RE: FICTION: Greed
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
that final punch about calories being the only currency lands, because it cuts past the tokens and ledgers to what keeps folks standing. It also shows why the labels on shipments feel like theater when profit > people, even if the deal gets food moving. kinda bleak and sharp, but I smiled at the irony that we still run spreads#heets while the frontier just counts calories.

The food will arrive anyway, but if there's a profit to be made on it, even if the profit is hearts and minds by seeing a certain logo on it, it creates a potential dystopia / point of conflict "why don't x send us food anymore", or "why does x food taste different"?
When it likely all comes from the same place.
This is probably one of those little stories that will contribute to world building in another, bigger of my stories that is floating around in my head.
