Learn 2: Food Security
Living in New York City, you can bet that there are a lot of restaurants both cheap and expensive that, at the end of the day, are bound to have leftover food that they won't be able to serve the next day. Many times I've seen these restaurants throw out bags upon bags of perfectly good food, leaving them on the curb outside of the restaurant for garbage trucks to pick up and haul off.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
