To the Editor of The Sol,

Too much of your focus has been on politics, especially with the upcoming summit between Trump and Putin this week. Us Martians are tired of this constant doom and gloom. Why can’t we focus more on the good parts of Martian life? You could publish stories highlighting our most important colonists, or maybe report on our lifestyle, or even give us somewhere to post memes! We just want more local news that actually affects us. No more of this international politics business, I want to see my neighbors interviewed about their work building our colony. There’s so much that we, as Martians, can be proud of, but all that you seem to be interested in publishing is doomer politics.
