"That's okay, still ice in The Rock and a miner expects to sound
for it. But Authority pays same price for ice now as thirty years ago.
And that's not okay. Worse yet. Authority scrip doesn't buy what it used
to. I remember when Hong Kong Luna dollars swapped even for Authority
dollars--Now it takes three Authority dollars to match one HKL dollar. I
don't know what to do... but I know it takes ice to keep warrens and
farms going."
That one hits home.
