Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?

Personally I'm thinking the one of slightly sexy cultists who worship bodega cats.

How about you comrades?

I'm already shitposting fodder as it is so I'll probably join the Buzzards.

Whilst not being a Russian scavenger obsessed with echidnas, I am British and therefore allergic to the sun so I see the appeal of wrapping up and living underground mostly.

I'm not gonna pull up the wiki but I believe the canon is that they all live in a sunken city or airport and that's why they have access to all the car parts which provides trade and barter networks. I'm just not quite ready to eat dog food and bugs.

Yeah, they definitely live in a sunken city (airport too I think) and scavenge the parts from there. I can't remember why they're Russian or Russian-coded but I'm pretty sure that's right.

The echidna thing is just because of their spiky cars and that there's a fact on one of the commentaries that one of the cars has the exact number of spikes on it that an echidna has spines because someone in the fabrication team is a huge nerd.
