It’s not that the government or authority figures didn’t exist, it’s just that they were irrelevant. Life descended into a free for all and while the narrator talks about the president and cops, they aren’t central to the story in any meaningful way. The country’s been picked clean, burned down, and everyone is left to fend for themselves. The narrative keeps making the point that it doesn’t matter what the authority is doing wherever they are because everyone now has to shape their own world.
