HAPPY HOUR AT THE MEMORY CAFE

It'd been a rough day in Congress. The BRAIN had really been working overtime. "The BRAIN" was an artificial intel program that ran the world's largest corporation known as "ID." In fact, ID wasn't just the world's largest corporation -- it was the only one left. Centuries of mergers and acquisitions had reduced the free market to one giant, mega-company which owned everything ... including Congress.

Day after day, The BRAIN would flood the congressional chamber with thousands of new bills; such as the one requiring Shriner's to switch from tasseled hats to propeller beanies (ID was the leading manufacturer of propeller beanies).

People now ate synthetic food produced from a computer program on 3-D printers.

With no use for the millions of cups and containers, ID just dumped them into the empty crater once occupied by the now evaporated Pacific Ocean -- then had Congress vote for the taxpayers to fund it all. Whenever a new bill hit the floor, a flashing red "YEA" button would be pushed by a trained orangutan wearing a propeller beanie; the ape then rewarded with a synthetic banana. Each member of Congress was assigned their own personal surrogate orangutan responsible for casting all votes, thereby permitting the members to have no actual thoughts (as required by law).
