      Except in the realistic version of the story, the Bell Riots lead to more riots, which lead to a militarized police state, which lead to an economic boom for authoritarian-protected oligarchy, which lead to financial collapse and the eradication of the middle-class, which lead to more tentd-cities and shanties, forced migration, rampant disease and starvation… etc, etc.
