hey does anyone want to hire me to do literally anything?
I'll work for peanuts, and I'm pretty good at programming in C. I write pretty
well, and I'm excellent at customer service (though my profile would beg to
differ.)
I have experience at large corporations and small ones, and I live in Portland
OR
I do game design, and many other things besides, and I'm friendly and kind. I
promise I won't wear my witch hat to the meeting with investors, unless you
think they'd be into that?
I'm great with animals, better than people in fact, and I'm quite good with
people, as they're just animals at best. I'm not as strange as I seem to be, at
least not when you're dancing with my mask.
I've grown quite bored, you see, and what better thing is there to be? than a
working professional who knows what's best.
I believe in our shared future, so if you'd like to work on a project just let
me know - I work hard. A little too hard, because odds are I'll burn out after
a year or so.
I'm quite sharp, and I learn quickly.

I count 8 pickle jars in my fridge, of which about half have at least one
pickle.

we should build a stockpile of things like this, and if the supply ever dips
below a certain threshold (20% maybe?) we should spin up a new factory that
produces them until we're back at a healthy margin, based on present (and
projected future) demand.
It seems like just a video game console, but these are our heritage. They
define our culture in a way that is incalculable in value. WHY would we ever
run out? It's inconceivable, it's not like they go bad! Okay maybe the
batteries corrode or something, but that's a solvable problem.
Maybe even on the second production run we could improve them somehow, I dunno.
Give them a better processor that's fully backwards compatible, so we can make
new and better games for them.
Or just leave them as they are, I dunno I'm not a market analyst. But the point
is that we, in this technologically advanced future society, should not run out
of gameboys.

Those are things we should account for! As long as someone wants them, they can
just sit in a warehouse forever. And frankly even historians will want at least
a few, even in a thousand years.
EDIT: until needed

copyright is a flawed system, I'm not surprised it would keep us from the best
path forward. >: (
