" famously " wage workers can not singularly bare the weight of large penalties
However large personal penalties may be necessary to instill optimal work habits
So ?
Well these wage lings in the age of George jetson
Could get a loan of the funds to pay the penalty from Uncle Sam
and pay it back
Meanwhile they'd get " a time served " stipend
To the extent minimal compensations is wiped out as well as any bonus
If large production teams aren't able to be adequately whacked
Then monitor proliferation sets in
A hierarchy of straw bosses
That can at the job floor level monitor groups of monitor able size
Recall then we get monitors of the monitors if they too can afford the penalty that would motivate them to monitor adequately if not optimally
