When the country went on fixed income..

..and businesses would not shut down, starting with hospitals in the northeast, the apocalypse had begun because summer never ended.

People stopped looking for jobs, because noone went outside. Instead of temp services, healthcare took entire food and janitorial departments and made them run medical records and radiology like one, giant musical chairs. Employees weren't allowed to go home sleeping instead in hallways on cots.

There was a depression greater than the great depression. It started in the northeast and quickly spread to the rest of the nation.
