Description
THE MCDONALD'S on Spring Street has shut down. I had sold my first edition of Infinite Jest for $500,000 and figured I would treat myself to a Happy Meal. But when I got there, the manager was boarding up. "Can't get potatoes, can't get meat," he told me. "It's all the hoarding in the Farm Belt." I can't blame the farmers; why sell food for worthless dollars when you can make real money exporting to Mexico? Di Tommasso's down the block is still open, but I can't afford $1 million for their linguini a la vongole. They have no problem getting supplies since the owner was savvy enough to shift his assets into Swiss francs early. The speculators and oligarchs who eat there pay in foreign currency.
