Also any time I take a train / bus combo to and from the airport (NYC, DC, Chicago, Vancouver, Montreal, etc.) I get so pissed that more Americans don’t get to experience the glory of Not Having to Drive and Park at Airports

- TL;DR I would stick closer to original themes like “governments fuck with people for no reason all the time”, “media is a tool weaponized by the state”, “money & status go a long way to appeasing people” & reinforce “women fucked over by men who literally play chess instead of going to therapy”

Make Svetlana a woman training for greatness from childhood like Anatoly who chose love & duty
