if i was in mad max world i would simply get on my hustle until i proved my value to the water warlords and they promoted me from hood ornament to vice water warlord. working nights and weekends, that sort of thing
I would love a Mad Max movie that’s all about middle management and accounting. Like the guy from the bullet farm who reported the number of bullets used and gallons of "guzzeline" used.
In a feudal society governed by warlords blood lines matter. Importan Joe’s offspring and countless bastards would cut you down for rising above your station.
