Wow, someone from the future. What is 2917 like?

I'm not from the future. It's just that time is cyclical.

There are various hypotheses to explain it, such that the universe is cyclical or that we're stuck in a time loop. But the most broadly accepted hypothesis is that a prior civilization collapsed at the end of year 32,767, and it has taken us almost 35,000 years to get back to where we are now.

Of course, our calendar doesn't allow for a year 0, so we may have an off-by-one error. But then again people celebrated the millennium at the end of 1999, so maybe there's a tacit assumption that there was in fact a year 0.

The purpose of a factory is not to provide jobs.

It's intended to made widgets that can then be sold at a profit.

It's not a social welfare program.

The way things are headed, the only way people are going to be able to obtain money to pay for those widgets is via social welfare programs.

What tripe. Heart surgeons? Structural engineers? You sound like a cliche machine. Please, find me an example of this fantasy. Spend the tokens, bitch.

When I registered for college, during the orientation they said that pre-meds are the group most frequently caught cheating.

Money is a big motivator. And not always for the good.

Of course you can't flap your arms and fly to the moon. After a while you'd run out of air to push against.
