The good news: In the future, survivors looking back on the "totalitarian 20s" will have the utmost respect for all those heroes who were censored but who kept finding ingenious ways to speak and spread truth.

Bad news: Biden might actually fix Conrail? So, when we're bayoneted onto cattle cars to the abattoirs, "survivors" will never know, who tried to delav their horrid demise?

I would answer by saying something cheery like “Good News: Nothing that horrendous would ever happen.” But those of us who have managed thus far to avoid mass formation know that just about anything is now possible.

Well, iron boot on the head stuff even happens to 63yr old, white, female teachers, trying to protect family farms against fracked ethane lines, running right by four giant, hillside schools in Libul PA! She was thrown into solitary for, "trying to lure bears, onto the ROW," or some psychotic BS the media spewed? If your Black and a nurse, they wake you up with .40 S&W JHP rounds through the wall? So, our email addy, IP, DSN info, from all these comment theeads is likely harvested by algorithm as we rant and Kamala, Ivanka or Chelsea will simply deny we've been ground into catfood for sedition?

If/when soylent green for cats starts to appear on the shelves at Walmart, there is one final bit of “good news” after all: my two finicky cats will refuse to eat it. However, I think they might quite enjoy a can of oligarch and bankster in gravy.

The last couple years I've been catching up on all the great science fiction I missed as a kid in the 60s. Now that you mention it, I remember friends reading Space Merchants. I'll add it to my reading list. Thanks!
