I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Everybody saying “it’s alright, I have Google” remember they removed “don’t be evil” from their company mission.

So, has anyone written a novel about a resistance led by park rangers?
For some reason, I’m currently subsisting on dystopian fiction and non-fiction (current novel is about a WWII spy so I suppose you could call that “dystopian non-fiction”).
