it is useful to get a lot of people involved with observing the competitions and passing judgment on everybody's behavior. Therefore, the Efficiency Ministry of the Quality division is also responsible for ensuring the executives are behaving properly by passing judgment on them, and notifying the ministers if they suspect any type of incompetence, cheating, or other problems.

The efficiency ministry is also expected to complain to the minister if they believe he has replaced an executive who was doing an excellent job.

The efficiency ministry sends notifications and complaints to the ministers by posting a document in the Requests category so that everybody can see what they are doing, and pass judgment on their decisions.

If the Efficiency Minister concludes that a minister is creating useless competitions, or allowing executives to cheat or fight, he can post a request to the president to investigate. If he is certain that a minister is inappropriate, he can request an intellectual trial of that minister.

In a free enterprise system, the employees are essentially animals that the business owns, and as a result, the employees risk being fired if they criticize their boss or their business.

This constitution changes the situation dramatically by regarding everybody in the city as a "city employee". The businesses do not own their employees, and the employees do not have any loyalty to their boss or their business.

Every employee is working for the benefit of the city, not for their boss or their business. Their boss is simply a city employee in a management position, and every business is a group of city employees.

The employees are encouraged to identify problems with their business or the products that they produce, and to identify incompetent or dishonest people in management positions. The employees post their documents in the Suggestions category. An employee gets credit for finding improvements, which will help him if he wants to get into a management or government position.

An employee who posts evidence that his management is incompetent, or who identifies problems with their products, is regarded as a more valuable employee than those who are oblivious to incompetence and corruption, or who are too apathetic or introverted to do anything to expose or stop it.

One of the lessons to learn from such crimes as the Holocaust, the 9/11 attack, and the Apollo moon landing is that employees and citizens who ignore or are oblivious to incompetence and corruption, are dangerous to society because they allow crime networks to grow.

If a manager tries to get revenge on an employee who has criticized him, that executive must be regarded as behaving like a violent dog that is attacking a person who has not done him any harm. Everybody must be able to calmly accept and acknowledge their failures. This Constitution set higher standards for people, and those who behave in violent and crude manners must be put on restrictions or evicted.

To complicate the issue of exposing problems with the business or its products, the people in leadership positions must understand that products can never be perfect, and neither can people. Therefore, some of the complaints that employees will have about imperfections with a product or management will be valid, but they will not get credit for the complaint if the problem is considered acceptable.

For example, a few Boeing employees have complained about imperfections with Boeing airplanes, and a couple died afterwards. It is possible that the Boeing management panicked and arranged for them to be murdered. If so, that is an destructive reaction.

All of the existing cultures have the problem that they do not acknowledge the concept that perfection is impossible. They refuse to believe that humans are apes, and that we must expect everybody to regularly make mistakes and stupid decisions. Every culture also refuses to acknowledge that we cannot expect products, software, medical drugs, or medical procedures to be perfect.

This problem is especially serious in the USA. For example, people are constantly filing lawsuits against doctors for making mistakes, and filing lawsuits against businesses for having products that are imperfect.

Although some lawyers and citizens profit from the lawsuits, the nation suffers because it results in a lot of people and businesses wasting labor and resources on insurance and lawsuits.

In order to improve this situation, the ministers are restricted to people who understand that when engineers create a new product, the ministers must make a decision about when it is "good enough" for production.

When an employee makes a complaint about a product, there should be no attempt to silence him. Instead, the ministers must make a decision about whether the problem is serious enough to fix, or whether it needs to be tolerated. We should look for a way to work around those minor problems rather than demand perfection.

A competition is analogous to a sieve, such as the one in the photo to the right.

A competition sifts the people into categories, such as winner or loser, or first-place, second-place, and third-place.

The rules of the competition are analogous to the metal grid in the photo to the right. The rules determine who remains after the competition is over.

The people who supervise the competition are analogous to the person who is using the sieve.

Businesses and citizens arrange for thousands of competitions every year, but they are designed to satisfy to our emotional cravings, rather than to serve a useful purpose. For example, businesses design competitions to advertise their products and sell items.

Furthermore, the people supervising the competitions are often cheating, or trying to prevent certain people from entering the competition, thereby defeating the purpose of having the competition.

Some examples of the competitions that are worthless or dishonest are:

a)	The elections of government officials. The elections are a competition. The candidates are the competitors, and the voters are the judges of the competition. However, the current election systems have three serious problems: 1) Contestants can join organizations. All election system allow the candidates to join political parties. Organizations have an advantage over individuals in a competition, so this favors the candidates who are willing to become a member of an organization. The elections become a battle between the organizations, rather than a competition between the candidates. This results in candidates who are more interested in their organization than the nation. 2) There are no standards for the judges. Almost every competition sets high standards for the judges and referees. The exception is our election systems. Almost every adult is allowed to vote. Voters don't have to meet any standards for intelligence, education, or mental health. This allows elderly people with senility and Alzheimer's to vote, and ignorant teenagers. 3) There is no quality control. There is no organization to ensure that the elections are honest, and most voters are so apathetic, stupid, or easily deceived that they don't investigate accusations of cheating in the elections.
b)	The competitions for profit. A free enterprise system puts businesses into competition for profit, but there is no concern for how the businesses make profit, and there is no supervision of the competition. Although this type of competition works very well for the primitive societies of the Middle Ages, it has allowed cheating and abuse to become so extreme during the past few centuries that some people reacted by creating unions, and other people reacted by demanding that the government create laws and agencies to reduce the abuse. The unions and laws have reduced some of the abuse, but they cannot improve human minds, so the competition for profit is continuing to favor the people who have more of an interest in money, status, and material wealth than the quality of our lives. The free enterprise system has become dominated by people who fight and cheat for money. Their behavior is not much better than the apes that are fighting over a tomato in the photo to the right.
c)	The competitions to memorize information and do math The schools put students into a competition to get the best grades, but students get good grades by doing good on school tests, most of which are a test of their memory or math abilities. Therefore, the students who win those competitions have excellent memories or math abilities, but they are not necessarily the most "intelligent". Furthermore, they are not necessarily the students who have the most useful skills, the best leadership abilities, the best mental health, the most honesty, the best self-control, the best ability to deal with constructive criticism, or the most dependable. To make the situation even worse, the existing schools allow students to get good grades and diplomas in subjects that have no value, or which are nonsensical. For example, there are students getting excellent grades in religion and Freudian psychology.
d)	The competitions to win a recreational event. Many people are involved with recreational events, such as tennis, golf, soccer, bingo, or chess, but not to enjoy the game or the people, or to get exercise, or to learn something of value. Rather, they are involved with the event in order to win the game. There is so much emphasis on winning recreational events that millions of children and adults are wasting a significant portion of their life practicing the events in order to increase their chances of winning. They develop a skill that has no value to them or society. They gain nothing by winning the events, other than some momentary titillation. Many events provide the winners with trophies, but the trophies don't improve their life, and they are a burden on society to manufacture. Some people have collected so many trophies that they put them into boxes, and they put the boxes into storage. There are also millions of people wasting a portion of their time and money searching for and purchasing "better" equipment, such as better cleats or better golf clubs, to increase their chance of winning. Furthermore, the emphasis on winning is so extreme that many athletes have pushed themselves to such extremes that they suffered permanent physical injuries or brain damage.
e)	The competition for material wealth. Our craving for status and material wealth has caused a lot of people to compare their wealth to that of other people, and to waste some of their liesure time flaunting their expensive automobile, jewelry, clothing, or infinity swimming pool. It also results in people boasting about traveling to an exotic location, or watching a sports game from the VIP areas. It was beneficial for prehistoric people to compete for material wealth and to flaunt their wealth because that inspired one another to improve their living conditions. Today the competition for material wealth is detrimental because the people in the advanced nations, including the "poor" people, have such excessive amounts of wealth that their homes are cluttered with it. The boasting by wealthy people is no longer beneficial. Instead, it is encouraging idiotic behavior from the wealthy people, and causing the poor people to believe that they are suffering. It is also encouraging crime, and encouraging both men and women to form friendships and marriages according to the financial benefit.

Every competition that has been created so far is detrimental because they were created to appease our emotional cravings. These competitions are giving us government officials, business executives and school officials who are dishonest, aggressive, selfish, neurotic, and incompetent. Likewise, the recreational competitions are encouraging people to waste their life on the development of a worthless skill, and to clutter their home with trophies.

In order to improve this situation, the government has total control of all culture, and they are required to justify all of their policies. This will allow them to design competitions that have a benefit to society. For example:

•	In order to provide ourselves with better government officials, the candidates must compete as individuals, not as members of an organization, and they must be judged according to their previous achievements in improving society, rather than their ability to appease voters. The Elections section has more details.
•	In order to provide ourselves with better business executives, they must be put into a competition to improve society. Although they must operate efficiently, they must be judged according to the effect that their business is having on society and their employees. They must be judged according to how beneficial they are to the city. With that type of competition, we will get business executives who excel at finding improvements to our work environment, transportation systems, elevators, computers, cell phones, and medical drugs.
•	In order to provide ourselves with better school officials, they must be in competition to create graduates who become the best members of society. This requires comparing the graduates of different schools to determine which of them are forming the best friendships and marriages, which of them are the most productive at their jobs, and which of them become the most honest, reliable, and desirable. The students should also be in a competition to become the most desirable adult, rather than to merely have good grades or diplomas.
•	In order to provide ourselves with better recreational activities, the activities must be judged according to the effect the activity has on the attitudes and behavior of the people, and the effect it has on society. An example that was mentioned in a previous document is that people could compete in public hobbies. That type of activity encourages people to develop useful skills, and they make the city more desirable in the process by creating art, footbridges, gardens, furniture, and other useful things. Another example that was mentioned in previous documents is that a recreational activity should encourage participation so that people get exercise, enjoy nature, and socialize, rather than passively watch other people compete to win an event.

This Constitution puts the executives under the supervision of the ministers, so the executives must appease the ministers rather than customers. However, unlike customers, who make decisions according to what is best for themselves and their family, the ministers are required to make decisions according to what is best for society.

Furthermore, in a free enterprise system, customers do not have to explain any of their decisions, but the ministers must post a document in the Explanations category to explain all of their decisions so that we can pass judgment on whether they are making intelligent decisions.

Determining which business is more valuable to society requires comparing their efficiency at producing products; comparing the social environment that they have created for their employees; and trying to determine what effect they are having on the city and its future. It's a difficult decision, but it is better for the ministers to make those judgments than to ignore the effect that businesses have on society, or to judge them by their ability to make profit.

The ministers are also required to routinely replace the worst performing executive so that other people have a chance, and the president is required to replace the worst performing ministers. Eventually this will give us ministers who excel at judging the executives, and executives who excel at finding improvements to the city and our lives.

Here are some examples of how and why the ministers can put businesses into competition.

Example of competition: Maintenance businesses

In a free enterprise system, the businesses that maintain products, including the maintenance of human bodies (such as doctors and dentists), are in competition for profit, and this has resulted in a lot of abuse, such as automobile mechanics and dentists who deliberately deceive customers into paying for unnecessary work.

The ministers must arrange competitions that put the businesses under pressure to be the most useful to society. This puts businesses under the opposite pressure of a free enterprise system. For example, a mechanic will be under pressure to maintain products with the least amount of labor and resources, and a dentist will be under pressure to maintain people's teeth with the least amount of dental work.

There is no right or wrong way of designing a competition for a maintenance business. One possibility for bicycle repair shops is for the Maintenance Minister to provide the city with two bicycle repair shops. He could request that the bicycles be manufactured with a unique ID number so that their maintenance history can be monitored. He would then assign half of the bicycles to each of the two shops.

When a citizen notices that a bicycle needs repair, he would either notify the city that it needs repair by sending a text message with the item's ID number and its problem, or by dropping it off at one of the facilities that the city provides for broken items. The employee (or robot) at the Broken Items facility would look at the ID number of the bicycle and send it to the business that is responsible for it.

Each of the bicycle repair shops would be in competition to maintain their bicycles with the least amount of labor and resources. They will not have any desire to do unnecessary repairs because that will make them look inefficient. They will instead want to do the best repairs possible so that their bicycles need the least amount of repair work. The repair shop that has the least amount of work would be considered the most beneficial.

Furthermore, since the businesses are not permitted to keep secrets, the minister would analyze the shop to determine why it is doing a better work, and if he can figure it out, the information will be provided to the other shop, and to the future shops, so that everybody can benefit from it.

A similar competition could be set up for dentists. The minister could assign every citizen to a particular dentist. The minister would then observe the people to determine which group has the least amount of dental problems, dental work, toothaches, and related problems. The dentist with the least amount of work would be considered the best dentist.

The minister must also try to determine why that dentist was better, and if he could figure it out, he would be able to provide all of the other dentists and dental schools with the information so that all of the other dentists could improve their techniques.

Allowing the government to assign us to certain dentists or doctors would reduce our freedom, but we would benefit tremendously because it would make it easier for us to determine which doctors and dentists were doing the best job. That would allow us to help all of the other doctors and dentists improve their work.

By putting the maintenance businesses into a competition to reduce the amount of work they do, the resources they use, and the number of employees they need, they will become increasingly efficient and beneficial, which is the opposite of a free enterprise system.

Furthermore, since none of the businesses can keep secrets from one another, and there are no patents or copyrights, when a business discovers a way of improving their operation, that knowledge becomes available to all of the other businesses.

Another example is the maintenance of apartment buildings. In a free enterprise system, everybody who owns a house or apartment building has to waste a lot of their time trying to figure out which businesses to hire to maintain their plumbing, electrical lines, roof, refrigerator, and other items, but with this economic system, nobody owns anything except for some personal items, such as shoes, underwear, and toothbrushes. The city owns all of the buildings, and all of the equipment. Therefore, the city is responsible for maintaining everything.

The businesses that maintain apartment buildings are in competition with each other, but not for profit. Instead, they compete to maintain their buildings with the least amount of labor and resources.

Each of the maintenance businesses will be assigned certain buildings to take care of, and the businesses that reduce the hours that their employees work, the number of employees they need, and the resources that they use, will be considered the best, and the executive of the worst performing business is the first to be replaced.

Nobody in the city has to waste any of his time trying to figure out which business to use to fix a problem with the apartment building, and none of the executives of the restaurants, social clubs, factories, or other facilities have to waste their time getting bids on maintenance chores. When somebody notices a problem with his equipment or facility, he notifies the city, and the maintenance business that has been assigned to that particular facility or equipment will deal with it.

Example of why competition is necessary: Twitter

An example of why competition is necessary can be seen when Elon Musk purchased Twitter. A large number of the employees of Twitter loved their job, and some of them had posted videos on the Internet to show how wonderful it was to work at Twitter. Those videos showed them casually arriving at work whenever they pleased, having free food and wine throughout the day, and having lots of time to socialize, play games, and relax. They rarely did any useful work.

The reason Twitter had so many employees doing virtually nothing is because they didn't have any competition. Free enterprise does not work properly in our modern era, and the result is that a lot of large businesses are essentially monopolies for their particular product.

To add to the problem, all of the legal systems in the world are ineffective, resulting in many business executives getting into their positions, and holding onto them, through blackmail, crime networks, murder, and other forms of cheating.

In order to prevent businesses from becoming like Twitter, the ministers are required to put businesses into competition, and the Quality division is required to experiment with methods of reducing crime and corruption.

Example of competition: Software for robots

Robots need a lot of software, but instead of having several gigantic companies competing to produce all of the software, the Economic Division will arrange for lots of small businesses that compete for particular functions.

For example, the Economic ministers might arrange for two small software businesses to compete to improve the function that a robot uses to track a moving object. The businesses might be as small as one computer programmer, or they might have 20 programmers. The minister decides how large the businesses will be, and he can base his decision on discussions with computer programmers and whoever else he wants to get advice from.

Since all technology belongs to the human race, the businesses can use and modify any portions of the existing software without any concern for copyrights, plagiarism, or patents.

During the competition, the businesses will keep their software a secret, but they will release their source code to the public at the end of the competition.

The Economic ministers will then pass judgment on whether the businesses have improved the tracking function. It is possible that both businesses have found some improvements, in which case both will get credit for their improvements. However, if a business fails to find any improvements, the programmers in that business will have a failure listed in their job performance review.

The programmers who repeatedly fail in their competitions to improve software are given software projects that are less demanding, and if they fail at those simpler projects, they will be required to try some other job.

This type of competition will allow more rapid development of products and software. For example, in a free enterprise system, if a person wanted to develop a robot to eliminate mice and rats, he would have a very difficult time because he would need a lot of money to get the business established and hire employees, and it would be very difficult and expensive for him to find businesses willing to provide him with the technology and software that he needed.

With this constitution, however, a person would be able to propose the development of a robot to eliminate mice and rats, even if he does not know how to develop such a robot. If an official in the Economic Ministry considers his idea worth pursuing, he will arrange for two or more businesses to compete to develop such a robot.

The businesses that the minister sets up will have access to all of the existing robotic software and hardware. That allows them to modify an existing robot, rather than be forced to develop their own robot

For example, they could take a Spot robot, a video camera, a lidar unit, a software function that can track a moving object, a software function that can identify objects within video images, and a software function that can control a robotic arm, gun, laser, Taser, or other device.

They would then combine that hardware and software, and possibly modify some of it, and create a robot that identifies mice and rats by analyzing the video from its camera; uses the lidar unit to track their movement and determine their location; use a laser or other device to kill the animal; and then use its robotic arm to pick up and dispose of its dead body.

By having access to all of the existing hardware and software, they would be able to create such a robot without developing much software or hardware. It would be similar to a child putting pieces of Lego together to create something.

Furthermore, after they finish creating the robot, its design would be put in the public domain, thereby allowing other engineers to modify it for other tasks, such as creating a robot that travels along foot paths, plazas, and bicycle paths and uses a camera to find plants growing within the cracks between cobblestones, tiles, and rocks, and using a tool to remove or kill them.

Small groups of engineers and programmers can create robots for new tasks, such as resetting cobblestones, by modifying an existing robot.

Someone else might then modify that weed removal robot so that the robot can remove unwanted plants in city park. He would provide the robot with a map of the area, and identify all of the trees and plants that the robot is to protect, and the robot would remove all other plants.

By creating software libraries for voice recognition, artificial speech, and artificial intelligence, and putting them in the public domain, the computer programmers could easily add voice capabilities and intelligence to their software. That will be very beneficial because it will allow us to give verbal commands, and ask questions, to robots, computers, bulldozers, farm tractors, CNC machines, and other devices, rather than use multilevel menus.

Furthermore, if software is developed to understand whispers, then we could whisper to computers, phones, and other devices, to make us less annoying and distracting to  other people.

In order to make it easy for computer programmers to use existing software, the economic division is required to put pressure on everybody to make their software as modular and understandable as possible. Computer programmers are considered incompetent if they make software that is so confusing that other programmers have a difficult time fixing or modifying it.

This is the opposite attitude of a free enterprise system, in which businesses are sometimes deliberately making their software confusing in order to prevent other businesses from understanding it and copying it. There is even a competition to create the most confusing C program.

It would be much more beneficial to have contests, especially for computer science students, to make some function easier to understand and incorporate into another program. In addition to getting practice with improving existing software, the students who excel in those type of contests would be useful in the management jobs in which they supervise the development of software and pass judgment on the talents of other computer programmers.

By comparison, having a competition to create confusing software does nothing of value. That type of contest is just another example of how men enjoy competitions so much, and we have such a resistance to thinking about what we are doing, that we often get involved with competitions that are worthless, destructive, obnoxious, dangerous, or wasteful.

I mentioned here that Google provided the world with a software library for webp images, and we should have libraries and DLLs for a lot of other complex software. That will make the development of new products and software much more rapid and simple.

That will also allow people to have jobs that don't exist in a free enterprise system. Specifically, the job of taking some existing software and putting some of its functions into libraries and DLLs.

We could also design software so that a user can switch DLLs whenever he pleases in order to allow him to determine which one works best for his particular application. He would not need to know what a DLL was. Rather, he would just choose from a menu of which variation he wants to try.

For example, computer programmers around the world might have already created a dozen different functions for tracking moving objects, each of which has particular advantages and disadvantages, making it impossible to claim that one of them is "best".

By providing the tracking software functions as DLLs, and letting users choose between them, a farmer might find that a particular DLL is best at observing, tracking, and killing rats and mice during the night, and an employee at an airport might find that a different DLL is better at tracking birds during the daytime.

Robots are becoming increasingly important to us, but creating software for robots is extremely difficult. Therefore, we should make it as easy as possible for computer programmers to make variations of the existing robot software so that we can speed up the process of making robots do more tasks.

Some robots can move boxes around a warehouse, and we should make it easy for a group of computer programmers and engineers to modify those existing robots to do other tasks, such as removing weeds, harvesting fruit and vegetables, mowing lawns, and cleaning city plazas.



We will improve our lives significantly by making robot hardware and software more modular and easier to modify into new robots. By comparison, we won't improve anything with our lives by putting labor and resources into the development of new and improved lipsticks, pet products, gambling machines, Hollywood movies, or video games.

In a free enterprise system, everybody is free to start a business, but with this Constitution, the Economic Ministers are the only people who can create businesses, and they are the only people who can hire the executives.

Therefore, in order to allow other people to have the opportunity to become a business executives, the ministers are required to routinely fire the worst performing executive so that somebody else can try the job.

This requirement creates the dilemma of determining how often an executive should be replaced. The Economic President is responsible for passing judgment on whether each of his ministers is replacing executives often enough. This determination will be based on how many people are asking to become an executive, and whether any of the executives are doing an obviously inferior job.

The voters are required to pass judgment on whether the economic president and his ministers are replacing executives often enough, or too often. The Efficiency Ministry of the Quality Division is also authorized to pass judgment on the performance of the ministers and president, and if they don't believe the voters are doing a proper job, they can fire the president.

The executives are not to be judged according to whether the employees like them or their work environment. Rather, they are judged according to their effect on society. Some examples:

•	If the employees of a business are spending a lot of time going to doctors to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome or joint pain, the executive would be considered incompetent if his competitors did not have such problems. However, if his competitors had the same problem, then the ministers must investigate to determine if the jobs are expecting people to do something that is inappropriate for the human body. If the ministers conclude that the job is inappropriate, then they will work with the executives to find a way to reduce the problem, such as altering the job; authorizing a business to develop a machine to do the work; or discontinuing the product and finding different jobs for the employees.
•	If an executive is ignoring or tolerating male employees who annoy the female employees with lewd remarks, or by bumping into them as they walk past them, he will be considered incompetent, even if he is doing an excellent job of managing the business.
•	If employees are frequently quitting a business, the minister is expected to investigate to determine whether the executive has created an unpleasant work environment, in which case he will be considered incompetent. If the employees of his competitors are also quitting frequently, then the minister must consider whether the jobs are inappropriate to the human mind and/or body, in which case the jobs need to be altered.

A free enterprise system doesn't care what effect business executives have on their employees, customers, or society , but the goal of the Economic Division is to find executives who create such a pleasant and safe work environment that his employees enjoy going to work. The executives must also ensure that the employees are doing work that is beneficial to society rather than wasting their time on worthless tasks.
