    Till you want to apply for a job but your bar isn’t green enough.

    Then have the wealthy class try to distinguish themselves by always having a full green bar while the politicians balance your means to make the majority just miserable enough to always be light orange.

      Exactly. My first thought seeing this was that shitty people are going to gamify making people more miserable now that they can see exactly how well they’re doing.

      Omg, you made a terrible idea terrifying. I think you nailed it in the head only they would keep at least 25% to 50% at the red limit just to incentivise the yellow bars.

      If we want to talk about the current scales the greens would be holding us to a 60% red line rate. I’m not current but I’m guessing the average American living paycheck to paycheck is around 60% now.
