Thinking about Loxlee Manufacturing is so wild because, you know, they make lightbulbs. Those lightbulbs are the reason countless people in the Fold survive and make do, and those aren't even people within the Trust. They are probably the vehicle through which the Trust is able to establish notaries beyond their current boundaries and make a convenient example for notaries to put forward. The fact that it bears the name Loxlee allows the Loxlees to automatically be the Most Valorous People in Trust society, and they're not even the ones making the lightbulbs. In fact, they're employing child laborers— ahem, I mean, disadvantaged young interns who are getting an education and experience.
Really just makes me want to do a propaganda flyby of the Loxlee Headquarters islet and drop the Communist Manifesto in pamphlet form because holy hell somebody's gotta do it.
