From my novel, "The People's Republic of Retail": In a scene eerily similar to this one from "Animal Farm"
... Eric George and M.Alice lay out the rules for the New Utopia Store.
Utopia's 10 Edicts
(M.Alice reads them off. Eric George is putting on the finishing touches with a can of Neon Green spray paint)
1. NO UNIFORMS
2. NO PROPAGANDA MEETINGS
3. SOURCE LOCAL
4. CHEAPER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
5. NO SCHEDULE CHANGE WITHOUT CAUSE
6. PUSH THE HEALTHY ITEMS
7. OFFICES ALWAYS OPEN
8. JOB SECURITY
9. STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY
10. EQUAL PAY FOR ALL
After M.Alice takes over and transforms into "Mary Alice", she decides to institute a few "changes".
DYStopia's 10 EDICTS
1. UNIFORMS (M.Alice gets a cheap deal on wool uniforms from Kazakhstan)
2. MEETINGS 4 X DAILY
3. SOURCE GLOBALLY
4. CHEAPER IS ALWAYS BETTER
5. SCHEDULES CHANGE WITHOUT CAUSE
6. PUSH THE SNACK CAKES
7. OFFICES CLOSED
8. THERE IS NO JOB SECURITY
9. STRENGTHEN THE COMPANY
10. EQUAL PAY FOR ALL LOWER CASTE ASSOCIATES
