Celestia, Twilight, and Starlight brainstorm methods to improve the economy. They're pretty unconventional.

You know... I can't tell if Celestia was just trolling them or was trying teaching them something....
Ah, and here is the finished project.
Hey! I helped... if only a little... ehehehe
I jest, this is a nice laugh. Keep it up!

There, happy? Cheers though man I'm grateful for the help!

Labor camps, I like the idea but don't send the disabled to them. Send perfectly able bodied stallions to them, they can make the most goods in the shortest amount of time and will not require any further medical care than the absolute minimum!
Also, sell the goods made there not just in Equestria but globally. That way the revenue should be flowing in and Equestria will have a decent GDP growth.
Hypothetical? More like hypoethical, know what I mean, Vern?
Bringing human shit to the pony world. Bad move. Downvote.

Neither, probably. She was just being a jerk. Especially to Starlight.

You see, it's bad to ever try anything new! Ever!

Wat.

You said you downvoted simply because the story imported an element from our world. You didn't specify what, so I assume you don't want anything that's not 100% pony in your stories ever. Not even general policy terms.

I don't like human crap in pony world.
Nothing like three of Equestria's greatest minds trying and failing to come up with a solution.
Right here was where I finally, completely did not get the joke, I'm afraid...
8359861 What defines "human crap?"

I'm going to cut and paste in a short conversation I had with another author regarding this, who raised a similar point.
Perhaps I could have communicated the punchline a little better. Honestly, this was a bit of fun to me, and I didn't have unrealistically high hopes for it. Some time spent structuring the joke a little better probably would have worked to my benefit, but hopefully with this you'll be able to see what I was driving at, at least somewhat!

(Note: I have no animosity towards Arabic people whatsoever, nor the disabled/homeless/poor. This is political satire from a completely objective viewpoint on my end, hence the extreme opinions displayed by the characters throughout.)

To be more specific, I don't get why (or even if) it's supposed to be funny, and given it doesn't at all seem like things they'd say canonically, it seemed like it was supposed to be a joke of some sort. Although I was perhaps a bit soured by the fact that people who don't care about anything that affects them, is actually sort of a problem...
On the topic of the explanation you gave, I also can't meaningfully connect protecting the disabled with "political correctness," though that's such a meaningless phrase these days to me, that's not surprising.
This story reminds me of a joke the late Bill Hicks once stated; instead of simply providing care and shelter to the terminally ill, we give them jobs in the movie industry as stunt people. That way, when one of those people die on camera, it'll look real because it is real. (Bill made worse jokes than this, believe me.)
This story is really reminding me of something, but I just can't put my finger on it....
Oh! I know! Red vs Blue!

Literally the greatest compliment any story and receive. Bravo!
Deconstructing hypotheticals that you won't do may lead to you finding something you would do that could work.
Nice

Finally! I've been telling people this is inspired by a Mitchell and Webb sketch for ages but I always have to show them which one, glad you caught the inspiration! You've a good taste in comedy.
