Darkness, green smog and rain. Always the rain. Weather in Los Angeles never seem to change, there´s just short respites with no downpour. It´s as if nature is fighting back against the violation of her being.
The cause of the dark hour of life on Earth is unknown but scientists theorize that over-consumption is the cause of the set back.

Most parts of Los Angeles have been depopulated due to hazardous housing. The areas deemed good enough to live in are concentrated to downtown L.A. Areas outside downtown have some inhabitants mostly consisting of Specials or criminals.
This all gives a feeling of L.A. being overpopulated. In a sense it´s true, but actions can be taken to improve the standard of conapt buildings far from downtown.

The question is: Who´s going to pay for it?

The poor, down and out people get burial lots in the cemeteries. The rich, on the other hand, can afford medical care and prolonged life – in cryonic suspension.
Some are opposed to this technology as ”we only are given a certain time here in life”. Mercerites believe that enduring the strife of life is the purpose of life and death. “To alter the way of nature is what got us where we are at now”.
