2034 Newsom regime story
The future has some wins, but still befuddling. President Gavin Newsom is our neoliberal in charge. He emptied the ICE detainment centers after all the terrifying bloodshed. Migrants were reunited with their families, some left the US due to the horrors. Congress passed an amnesty act thankfully.
Trade school is required for those able bodied males. Women and the disabled are shoved in AI data cleaning and misinformation control. Those are luckily work from home roles. Quinn Slobodian author of this Globalists book I barely undestood accepted the role as press secretary. He's shit at it. Few people are attending college, so his neoliberal poli-sci mumbo jumbo causes a ton of confusion on X and TikTok
AI is a certifiable drag though. Millions unemployed, picking up whatever odd jobs they can. All the water use at the Project Stargate datacenter in West Texas is depriving Juarez and Northern Mexico of water completely. It's like the book The Water Knife there. Americans out of work have a grey market trade of driving water trucks to Mexicans as piperos, with massive price gouging
An anarchist group (no affiliation) traveled out to that scorched earth to drop munitions on the servers with fishing drones. They caused a bit of damage but were gunned down on the spot. It upset enough Americans to launch protests in all the major cities. Social media can still mobilize the people. So Newsom quickly shut off our internet communications. My RTL-SDR radio comes in clutch at every oppressive service outage. I've got packet radio and mesh nets that support 500 folks in my extended circles
But enough of the bad news. Was just driving around and spotted this huge dirt pile! Mesh-texted my dad, brother, and Vaughn to help me commandeer it. The 6.0 earthquake hit the Rose Canyon fault damaging Bay Park, Linda Vista, and PB. We've been scratching our heads at how to repair cracked concrete and asphalt, since City workers are on strike. After the info, Jack and Vaughn hopped in their cars. Jack's taking my stolen Cybertruck that I covered with graffiti. Dad will have to call in a BIG favor of old construction coworkers
