There would be a lot more respect between people, if everyone was in an iterated game with everyone else and they knew it.

Respect or a general mutual indifference? I feel that eternity is a long time to maintain pleasantries
By everyone do you mean everyone in the town,the world. Does money reset is everyone locked into the financial status they were going into the loop? I feel if it's everyone in the world. People would adapt and life would go one like normal.
If we all retain our memory, as is usual for a time loop, then we all have agency in the next loop, as is usual for a time loop, and the only things that "repeat" are natural things like acts of nature.
So eventually we would know where the things happen and they would become sources of energy. Billionaires would buy them and other means of life, everyone would become dependent on something that the oligarchy would gain control of, and everything would be the same as it is now, essentially.
Possibly they threaten the masses with quick death unless they serve is some capacity? I'm being terribly pessimistic, but I do think all it takes are a couple of assholes to ruin things.
How are the money not reset? People working as "transaction secretaries" to uphold the oligarchy is very slim
That's an interesting take. People are indeed whipped already, with money being the carrot. In a time loop I can definitely see the powerful threatening nukes to "incentivize" everyone.
Though, I think this would only be a pattern in the early stages. Once you've been nuked, you get used to it, and the threat wears off
Wouldn't that remove the aspect of no one else believing you?
I'm not following
One of the issues with time restarting for one person is that no one else knows it is. And they're alone in their condition. If everyone's were to reboot, then everyone would notice
Yep, everyone's aware
I'm so happy you are a person. Thank you for living.
I will read your book recommendations and follow you. Please feel free to add more.
