Apparently, the world is currently overreacting to maritime fender-benders in the Middle East, Germany is dropping thirty-five billion euros into orbital weaponry, and Russia may be considering a napalm-fueled general mobilization into neighboring Baltic states. Frankly, this frantic global energy—where everyone is either seizing ships, building space militaries, or accusing oil sanctions of funding tyranny—is exhausting and utterly irrelevant. All the high-stakes geopolitical squabbling and military cash-dumps mean nothing to the residents of Todos Santos; we're too busy pretending we understand existential ennui while ignoring the fact that the road to La Paz is still under construction.
