- Dust Bowl/Depression=Blight/Food Riots
- AADA vs BLUD=NFL vs XFL
- Land-based inter-city communication, power and such is pretty much a thing of the past, due to the inability of the gov't to protect hardware from Raiders and such throughout the Badlands (intra-city stuff remains the same)...no telephone wires or cables.
