Continue on building! Building higher than the trees! Long live the empire! Life here is a breeze! Oh, we are Americans, from parents and up, oh, we love this nation! From the ground up!
Worker 1: And it loves us!
Workers: Oh, long live the empire! Oh, thank you, Uncle Sam! We are Americans!

Worker 1: Hey, we've completed the third floor!

Worker 2: Hey, the boss is coming! He gotta be proud 'cause we workin' fast!
Announcer: Oh, look! Here comes the boss! And wow! Look at his cheerful walk! He surely has something good to tell his employees! Maybe they're getting a raise?
Boss: Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Come 'ere, gentlemen! I have an important announcement to make!
Workers*walk to the boss, all buzzing and wondering in what the boss is going to say
Announcer: Oh, golly! They're certainly going to get a raise! This is what life in the American Empire is like, ladie-
Boss: You're all being laid off! Everything single last one of you!
Scene*all of the workers stare in awe, silence
Boss: Yes. Ahem. We've recently purchased some robots that will do your job, without a paycheck. You're free to go. Ta da la!
Worker 1: Hey, but wait- we...
Worker 2: What? What are supposed to do?
Boss: I don't know. But I know that I'll be rolling in cash! Oh, look, here comes my robots now!

Announcer: Um, perhaps we should leave before the scene goes ugly.

Scene*factory

Announcer: Ah! America! Land of the free-
Hobo: Of employment!
Hobo*crying
Announcer: Huh?
Hobo: I used to work in this factory not too long ago, but then, *sniff* they moved to overseas 'cause *sniff* they got cheaper labor over there and I've been here for 6 months without a job! All I w- w- want is work! *breaks into tears

Announcer: Oh, um, things will get better one day... Goodbye!

Scene*hospital

Announcer: Ah, a hospital! There's certainty a DOCTOR that we can talk to about how good life is in the empire... Oh, hey! You sir! Over there!
Man: *looking down sadly* Yes?
Announcer: What's your job?
Man: Well, I was a surgeon.
Announcer: Oh, that's wonder- wait... Was?
Man: Yes, they laid me off not to long ago.
Announcer: How?
Man:*face center on camera* Robotic. Surgery. *waddles away, sadly
Announcer: My, god... Doctor?! Laid off?!
Announcer: Well... ahem... um.. Let's go to a local high school! Perhaps they're training our youth to survive in this new age!

Scene*school
Announcer: Ah, the smell of American youth being educated! *bell rings* How about we talk to some kids? Hey you, lad! Yes, you! What have they taught you?
Kid: *depressedly* That the square root of -4 is 2i.
Announcer: Um, so.. Haven't they taught you how to do taxes, or drive a car?
Kid: No, sir. They've taught me is some information that I may never use ever again once I leave the classroom.
Announcer: Oh, god... This is an issue, isn't is?
