Mr. Green just wanted to make it home for dinner.
Instead, he faces deep space scurvy, bureaucratic betrayal, and the uncomfortable truth that survival comes at a cost.
In this episode of The Economy of Nothing, Mike, Mike Allen, and Ryan dive into Mr. Green’s fractured loyalty, Captain Tracy’s stubborn morality, and the myth of Deep Space Scurvy. Plus: for-profit orphanages, gladiator pits, and a galaxy that runs on deadlines, not dreams.
