I stare at the genie.
"What?" I say.
"I will grant you two wishes. Riches, health, fame, wisdom, knowledge, power, contentment, beauty, whatever you want."
It's too... I can't- How could I... I'll get it wrong!

"Granted. And your second?"

@ambulocetus Ultimately the problem is that they become brainwashed by Faux News and other such "news outlets" into going against their own interests. How I would love to see all of Murdoch's News Corp turned into a worker coop... ah well, one can dream.

@gwr It really does feel like that, especially when trying to explain things like institutional/structural discrimination to people...
@Sheril Nice! The youtube channel Melodysheep's videos also do a good job of putting into context just how short of a time we've existed and will exist. Recommend checking out their videos, they make some really high quality documentaries!
