I remember when the government shut off the food and water supply to the lower classes. They didn't do it directly. They raised the prices. Just enough that people couldn't afford it. There wasn't enough water for everyone. Millions of people died over it. Of dehydration. Some were murdered for the water they had. The middle classes had trouble paying the money too. Many of the people had to choose between water and electricity. The people that chose water froze to death because they couldn't heat heir homes. Or couldn't afford food and starved. People started to resort to murder and cannibalism. There wasn't enough to eat. Things got worse from there. Governments all over the world crumbled. There were revolts. Billions died. Just like that, the superior species of earth was destroyed. The earth will live on, i'm sure of that. It will heal itself, slowly. But there will never be another human living here.
