Reprise a la 2003.

"They used to say one nuclear bomb could ruin your whole day. It was sort of a joke until the June morning those terrorist bozos whacked us with an electromagnetic pulse from 80 miles up. You always hear people yapping on how it was all different before the Pulse. Land of milk and honey, blah, blah, blah, blah, with plenty of food and jobs, and things actually worked. I was too young to remember, so, whatever...

The thing I don’t get it why they call it a depression. I mean, everybody’s broke, but they aren't really all that depressed.

Life goes on.

America really thought they had it dialed in, money hanging out the butt. But it was all just a bunch of ones and zeros in a computer someplace. So when that bomb went ka-blooey, and the electro-magnetic pulse turned all the ones and zeros into plain old zeros, everyone was like, 'No way.'

Now America's just another broke ex-superpower looking for a handout and wondering why."
