Talcosis

I already quietly mutter to myself throughout the day. I think I’m going to have to turn it into a fully unhinged ongoing ramble just on the off chance that some random android will pick it up.

Someone’s gonna be looking at their notes like: “Grocery list: apple, eggs, milk, the third nitration of TNT happens at around 85C and is extremely exothermic, requiring careful temperature control to avoid runaway reaction and subsequent detonation, sugar, and the fancy cheese”

To be fair all of that is still true while the refinery is running. There’s a reason that Refinery Row and the Cancer Belt overlap almost perfectly in texas.

Nah, people being forced into homelessness and medical debt is too real. Nobody wants to think about that shit, and when it happens to them, they aren’t really in a position to deal with it.

Paper straws are perfect. They’re the most minor of inconveniences, so people are willing to engage and make jokes about it.

I don’t think it’s a significant problem, I think it’s a significant illustration of the little folk being expected to deal with the inconveniences caused by the wealthy.
