So I went to a poetry performance tonight, and the poet (I’ve watched him for 20 years) says he has a SF poem for the first time.
The poem was about the year 2525, where the residents of the burned out husk of a planet that we left behind are decanting one billionaire a year. Billionaires started to cryogenically freeze themselves before the collapse of civilization, so there are plenty of frozen bros in dewar flasks powered by solar panels to dig up.
So they wake up a billionaire a year, and he wakes up tied to a post. He’s asked why he didn’t give a fuck about what happened to the world in the future, and of course his answers were shit. So they set him on fire, as one does with scapegoats. Guess they’ll do it all again next year.
He called the poem “Burning Man”.
I applauded, dropped a 20 in his hat, and drove home. Yes, I know.
In the year 2525, if man is still alive…
I love it. They’re the new witches.
Fair is foul and foul is fair.
That kind of slaps though

I vote we all just start rioting and make it look like the collapse is happening now so they all go into their bunkers, then we just pile up rocks by the door or something, and then maybe we can get on with things without these idiots interfering.
Honestly you could do a lot by just charging a high rate of tax on people who own homes but don’t live in them. Encourage them to drop those properties back onto the market.
