    Uhm … it’s called dystopia… read up on it. 😋

    Isn’t this how the book Ready Player One worked? Everything outside a metroplex was a lawless wasteland.

      That’s not what a dystopia is. It sounds like you need to read up on it a bit more.

      At least two things are at play here.

      1. Personal shoppers but they steal instead of paying for it

      2. Items like tide detergent getting stolen and resold.
