《Idealism》The Start of Change (5)
Advertisement
The discussion starts.
"1st, we have infrastructure projects being built in the low-income households right now. The shortest requires another month, and the longest requires at least, if my memory does not fail me, a year and approximately a half."
Joseph remains quiet, and motions for whoever is speaking to continue.
"2nd, where would we build your... cheaper apartment buildings? In the very same households that need them? Where would they go while its being built?
Joseph motions for them to stop. He says, "Sorry, let me write down your questions." He starts writing.
"3rd, what would the terms of the policy to lower the price of houses be?
4th, where would we even find someone, or a warrant, or even a reason to search through the records of the hospitals?
5th, what if there is no such eviedence that the hospital raised the prices, or anything along that line?
6th, how far should the minimum wage be raised?
7th, how will you allow employers to have more money at hand to pay their employees?
8th, how would you ensure that employers do not take the money for themselves?
9th, well, this isn't really a question, but are we supposed to brainstorm the new jobs for the mentally and physically now...?"
Joseph looks up. "We can do that later. Is that all of your questions?"
"No. 10th, how would you begin to lessen the reasons for people to do crime? Even then, what about the ex-convicts that are already out there?
11th, how would you lower the qualification for jobs? You can't just go into companies and start asking them to lower their qualifications.
12th, will you share your thoughts on nationalising industries and providing incentives and subsidies? And, if so, when?
13th, even if the app to report domestic abuse works, what do we do to the offenders and the victims?

14th, where would you build the facilities to work against addiction? Even then, how would you ensure that people will come over and be willing to talk to the workers there?
15th, what would the terms of the Brexit deal be?
16th, do you understand the implications of making a livestream that essentially strongarms billionaires into giving money to the government?
17th, do you know how many scientists we have working on weapon projects right now? And how high their yearly cost of living is?"

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.

I was just like everyone else. At least, I thought so. Everyone grew up in a mansion with servants, trained to be a debutante, had a traveling archeologist for a father, and gave it all up to do whatever the hell they wanted. Right? Well that’s what I did. I was happy. As happy as a single twenty four year old girl can be living in an apartment selling shit online to pay the bills. Not actual shit, that's gross. No, I bought stuff from garage sales, thrift stores, and junk shops, and resold it in my online store. I was pretty good at finding stuff to peddle to my customers. I made rent every month and didn’t have to strip. I’m a bit too chunky to swing around a pole anyway. Life was great! Until two sexy men broke into my apartment and woke me up from the most erotic dream my sexually depraved mind could come up with. One was between my legs, the other was... Oh well, it was a dream and I didn’t even get to finish it. Those bastards! Now I’m supposed to believe my dead father wasn’t an archeologist, but some kind of paranormal agent working for a secret organization called The Guard. My ability to find items for my customers is just a perk inherited from him. And I’m supposed to use my inherited powers to save the world. All while these hunks of man flesh guard me from other paranormals out to get whatever the hell they think I have. A certain body part is dripping with excitement, literally. But my mind is saying “Hell No!”
