The government spends most of its time dealing directly with real problems, like what to do about global warming, space junk impacts, and diplomatic relations with the people on Mars, which is so far away that the first colonizers have formed their own government and are now making serious demands. They have resources out the yin-yang, and we're out of fossil fuels.

Since everybody knows their alotted span, most menial drudgery has been assigned to robots, which has made Sony Corporation the de-facto government of Planet Earth.

They're still working on the immortality pill. Imagine that.


*Carlo M. Cipolla, "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity"
