Why not just skip straight to the point and save us all a decade or so. Meth on tap.

No reason any worker couldn't just throw em in the trash, right?

I imagine you would be fired and charged for destruction of property and then they would make you feel bad by having you apologize to your coworkers for hindering their ability to put forth more work.

At this point I think it's safe to say we're locked into the dystopian future and the utopic one was but a dream.

Fun fact:
The guy that coined the term Utopia, actually meant for it to act as a pun, for "no such place" or to imply it was a false dream.
Such as, people will use the mirage of a utopia to hide the very real dystopia that this path creates.

A Eutopia is an actually "good place". A thing we have not been working towards. George Orwell also called his society a Utopia as it was a false good place.
