    The qualifier base is exactly right. Like we use base as a pejorative, but it is what we are. That is our base state.

    You know what itd take to drop us back to this level? I would say about a week without electricity. If you said to any given group of what, 50 people. Pick numbers out of a hat. The person with the dot dies, but the electricity comes back on. That would be enough.
