Yes, be good little worker bees and appreciate the scraps you get. The corn you pick out of the stools of animals tastes fine if you rinse it well enough. Your cup overfloweth. Don't look up.

This year some of them didn't. Caught a load of spring growth in December, which then got nuked by snow.

A mute swordmage on a first date with a pretty and huge elven half-orc, but they have not revealed their mutism to their date yet. They're trying to bluff their way through by having their talking raven speak for them using a throw voice spell, but the pair had a falling out ahead of time and now the raven is sabotaging the date to their point that a battle breaks out. Can the swordmage resolve the situation and repair relationships old and new without even being able to speak?

Break up the massive corporations, restore the anti-trust laws that presided over the most prosperous and fairest decades, hunt down and close the tax loopholes and set a tax rate that ensures the rich pay their fair share (and not, for example, less than I do), set extremely strict political donation limits and campaign spending limits to get the money out of politics, cut corporate welfare and support small businesses instead, establish a single-payer healthcare system to negotiate on behalf of everyone and so shift the negotiating power in favour of the patient, crack down on obscene pharmaceutical profiteering and limit corporate CEO bonuses and shareholder dividends so that their money actually goes into research and not megayachts and lobbyists.

I think we can afford to fix substantially more problems than we even try to, and eliminating the corrosive effect of profit-driven enterprise would go along way toward doing that, as would eliminating the very possibility of the ultra rich. Most people have no concept of how rich a handful of people are, for the same reason they can't quite grasp the size or age of the universe.
