Professional protestors jumping from one hot topic to the next. Who knew what the outrage of the hour was on Ponterra. Maybe the dissolving of the House and Senate. But probably something more farcical, like free health care for household pets.

“It had been bad enough when the House or Senate would force legionnaires to watch holovids when their buckets booted up and then answer multiple choice questions designed to address whatever social outrage was trendy on Utopion at the moment.

Learning to avoid micro-aggressions such as offering good thoughts or prayers instead of monetary donations to a House of Reason–approved charity.”
