Well if they are trying to leech off of Hunger Games, this gal isnt. So with all the anarchy, militias and other evils of a lawless society out there, we still can find a tomboy girl with the brains of an ant. Lets go roam the wilds alone cause im a badass girl with a xbow. Lets get water alone away from camp without my xbow and without telling anyone cause im scripted not to die. At least her step mom has a clue. Great job with the tainted booze. Risky if they dont all drink but better then going meekly.
Too bad they didnt come up with a reason gunpowder didnt work too. As it is, all those armories in the US still have the pistols, guns, rifles, machine guns, mortars, bombs, grenades and artillery still around to be used up. Have to wonder why the general would want electricity back. Tanks? you still need to fuel them and do maintence. Jets, see tanks. Gliders with grenades would work in a pinch and not require electricity. Just find it hard to believe with all the excessive amounts of weapons in the US in National Guard armories, Law Enforcement agencies, normal gun shops and the occasional gun nut that guns wouldnt be more common in the militias hands. Must have been one hell of a war to revert back to muzzle loaders.
Be interesting to see why whoever cut the cord was planning on. Back to nature, population control, save mother earth.
