TWO WOMEN PUSHING SHOPPING CARTS IN A GROCERY STORE

HEY CLAIRE! HOW YOU DOING?

OH, I’M FINE!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: FREAKING OUT, ACTUALLY.

ANY PLANS THIS WEEKEND?

THOUGHT BUBBLE: WILL THERE BE A COUNTRY TOMORROW?

YEAH, JUST HAVING NEIGHBORS OVER FOR DINNER.

THOUGHT BUBBLE: AND STOCKING UP ON NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS IN CASE SUPPLY CHAINS COLLAPSE.

COSTS A LITTLE EXTRA THESE DAYS, HEH HEH!

WELL, HAVE A GOOD ONE!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: MAY AS WELL ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU CAN.

TAKE CARE!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: HEAVEN HELP US ALL

      Have you been paying attention to anything? Like, at all? Did you just wake up from a coma?

      Fear of society to collapse or civil war to break out, I guess. Sentence could use a “still”

              At this point I’m convinced either English is second language and you learned it entirely from a single shampoo bottle label, or you’re trolling everyone and just coming off as mentally challenged.

              A country is not land. A country is a human construct. Usually, a country is situated on land. The Soviet Union is no longer a country, but several other countries now occupy its land.

              A country is usually seen as its government. If the government ceases to function, the country effectively no longer exists.

              Does that make more sense?

                ok yeah that does make sense, but still the soviet union didn’t collapse in one day right?

                  I honestly don’t know. If the government declared itself void via some action, then maybe? I really have no idea

                  People tend to exaggerate in their thoughts anyway, so this is reasonable to imagine someone thinking.
