I’ve given up on anything happening in the books ever again.

Join city council meetings

That sounds terrible.

The good news: We have some small modicum of control.

The bad news: Control involves pain, disappointment, frustration, anger, and a whole bunch of mental anguish that people who don’t pay attention to politics don’t have to deal with.

You guys can watch TNG when I’m done with it

We’ve lost so many heirloom breeds of plants and animals to industrial farming. Pigs used to be raised for their lard, but the anti-fat movement - which was caused by the food lobby - they bred them to be almost completely lean. Now they can’t live outside anymore because they don’t have fat or thick hair. And their meat is dry and flavorless. The pigs are less happy, and diners are less happy.

Same goes for grocery store vegetables, which aren’t bred for flavor or texture but for shipping durability. Grocery store tomatoes, for example. And this must contribute to the fact that lots of people don’t like vegetables.

You can’t automate away all the unpleasant and technical bits.

But it’s our job to try

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!

If you haven’t heard of them already, check out A Sound of Thunder. They’ve got a similar vibe and a similarly kickass lead singer.
