[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The infertile of the new ruling class was spared. Regular infertile women were sent to work camps to clean toxic waste. [/quote]
Yeah that should have been updated bc it makes no sense. What does that even me "clean up toxic waste"
Since they talk about websites and people have cell phones it's clear the time frame they are using is right now or in the future. Right now we don't need people to clean up toxic waste bc it's mechanized. It wouldn't make sense to undue that and would cause more harm to everyone.

What would be great is if they reveal that the camps are just basically boring type suburbs but the use the whole threat of toxic waste to keep the handmaids in line and too scared to escape.

We don't know about the war tactics used to establish Gilead except for the assault on Congress, which was said to be terrorists but was insinuated to be a act orchestrated by Gilead founders to establish Martial Law and advance their overthrow of democracy. I can totally imagine a nuclear assault on the Great State of California (so many unwomen, gender traitors, and Sons of Jacob, amirite!!)

In June's world, the United States flag only has two starts: one for Alaska, the other for Hawaii. The contiguous U.S. is now the Republic of Gilead. How much fight did it take to establish, and at what cost?

The Hulu series differs from the book in that the Children of Cain were not also expelled and sent to the colonies for labor. That is a modern update.
