* InsaneTrollLogic: His idea of boosting production efficiency is "removing all barriers". However, due to a combination of an extreme aversion to uselessness, an excessive amount of cybernetic modifications and a LackOfEmpathy, he's come to the conclusion that [[NoOSHACompliance pure organics would be more efficient workers if they didn't have breaks, health and safety regulations]]. In actuality, [[RealityEnsues all it does is make the workers feel overworked and unsafe after being protected by these regulations for years, make work slower by making them cautious for their own lives and generate mob protests]].
