wow... that was a awesome post.... but if you do't mind. I would like to point out one small thing. Food....
most people either eat krill, scop or kibble. Anything fresh like meat would cost too much for 1oz. what is kibble.... well purina ( yes the dog food people) took over the main stay after america's bread basket failed. The USA couldn't feed itsself so most food companys found way to just keep us alive. So... most food either is dog food or comes out of a plastic toothpaste tube like the astronuats minus the great taste of tang!. you want pizza?... its in a tube, you want steak?... what might look like toothpaste and TASTE nothing like steak is what you will get.
This is why everyone is basicly an edgerunner... everyone is always starving. For most edgerunners everything that is own is carried. Everyone sleeps on the ground or a cardboard box unless they have money.
Once again, I loved reading the post, the colors and the details.....
