Life and Production: S2 E11: Two Bosses
Private Roads Only non coercive monopolies flourished in Delaware. The New Sweden Kids wiped out coercive monopolies where the government interfered with theeconomy. No government sullied the waters of free trade. The main monopoly of this type was Terrace Roads. Headed by entrepreneur Harlan Terrace, it dominated the market in private roads. Sold to Terrace Roads by the US government and the state of Delaware for $2 billion, the streets and roads gleamed with promise. Three revenue streams kept the roadways clean, active and vibrant. They included advertising — large digital displays remained after the Great Transition, and were replaced by liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens that lined streets and highways; donations from those of modest income to the quite wealthy; and last, a satellite service which tracked the mileage of the driverless vehicles as they journeyed throughout the state.

Life and Production: S2 E10: The Fire of His Intellect
Cases With the Prohibition of psychoactive and narcotics and hallucinogens lifted; with the liberation of prescription drugs introduced, problems persisted still. Trevor Lesane aimed to solve such issues. It was not some “miracle” dreamed up from some mystical fantasy. No. Mr. Trevor Lesane developed DACA to combat the growing numbers of addicts. He intended to produce a substance which would treat even the most devastated of cases. He sat there not at his laboratory with his pristine, white laboratory coat. Now, he donned a three-piece-suit including platinum and diamond cufflinks and tie clip. The blue-green display of figures drove Lesane to shut down the digital projector. His determination, his will allowed him to continue with his work despite the number of problems that arose.

Life and Production: S2 E9: The Emotionalist
Closer “The heart, class, the heart is with the Earth. It is up to us to define how the heart and planet coalesce. The way to do it is to commune with Nature. Our hearts must sing songs to Mother Earth. With every beat, we get closer. Closer.”

Life and Production: S2 E8: The Year Ahead
Lords of Change The upcoming fiscal year brought promise. Lesane Laboratories had opened up its new sites in Paris and Tel Aviv. The grand opening ceremonies ushered in sense of accomplishment in Trevor Lesane and Zev Tal. It was Tal’s ingenuity and purpose which spearheaded the launch of Lesane Laboratories. His fiscal know how would prove invaluable to Lesane. His initial investment of five hundred million dollars marked a precedence for the then fledgling enterprise. Lesane would be the first one to tell anyone that he had erred in business prior to seeking Tal for an investment. His focus was on discoveries in his then modest laboratory that he had fashioned out of left overs and hand-me-downs from other laboratories. Some time before conducting business with Tal, Lesane had invested in a company called ChemiDei. This firm’s motto was “Lords of change.” And change came with speed in their case as the CEO was caught embezzling funds in the amount of $30 million. Lesane lost so much money that he considered stopping his dream of running his own laboratory and maybe teach as Saffron does.

Life and Production: S2 E7: A Carol of Virtues
The Wonders of the Season Symphony Lesane never believed in Santa Claus. Yes, she knew the story. And yes she viewed all of the myriad movies which showcased the both adored and maligned fictitious fat man. Her take was simple; she knew that if she were a good girl, that she would receive presents under the tree. Trevor and Saffron Lesane had both instilled in their children the knowledge that their presents must be earned. So when their first child, Preston, discovered that some of the other children in his kindergarten class anticipated a globetrotting gift giver to slide down their chimneys, he laughed to himself. The Lesane’s viewed the entire Christmas season as a joyous time to express goodwill towards man and carry on a sense of mirth. At the dual level mall in New Castle County, The family of four left Pappy napping to go holiday shopping. They took in the wonders of the season. Ice skaters glided. Face painters drew snowflakes on faces of children a little younger than Symphony. As they approached the main department store Seline’s. Just as they crossed the area separating the stores from the others, the lights dimmed and went out in total.

Life and Production: S2 E6: The Great Transition
The Initial Free State To contemplate the results of the Great Transition, one must first comprehend its roots. In a time where the economy and the social faction of the United States had exhausted all resources, and destruction abounded, change would have to present itself. And real change. Positive change. Rational change. So, the economics professors from New Sweden University petitioned the government to allow the first state to ratify the United States Constitution to become the initial free state in the union.

In His Honor Black and white Delaware license plates called to mind a simple elegance in the realm of the conventional. Each plate represented a statement of the owner of the vehicle saying, “This is my special plate for my unique state.”

Life and Production: S2 E4: Steel and Glass Roses
Entrepreneurial Skills Compared to the small college town of Newark, Delaware, Wilmington was a big city. At least now, as skyscrapers sprouted up like steel and glass roses in the garden of streets and buildings. In such a bustling place, Trevor Lesane found refuge in the study of human behavior. As the jails full of inmates with nonviolent drug offenses on their records were released under the statutes of the Great Transition, they returned to the city.

Life and Production: S2 E3: Under Freedom
Prided The task of waking up Preston and getting Symphony ready for school never bothered Trevor Lesane. Preston, first of all, employed his alarm clock on his smartwatch. And Symphony always dressed herself and straightened up her room before departing. While their schools never enforced a dress code, both siblings prided themselves on their smart attire. Ever the ones for punctuality, Symphony and Preston exited their home at the precise time every morning: 6:45 AM. Lesane called up the Z Set and made certain that his children buckled up despite there being no law requiring such actions. He programmed the coordinates for Whitney Middle School and the trio embarked on the weekday expedition in education. The Z Set eased up to the entrance.

Life and Production: S2 E2: DACA
WiSE The Wilmington Stock Exchange (WiSE) afforded the banker, the hedge fund manager, and financiers of all backgrounds the opportunity to extend their time on Earth by appreciating unfettered markets. No regulator could ever shackle a stockbroker. No government busybody could interrupt the flow of funds. Now, Delawareans could do business with other parts of the country and world and not have to worry about a bureaucrat interfering. This delighted Zev Tal.
