Maximized Human Efficiency acrylic on wood

Perfect, they were listed. They passed all the tests. Well, all the important ones, anyway. They did not fear, they did not hate. They were literally tireless. They did not complain, they didn't make traffic, they didn't lie, or try to sleep with their spouse's cousin. They did not feel discomfort, or pain at all. They didn't need to eat much, they didn't need bathroom breaks, they didn't ask for raises, they didn't cheat on taxes, or have any use for money at all. They could stand all day, or wait for weeks on end without losing patience. They didn't create dysfuncitonal relationships with each other, they didn't discriminate, they didn't exclude. They did not have opinions that got in the way of working together as group; there were no power struggles, no backstabbing, no need to prove themselves better than anyone else. They didn't call off because of a death in the family, or a sick aunt, or because of hangovers, or legitimate illness or ails. They did not covet, nor envy, nor steal, nor worship false idols. They just did what they were supposed to do, they did it unquestioningly, and they did it throuroghly. Perfect for the workforce, they called the test subjects. The pinnacle of maximized human efficiency.
