    Imagine the remnants of society in the future, just pockets of humanity around the globe asking why the people of the past destroyed the planet and why, with all the resources available to them, they didn't provide for everyone, and the response is basically boiled down to "idk some fucking imaginary numbers in a comp said we couldn't because a handful of rich dudes would be upset if they had to part with a fraction of their wealth."

    And then you just go back to looking for anything edible by digging in soil that's been depleted of any nutrients by being used to grow fucking uhhh cotton for 100 years or whatever and you just die from exposure. Cool.
