Oh, okay then...

I'll just post my idea here, in case anyone else wants to use it.

The year's 2149. Downtown Chicago, or what's left of it, is a veritable prison. No guards, save for the mutated creatures that prowl the streets. Food is extremely hard to come by. Once a month, the doors on all the buildings unlock, and a countdown clock begins to tick down. This is "raid day", where citizens are encouraged to pillage any remaining edible food the city has left. Raids are a concept that most American cities have adopted, albeit in extremely varying ways.
The story follows a group of four people attempting to make it out of the city, and escape up north.

Shitty, I know, but the thought of a post-apoc road trip fascinates me.

A story about white privilege. A young white man is overwhelmed by his choices and doesn't know what to do with his life. Then the global white conspiracy gives him a check for $50k and tells him to go to Hollywood. He asks for a job to have something to do and the oppressed jews are pushed aside to grant him his privilege. He works his way up the ladder under the tutelage of the powerful Hollywood bosses Hans Hansen Hansensson and Erik Whiteyman. Eventually the jews organize and demand equality and he has to question his privilege. Will he stand by his white supremacist Hollywood elites or will he join the oppressed in their call for fairness?

Dick Lundquist here. I'd like to buy the film rights if the ending involves the young man defeating the ravenous oppressed jew hordes with a chainsaw and kung fu.
