Many of you have just obeyed your Government Overlords and whisked 
yourselves off into another time. I'm sure you will save many 
gigaschlocks of electricity.

I am refusing to comply. I am not going to update any of the clocks 
under my control. For all its faults, I like the present. I refuse to 
leave it. What's more, I intend to oppose da Man in this matter. How, 
you ask? And how can you help? Very kind of you.

Since you are/will be now/then in the future, you can report to me the 
future's financial information, such as stock prices.

But Mike, you ask, how can we converse across time? Computers, the 
Interweb, a series of tubes -- it's technical, I respond, giving you a 
patronizing pat on the head. Don't you worry your pretty little head 
about it. But Mike, you annoyingly persist, aren't the financial 
institutions in the future with us? Didn't I tell you to shove off 
already, I kindly inquire. Go get me some stock tips.
