Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a historic and entirely unexpected turn of events, the Supreme Court, in a move that would make George Orwell blush, has officially declared that history is now the property of the government. This groundbreaking decision, made in the landmark case "Orwell vs. The People," has set a precedent that has left economists, historians, and civil libertarians alike scratching their heads in bewilderment.

The ruling, penned by the enigmatic and surprisingly autocratic Justice History, states that since history has been recorded and preserved by governments throughout the ages, the state naturally holds the copyright to all historical events and documents. This means that from now on, anyone wishing to write, teach, or even mention the fact that "The Cat in the Hat" was once a bestseller must first secure a government-issued license.

The economic implications of this decision are as mind-boggling as they are dystopian. The government, now the sole owner of history, has announced the launch of its own line of historical products, including "Authentically Inauthentic" reenactments of historical events, where actors dressed as founding fathers recite lines from history textbooks written by the Department of Education.

In a separate but equally staggering move, the Treasury Department has unveiled a new currency, the "Historical Dollar," which features the faces of historical figures whose stories are now strictly government-controlled. The back of the bill, adorned with a montage of iconic moments from American history, carries a fine print disclaimer that reads, "These events are subject to change based on governmental reinterpretation and are not intended to serve as accurate representations of history."

Critics of the decision argue that this is a blatant attack on freedom of expression and a step towards a totalitarian regime where the government dictates not only the past but also the future narrative. Proponents, however, claim that this will lead to a more "unified" and "controlled" understanding of history, which is essential for the greater good of society.

As the country grapples with the implications of this new reality, citizens are left wondering what other aspects of life could potentially fall under government control. Will next year's model cars come with a "Creative Freedom Restricted" label? Will the government start issuing permits for dreams? The possibilities are as endless as they are terrifying.

In the end, it seems that history, once a source of wisdom and a testament to human resilience, has been transformed into a commodity, a tool in the hands of those who wish to shape the world according to their own vision. And as we stand at the crossroads of this dystopian economic future, one can't help but feel a deep sense of déjà vu, as if we've been here before, in a world where some stories are simply too good to check.
