In my town, before the Interstates were put in, the county/state transportation departments bought out and set aside strips of land in the 1950s and kept them empty for 20-30 years until construction started in the 1970s. Trees grew in during that time while the land around it got built up. It's weird looking at maps and aerial photos from that time period and seeing empty space. They would have become cool little wooded areas if the highways were never built.
I'm assuming the same happened in New Orleans in the "before" picture: the highway was planned and the land was bought out well in advance, and trees grew in during that time.
Bayer owns Monsanto, or at least its old assets. Monsanto as a company doesn't exist anymore.
Nuclear armageddon almost never seems to happen at night in movies and TV shows. It's always during the daylight.
The only exception I can think of is Threads, where the missiles start flying when it's like 3 in the morning in Washington DC, and even that happens off screen.
These aliens appeared before in S1E7 and they all look like old people. Maybe it's just natural to the species, like they're just born to look and dress like stereotypes of old humans?

When I was on Facebook, I was subscribed to my local city FB page. Every time that damn siren went off, even for actual storm emergencies, people would post asking what that noise is. It got so bad that the city put a YouTube clip of the siren audio on their own website to let people know what it sounds like. But that didn't stop them from asking every damn time.
In my city, the test goes for 15 seconds while the real thing is like 3 to 5 minutes.
Also, apparently they don't even sound a test siren if there is rain or clouds in the area.
I had a coworker tell me, with a straight face, that corporations are socialist because they're owned by a bunch of people who get a share of the profits.
Pay no attention to those obvious signs that the economy is failing, because the stock market has been recovering these past few days! Even though like a month ago we told you to pay no attention to the stock market because the falling numbers don't mean anything!
