Note from the Editor:
I’d survived two catastrophic legal ambushes and harassment waves, wrapping up the last of my long-term relationship and interaction attempts with the animals called humans. (Third time’s a charm, right?; my first had been during high school, my second was right after the military, and my third led up to The Shift.) Somehow, I’d managed to stay on track with my university studies and exams through it all. I had negotiated and escaped both sabotaging whores, and was now rewarded by becoming a graduate holding not one, but THREE degrees in computer science.
As a post-grad’, I figured life was about to get a LOT easier; WAY better jobs, WAY more money, WAY more time off to get back in great shape, and STAY that way. I was wrong. Being a post-grad’ meant no more money for school, loan-sharks starting their countdown to merciless, rude, and even illegal contact sprees, and the brutal job-hunt we all know and hate.
The worst part of all? No one gave a shit about the degrees I’d earned, and now they wanted me to fork over even MORE thousands of dollars; I was expected to know about, have more time for, and pass intentionally-misleading tests for certifications I “had” to get to GO with those degrees. It was the tail-end of the latest scam tolerated by the profits-based false-country, America, and they were already attempting to bind me up in another.

Vocab of the Day:
- post-scarcity: a term applied to the type of economy which can occur once supply becomes virtually endless, making demand a moot point (from the Star Trek series) (ex.: The Inisfreeans enjoy a post-scarcity economy because they have mastered the science of subatomic transmutation; they can make anything out of anything.)

Poking Fun at Fake News:
Want a stream of some of the fakest news of all? Check any of the stock exchanges around the world. like this one. How do any of us know that the information presented on their screens is accurate at all?
We don’t. No one has any way of knowing, unless you could somehow technopathically sense-trace all the signals, then instantly fact-check their numbers compared to what they are based on in reality, and so on. No one, including the people who made the stock exchange system itself, have any way of confirming any of it.
At best, it has endless information, and that information is full of errors, only reflecting chaotic hopes and dreams. The system is too full of errors on every level, and crashes in ways that cause terrible financial situations even for entire peoples and regions. It doesn’t work, largely because it is fake; it isn’t firsthand, it doesn’t accurately reflect reality, and the people working it are fake.
