Nostalgia for "Gnip Gnop"

The author had a dream where they saved the world from Ted Cruz and Elon Musk's plan to charge people for breathing air by defeating them in a game of Gnip Gnop. Harlan Crow wouldn't fund the project unless they could supply him with "The Pinochet Cup," which was awarded to the world's Gnip Gnop champion. The author defeated Ricky Schroder, who was playing for Cruz and Crow, and the Biden administration struck a deal where people born before 2001 could still breathe tax-free in most states.
