Conflicted Card Game: Week 33

Conflicted is a game which consists of multiple decks, each deck containing 52 cards, and on each card is a question. The setting is in an environment where some catastrophic event has occurred. Could be nuclear war, World War III, horrible disease, economic collapse, but regardless of the scenario, no form of government really exists or if it does it is unable to help you. No calling 911, no cell phones, no internet. Its just yourself, maybe friends and family, and possibly a small group of people who can help you. Not necessarily Mad Max/Post Apocalyptic, but cohesive civilization with modern technology at our fingertips is essentially over.

 

Every week I will post one of the cards (selected at random), and each participant writes a response to what they would do in that situation or how they might handle it. I will let the thread run for one week, and then post a new question. Post as much as you like after giving your response. Debating and analyzing is part of the game! I won't be playing as I am the one running the game.

 

There are no right or wrong answers as the game is about hearing how people could navigate a stressful or perilous situation.

 

Deck 1 - Downfall: Five of Spades

Due to World War III, the infrastructure of a society has gone back to a level not seen since the 1800s. Your help is requested in forming the new Government, and you can change or implement 5 laws as you see fit. What would these laws be and why?

Law 1 Nationalization / Collectivization / Planned Economy. 1 big umbrella law to create a completely new economc system where all assets are controlled by the govt and redistributed / used where it sees fit. Pvt property will be abolished. All goods/material producing industries or services will be controlled by the govt.

 

Law 2: Affordable Healthcare: Pretty self explanatory. Govt will be responsible for healthcare of citizens.

 

Law 3 Free College: Free education for graduation and post graduation.

 

Law 4 Environment Regulations: Green act to plant more trees, create animal reservations, grow artificial forests, etc.

 

Law 5 GMO Research: Govt will carry out GMO research to eradicate hunger by producing super crops veggies and fruits.

Before the industrial revolution, if you read the census families would have 12 children and 2 would make it to adulthood.

You would be lucky to even go to school because you would be needed on the farm to just feed yourself.

 

1) No subsidies for or against business.No input from government on economics except slavery.

 

2) Money backed by gold or other metals or commodities.

 

3)All government employees and officials must return to civilian status after 12 years.

 

4) No foreign entanglements.

 

5) Reaffirm the constitution with above restrictions and 17th and 16th repealed.
