Currency worth less than World of Warcraft gold, people butchering zoo animals because they're starving to death, medical centers running out of basic supplies to treat simple injuries, can no longer pay to keep skilled workers to drill for the oil upon which the remnants of the economy are wholly dependent...list goes on.
