Great news, kids! I'm implementing a loss-aversion allowance system.
Instead of giving you five dollars each week during which you were good, you will start each week with the potential for five dollars.
Every time you disobey me or talk back, you will lose a dollar from your potential total.
Here's the best part! Humans care more
Your systematic biases are your undoing!
About losing a dollar than gaining one so, you'll probably behave far better while getting less money!
I'm gonna misbehave five times
But that's irrational!
Immediately. Then you will have no power.
