"Good morning, class," Anakin said, sweeping into the room with a steaming cup of coffee. Of course he hadn't brought any to share. Are you new? "Today we talk about the power of money, and the moral issues that arise with that. Are there things that money shouldn't be able to buy? Do those things exist in your dimensions? After a quick discussion, I'll give you a hypothetical scenario as well for you to discuss among yourselves."

"Better public health care," Petra said. "A lot of places in Europe--and, hell, Canada already has it, and their societies haven't crumbled yet. I mean, my mom could have died, and she didn't, and I'm so, so glad she didn't, but now we have a boatload of debt and I might not get my surgery for who knows how long. A sixteen-year-old in Germany got...the procedure I need, and the government picked up the bill. But I have to wait until I'm eighteen at least and pay a ton of money I don't have because some people start crying Communism whenever anyone tries to reform health care in this country. I don't know. That might just be my reality." Sadly, it wasn't.
