I upvoted you.

What you wrote sounds a bit "out there", but, like Margaret Atwood's work, it's actually not too far away.

> Who is vulnerable? Who is immune?

I'm reminded of Hiro Protagonist (living in a storage unit), or Ready Player One protagonist (living in some impoverished mobile home stack) -- these are the "vulnerable".

As for "immune", it's the people who "control the supply":

P.S. Like all real-world examples, we have an exception -- Felon Husk, who gets high on his own supply, making him simultaneously victim and perpetrator.
