Since phonecalls, texts, mail, and email are all buried in a flood of increasingly sophisticated spam… how is actual correspondence going to exist in the near future? Procees servers? Seems like communication is about to cease at a societal level.
I’ll bet that one person domesticated dogs from wolves in a single lifetime. And the tribe probably made fun of his “weird wolf obsession” the whole time!
You think that would take centuries? Na, the Soviets domesticated foxes in just a few years and they breed at the same rate.

Most local coin stores limit transactions to $9,999 because paperwork comes into play above that. Gold is now well above $5000 an ounce.

And there is a LOT of antique industrial equipment out there.
