There is an unfortunate upside to the current political environment. The worst, most immoral people now feel free to expose themselves for who they are, and we should note them. These people, businesses, churches, and groups can never be trusted again. For them, there is no going back.

Freedom to believe in mythology. CHECK. Freedom to speak for or against anything. CHECK. Freedom to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. CHECK. Freedom to lie or deceive? NOPE.

I have lived my life believing it should be as brilliant as a comet in the night sky. It was disappointing to learn that life is about spending decades gathering the things you need so when the appropriate time comes, you can display what you've gathered. Also, comets are not very bright.

Coming on 1 May. Fortnight: a murder adventure on Amazon Kindle. In 2034, police departments in Denver farm out detective work to privatized licensed contract investigators. Geoffrey Suaro is an upcoming LCI who lands a P1 contract to hunt down a serial killer whose first kill is on Mother's Day.

The primary function of business in a society is NOT to make money. Its function is to provide services and products that the citizens need and/or want. Greed makes business unsustainable. Service to the citizens makes business relevant.

Earth to Mars = 2 days.
By maintaining 1G acceleration halfway to Mars, and 1G deceleration the 2nd half, it will take 1 day 17 hours assuming Earth/Mars minimum distance.
Radiation exposure, the food and water supply, etc. are reduced to the time spent on Mars.
