I THINK IN TEN YEARS, WE WILL HAVE THE CURE FOR MOST MAJOR DISEASES.
THAT'S GREAT, RAT. IT'S NICE TO HEAR YOU BE POSITIVE FOR A CHANGE.
THANKS.
THOUGH IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE A.I. WILL HAVE KILLED US ALL.
COULDN'T DO IT, COULD YOU?
I'M AS POSITIVE AS LIFE LETS ME BE.

HEY, RAT, THE COMPANY WOULD LIKE ALL OF YOU EMPLOYEES TO HELP DRAFT OUR COMPANY'S MISSION STATEMENT.
IT SHOULD REFLECT OUR VALUES AS A CORPORATION AND A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

THANKS BUT NO THANKS.
IT DOES REFLECT OUR VALUES.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE, RAT?
AN ERECTOR SET.
GIVEN YOUR AGE, I BET YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THESE IN YEARS.

IF AFTER YOU DIE, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO ASK GOD TO REVEAL THE ANSWER TO ONE OF LIFE'S GREAT MYSTERIES, WHAT WOULD YOU ASK?
HOW THEY BUILT THE PYRAMIDS. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHY WE KEEP ALL THOSE PENS BY THE PHONE EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THEM WORK.

I MEAN, I STAY INFORMED.
I LOOK AT ALL THE RELEVANT WEB SITES.

HE'S EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA.
SO CLOSED-MINDED.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING. JEF THE CYCLIST
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT. WE'RE GONNA ORDER THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO EAT LIKE CYCLISTS. EXERCISE LIKE CYCLISTS. AND DISCIPLINE THEMSELVES LIKE CYCLISTS.

NO WONDER WE'RE SUPERIOR.

YEAH, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY?
WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT GOOD, MIDDLE-CLASS JOBS THAT USED TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY WERE MOVED OVERSEAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HEDGE FUNDS AND CORPORATIONS FAR RICHER THAN YOU.
TOGETHER WITH THEIR CAPTIVE JUDGES AND POLITICIANS, THEY ARE PART OF AN ELITE CLASS WHO HAVE BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY MORE POWERFUL WHILE THE REST OF US ARGUE OVER BATHROOMS.
SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT.

SOUNDS LIKE I'VE BEEN A PHILANTHROPIST FOR YEARS.

BUT THAT'S HOW YOU'VE LIVED YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
