A Day In Ayn Rand’s America:
6AM wake up to a terrible racket: with all zoning laws eliminated, a coal-fired power plant is being built next to your house
6:30AM Breakfast – 12 whole eggs cooked well to kill the salmonella
7AM Dig up some physical gold from one of your secret caches to pay for the day’s expenses
8AM Drive to work, paying tolls every mile. You’re delayed because some rich doods paid for exclusive access to the fastest route to your jerb today
9:30AM With the economy in ruins, your boss greets you with a pink slip.
10AM Walk back to your car, stepping over pox-ridden hags dying in the street, running occasionally to evade gangs of feral children armed with Saturday Night Specials
11AM Back at home, work on lawsuit against coal plant for damages to your QOL
3PM Submit suit against coal plant online to a judicial company, get an email response seconds later: “Ding!” You submit the suit to all the other judicial companies recognized in your area and get the same response. You write to them asking for an explanation and get an automated do-not-reply email. You scan their websites for customer service contacts, but are directed to use the same online form that resulted in your ding.
3:30PM You smoke a lot of weed to calm down and fall asleep
7PM You wake up in a haze and hear some noises in your backyard. A gang with metal detectors is digging up your gold. You grab your trusty Barrett .50cal and tell them to get out. They respond by tossing a grenade through your window. You dive to safety just in time. Everything goes black.
10PM You wake up aching all over. Your gold and guns have been stolen. You dial up your police contractor for help, but they inform you that as you are behind on your payments they cannot help you.
