Prompts = Blessed, Poverty, Cargo
Story New — Defeating Poverty
The Blessed Sisters of Saint Portnoy were resolved to solve the poverty crisis using the latest discoveries in Quantum Multiplication.
You know the effect — place a small item, like a mustard packet, into a dark drawer and shortly after you can start harvesting them. They never run out.
Same goes for change under sofa cushions.
The sisters theorized that under the right conditions — the appropriate placement of the correct monetary denomination — a small but meaningful income could be harvested.
That research explains the cargo container full of small change and secondhand furniture pulled up in front of a rented warehouse.

The city was faced with a decision — invest in public transit? Or invest in an alternative?
After a long and contentious debate, the decision was made to set up a program for group-share automobiles. The reasoning was that having the ability to transport stuff was vital, thus the program’s name “Cargo”.
Millennials embraced the decision, but those in poverty weren’t so happy. They complained that unlike Yuppies, they aren’t blessed with the ability to rent the cars, either not having credit cards, or they’re being prohibitively expensive.
Despite the complaints, the city council doubled down by buying more cars.
