Planet First
I sometimes question the rules of economics. I often wonder if maybe we got it wrong somehow, somewhere back along the way. People need things. They want things. Other people have those things and they are willing to part with them to help satisfy the needs and wants of others. Those that have the needed or wanted items will charge a fee for the provision of said items to help compensate themselves for the time and effort needed to supply (grow, produce, extract, manufacture, etc.) those things. The greater the need or the want, coupled with the strength or weakness of the supply chain, will help to determine the (monetary??) value of the item(s). This is what I understand to be the basis of world economy and local micro-economy alike.

Though eco-anxiety is not yet a diagnosable condition, therapists and researchers have noted a sharp rise in the number of people anxious about climate change and environmental degradation. This anxiety is today referred to as eco-anxiety.

Dragon Child Distress Chronicles
There was no moon tonight. All eight of them seemed to be hiding behind the Jander World for some reason. Maybe they were hiding because they sensed some impending chaos or doom and did not want to be party to it. A kind of disclaimer, so to speak. It didn't matter. they would have to answer for it anyway. Zearbar would see to it. Then punish them accordingly. As I peered toward Jandar World I could see flickers and light pulses coming from behind it and this concludes that I am right about my assumption. They were hiding. I then softly whispered to Jealith, the largest moon. "Whatever the event will be, we need a witness. Take your place and give coverage." Slowly, Jealith crept out from behind the large planet and took up a place in the dark sky. I then looked back at Jandar World to see the other moons peeking.
