Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?
Personally I'm thinking the one of slightly sexy cultists who worship bodega cats.
How about you comrades?
People will buy [groceries, which usually rely on abundant shelf storage space and refrigeration and the trust of name-recognition and the advantage of a fixed, predictable location] at below-market prices and resell them
I'll be part of the gang that buys up produce to resell it, but to keep it from spoiling, stores it in brine and then carts it around on rickshaws at zero cost to sell in the black market, proving this abstract model of economics right.
This gang is known as
the Pickle Ricks.
Man I hope NYC turns into Necromunda
Imma join the gang that worships gasoline and bullets... wait...
Combatribes had some of the absolute best gang names so I will be joining the Motorcycle Nuclear Warheads or the Slash Skate Screamers
True. I remember two bosses call Salamander and one that I think was unfortunately just called Swastika.
Motorcycle Nuclear Warheads reminds of that guy from Snow Crash.
idk, the moonrunners, maybe the electric eliminators
Sucker for a shiny jacket.
I'm joining the Atom Cats. I want sweet power armor.
One of the best patches of all time.
I agree, the logo is super cool and the group is just a bunch of greasers being cool and chill in power armor.
- Private grocery stores [...] will go bankrupt.
- Food shortages develop
Because food is produced by grocery stores as we all know. And after the private stores go bankrupt the government ones magically disappear I guess.
