Post-Epilogue Branch C: Warren Buffett buys the whole shebang, restores the balance of power to a free-market-driven business model wherein everyone gets to earn what they're worth, according to what they contribute, & rent at market-competitive coco-prices (or choose not to, if they want, since there are now also other options), and makes a portion of the success of the empire available to you in the form of Berkshire-Cocoway Class "A" shares that sell for 80,000 fish heads each, or Class "B" shares that sell for roughly a tenth of that.
