Our favorite cereal may experience a serious lull in it’s production, as thousands of organic human workers go on strike claiming that the manufacturers have been docking their pay and paying them in cereal bites instead.

 

Though the cereal bites kept the workers content for some time, apparently one can build immunity to the joyful bowls.  Part of Cheeriups' product image is of a brand made by Organics for Organics. They pride themselves on providing work for humans. It may, therefore, be quite a blow to their sales, if word gets out that their workers are so mistreated.

 

On the other hand, Cheeriups tend to make you more morally lenient, complicit, or just plain lazy. Those who consume it may not have the capacity to support the strikers; they feel too okay with it all. Which could mean a very un-cheerful shift in production to low-tech android labor, which would be both cheaper and less of an investment for the owners, who will also save on maintenance of tedious facilities, such as toilets and food for the human workers.  

 

But many will lose their jobs and a bowl of Cheeriups will not be enough to help them pay their rent. So what do we think at the paper?

 

We think sometimes it’s okay to feel bad so that you can see the potholes before you and solve the problems you’re facing, bravely. If other people’s well being is important to you, which of course it is, maybe you push aside that bowl of avoidance and write Cheeriups manufacturers what you think about their dishonesty.

 

After that, maybe you start finding solutions for your own potholes; but after that, you can always grab some mood spices from the floating drone mini-market circling your area and make yourself a nice bowl of happy pasta Bolognese ;)
