My life in 2020
My best-case scenario future involves living somewhere, anywhere I can grow and cultivate plants. I hope someday to be able to turn back the tide of Monsanto-controlled genetic domination.
Gene diversity is what will get us through a food crisis. You can't store and re-sow Monsanto seeds; you have to buy them again and they may not survive well where you live.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
