*This entry was slated for yesterday, June 5, but had to be delayed until today.
Imagine if you will, that you awake tomorrow morning in your bed. You are well-rested. You pull out your phone and thumb through your apps. Each gathered in folders, i.e. news, messaging and science, etc. The news is covering important free elections in foreign countries and domestic affairs here at home. You place your phone back on your night-stand and move toward the kitchen to grab a box of cereal. Nothing seems different. But, something feels off. Almost serene and balanced.
You exit your house after you have showered and dressed and you move toward your hybrid electric car, which impresses you since it gets fifty miles per gallon. You look see that each house has solar panels are painted to appear the same colors as the roof tiles. You drive down the street and see a cop dressed in his uniform with holstered a taser gun, no lethal weaponry in sight. He enters a healthy fast food restaurant for lunch, which perplexes you further.
When you arrive at work, your boss announces that everyone will be getting a raise at the end of the month and that you have all earned it. The bulletin board in the conference room ranks employee happiness as opposed to profit margins of the world you fell asleep to. You log-in to your office computer, there are no cubicles just desks, the internet opens to showing a newscaster updating you on the prisons being shut down and the military slowly being disbanded.
You visit your parents at their property some miles outside the city, they are enjoying their retirement. Your mother having survived a bout with cancer with the government's free healthcare apparatus and stem cell injections. Your father having had his lungs restored using the same kind of stem cell injections. You enjoy a wonderful evening with them, as you recall the old days, not missing a single moment. You have no student loans, the government has provided you free college. Tomorrow, you will return to work at your aerospace firm building the next generation of Earth-Moon transfer vehicles.
You return home late, play for a little while on your new next gen V.R. system. Feeling tired you return to your bed to sleep. You wish this world was the one you could live in and you wonder if you'll ever be able to return to it. Unfortunately, you wake up in the morning and find yourself in your apartment paying $1,000 a month and barely have enough money for food each month. Today, you begin your day as a full-time student at the local community college and part-time work as a parking lot attendant. You awe $10,000 in student loans and your dreams are merely ideas. Welcome to America...
