A letter to Brian Brady<\/a>, sent via private courier since the government has seized control of the internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dear Brian-<\/p>\n

So sorry to hear Maggie didn\u2019t get into the college of her choice. It\u2019s okay, though. I\u2019m sure the government school she\u2019s in will give her the education she needs to function well in our new society. Never forget we need highly-skilled workers, Brian.<\/p>\n

Like so many Midwest cities, ours went bankrupt, was taken over by the State and our neighborhood was rezoned as a Construction Reuse Reclamation Area under eminent domain<\/a>. Thousands of our brick homes were recycled for government buildings and stimulus projects. We were given free homes within the city of Dayton as part of it\u2019s Vacancy Infill Plan<\/a>, but we chose to move elsewhere. We can manage as a small self-sufficient farm and are hidden from the road, since our carbon offset tree plantings<\/a> are located there. We\u2019ve begun bartering with neighboring farms, and use horseback to travel, as our carbon emissions quota is limited and we need them for our farm equipment, and our cows keep farting<\/a>. I won\u2019t complain, though. We get to see the land this way.<\/p>\n

I know she thinks she is doing the right thing, but the problem is that she grew up in southern California and never set foot on a farm until she was Gulaged<\/span> decommissioned<\/span> relocated here to be an inspector. I\u2019m not sure, but it feels like she is unhappy living in Ohio farm country and takes it out on us. I guess when she Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
