I wonder how society would change in general if we were all forced to step out of our comfort zones once a month? Make me become a garbage man for the day, or a barista or a gas station attendant.

Perhaps it would engender some empathy between different areas of society and reduce the overall sense of entitlement some folks seem to have.

Personally I’d like to see a return of mandatory draft or civil service. I think merging people across all boundaries to forge common experience could only serve to improve society.
