Just wait - when Pfizer and the other biggies actually start seeing their socialized medicine revenue in trouble, everything will ease and sleaze.

How, especially since the Declaration of Independence was written with an escape from bondage theme, except for those people actually held in bondage.

Exactly - this explains the United State’s foreign policy in the Middle East since 1954.

Agree. The sequel to “Charlie and the Chocolate factory” (“Charlie and the Glass elevator”)? It literally cannot be read to children.

You’ll be cheering for *a* free market, but not *the right* free market - the free market for corporate ubermench to shit wherever they like.

I never heard of him, but now I’m thinking of moving to Germany just to watch television.

It’s cute that The NY Times is now portraying the guy who gave us “Citizens United” gives a rat’s ass about America and not just the super rich.

Respectfully, my read on last December is that it was a “free shot” for lefty and “centrist” columnists more than anything else.
Now when Trump pardons people that crew will be able to mumble “well, I was critical of Biden doing that…”
It’s a sad sick joke.

Amen. A lot of talent and energy but a very bad story.

If I read the dates correctly on that, the last two big jumps this century were the 2008 financial crisis and Covid.
And this is as big or bigger?
Yikes.

“The atomic age is coming to a close.”
Um, what? Ask the north and South Koreans about that.

Dammit - I was really counting on this one hitting the spot.

If chargers are not mission critical then why do they have elevators?
Elevators just encourage laziness in workers and are not “mission critical.” They should walk up the steps.
Same with air conditioning. In my day we had to walk uphill in the heat both ways, to and from work.

In the first chapter he talks about (fictionally) how real climate action did not start until “crash day,” when 60 planes were all shot down by drones as a protest. It’s cray-cray.

Dems *do* care about. W. Va., but have not cracked a way to solve the race/class issue that has infected state politics there.
The politics of ire and spite has ruled that state for 30+ years. It’s poison.

You can go.
Or you can stay.

(a) use word choice to illustrate the main character and something about the speaker, and (b) use changes in the word choice by one or more of the characters to reflect character development/relationship development with them.
Good luck!

No spoilers.
This isn’t what she did there, but if you’re using 3rd person narration maybe illustrate the character through word choice in dialog about her/them? Like show that the other characters refer to her/them both ways.
That way the character remains static, but you can…

Got it.
Is it that the “third party omniscient” narrator usually just has one perspective?
Your situation reminds me of “the left hand of darkness” by Ursula K. LeGuin. She dealt with a similar situation (in a cool way).

Is the switch part of the plot or part of the character? If plot (like something in this story, and only in this story causes it) then switch. If character, then pick one.

I think Sisko was a reaction to the “ubermench” Picard. And a great one.
A man who loved, and was loved. A man who climbed from physical and psychological ruins and was tested by faith and faithlessness.
I love the idea of Picard. I’d hate to be in Sisko’s shoes.

This is a great story, a great lesson, and just one more reason to reflect on history.
I grew up in Pittsburgh and had never heard this story, or the effort by the English so close to the revolution to take Pittsburgh.
Thank you for posting it.
