I mean, the rate at which people are dying and becoming disabled due to covid can't be sustainable, can it? This country was running on fumes to begin with. Surely a country with an infamously terrible healthcare system, an economy that runs everything with as little margin for error as possible, and a government that has lost its ability to respond to any major disaster that can't be shot at cannot withstand this kind of catastrophe? What do you think things are going to look like five years from now?

Unironically I think I lifted it from a post-apocalyptic show (The 100?). There was a mountain bunker faction that abided by all these Americana trappings for no real reason except for normalcy. Like there was some special worn out suit w/ lapel pin that the "president" wore in the bunker equivalent of the oval office.
