Shake Them Off!
There's 8.5 billion of them now. Just a mere second ago (a century by their measure) there was 2 billion of them, and now it's 8.5. Some of their brightest minds think they will peak out at 10 billion and start decreasing in numbers. I know better.

“Don’t call the cops on me!”
Ok, I’ve done it. My phone shows 10,152 steps in for the day at 10:50 pm. As I head to my apartment building, a police car pulls next to me. The driver’s window is open: it’s still hot here this week, sticky warm at night.

Debts you can’t pay. Top Story - September 2024.
I’ve had a huge revelation today and it was truly accidental. I was driving to my favorite berry farm, listening to a radio program about a summer camp run for 10-12 year-old children to learn the basics of economics. The camp was called “BizTown” and the kids first were supposed to apply for a particular job in town, go through a job interview, and then get hired into a job. Not all kids got the job they wanted but most did. And then they were supposed to start a business from scratch. Of course only after they completed some training in debit and credit and foundations of running a small business.

“I’ll Take You to The High Cliff!”. Content Warning.
As a seasoned mountain guide, I can tell a potential jumper relatively easily. There's something about them, a mixture of sadness, determination, and detachment in their movements and on their face, that singles them out. I've been taking people to hike and climb the mountains for over 30 years now and had a fair share of jumpers to deal with.
