Yeah, can't wait to see what a bunch of bored teenagers and twenty somethings will do to our food supply after the first couple of seasons fucking around. Forced labor also doesn't mean quality labor.
Authoritarians never learn that forcing people to act like they want doesn't work.
The trick is just that everyone has to do it. Without exemptions for rich, influential etc…. (Ofc. not disabled, pregnant etc…)
You will quickly find all the rich have bone spurs which prevents their service.
Now get back to the fields peasant.
Its actually been done before and most teens quitted or were fired within weeks because of the inhuman working conditions. The quality of the work they would do is completely irrelevant.
RFK Jr has seriously proposed sending drug addicts, which he defines as people taking prescribed medication for mental health reasons, as well as your more stereotypical hardcore drug addicts... to basically agricultural work / detox camps.
No meds, no phone, live in a barracks, do farm work... while you and everyone else are cold turkey quitting heroin, or fentanyl, or ritalin or zoloft or wellbutrin.
That sounds like a program ripe for abuse.
Thankfully, that will never happen. /heavy amount of sarcasm
