About the Author

In this tale, Inkfeather introduces readers to the interfering Liz Enko, a useful idiot, and embodiment of Hanlon’s Razor.

The name Liz Enko is a play on words, referring to the catastrophically stupid Soviet era biologist Trofim Lysenko whose adherence to ideology in the face of empirical data to the contrary lead to the needless starvation of millions across asia.

The effect of which is to externalize the harm of industry onto the population, only benefiting the wealthy exploitive businesspeople.
