295: They're People Too - Think Soylent Green

Show Notes

The year is 2022 and the cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution, and global warming have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water, and housing. New York City has a population of 40 million, and only the elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water, and natural food. The homes of the elite are fortified, with security systems and bodyguards for their tenants. Usually, they include concubines (who are referred to as "furniture"). The poor live in squalor, haul water from communal spigots, and eat highly processed wafers: Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow, and the latest product, far more flavorful and nutritious, Soylent Green. Those who are shaken by the truth that the world has gone to hell, can "return to the home of God" and enjoy the benefits of assisted suicide at a government clinic. But alas, we discover that human bodies from the government euthanasia center are taken to a waste disposal plant where we witness human corpses being processed and turned into Soylent Green. What is the real equivalent of Soylent Green? Let's crypto dance through this world, step by step, inch by inch, setting the stage for another episode of The Paul Truesdell Podcast, Two Pauls in a Pod. 

What is The Paul Truesdell Podcast?

The Paul Truesdell Podcast

Welcome to the Paul Truesdell Podcast. So, what's the gig? Paul records frequently at the Truesdell Professional Building. He eplains a few things about how life works before time gets away. Paul connects the dots, the plot and knots, spots the ops with a heavy dose of knocks, mocks, pots, rocks, socks, and mops. Confused? Then welcome aboard! You see, Paul the Elder enjoys telling complex stories in a way that is easy to understand. While always based on business, economics, and forecasting, having fun, laughing, and being among like-minded men, women, and children from Earth, Pluto, Jupiter, and Neptune is a requirement. Paul the Elder coupled with Team Truesdell, have been there and done it. If you enjoy front porch philosophers who take deep dives and connect the dots, while drinking coffee during the day and a whiskey after five, welcome.
It is a true pleasure to have you onboard.
