Awertman Industries

Awertman Industries, founded in 2097 near the end of the Fifth Depression, helped rebuild not only the Chinese economy, but also the world economy due to China's importance in business. It produced many items, but focused on developing new things in medicine and electronics. Eventually, it came so close to a monopoly that many countries outlawed it, fearing a repeat of the USA's uprising stemming from its many monopolies, eventually leading to the USA becoming part of the Global Nation Union. This caused a massive drop in Awertman sales, and 7 months later it was bought out by the struggling Amazon, until Amazon eventually went out of business 17 months later. Awertman was bought by Amazon on February 29th, 2136, until closing officially on March 19th that same year.

The Fifth Depression
David Awertman, a successful Canadian businessman, eventually moved to China to try to use his fortune to start a company there. Unfortunately, after converting all of his money Renminbi, the economy completely collapsed on June 5th 2095. In China's attempt to pay off the debt to the GNU that they borrowed to rebuild from the Fourth depression, only 12 years earlier, they printed all the money needed to repay the debt, causing massive hyperinflation. This crash prevented Awertman from even getting a plane back to Canada. He was homeless for over a year, until he was scouted out by the government for help in rebuilding the government due to his success at fixing failing companies, including Uber, Jousid and Sony. He was confidentially given the money to start up a company, an act that violated many laws and was used against Awertman during the bans on Awertman Industries starting in 2134 and ending in 2135. He used this money in 2096 to start a simple canned food company ironically called "Awertman Farms," despite the food being entirely made with GMO in a lab due to China's lack of money. The way this company saved the economy, though, is that it changed its prices daily instead of hourly like normal food esablishments did. As Awertman Farms spread and the time frame changed from every day to, at the end of the depression, every 4 days, China's economy stabilized and the Renminbi was completely discontinued in favor of the GNU's decentralized form of currency, the Bitcoin, who they bought in 2079. Then, in October of 2097, as thanks for the salvaging of their government, China gave Awertman a small fortune, which he used to found Awertman Industries the next month, with Awertman Farms as its first division.

Awertman Industries' Rise and Downfall
After Awertman Industries, the lineup of divisions was constantly added to and changed. However, about 10 years after its founding, David Awertman decided to abandon all the divisions in favor of focusing all of their arsenal of resources towards medicine. This 5 year run caused some of the greatest medicine discoveries in history, including the now commonplace Juxtetrin, which cures Cardio-Immune Wear Syndrome, saving hundreds of millions from the bloodborne disease. Then, Awertman decided to expand into electronics, creating many amazing devices such as the transeiver repeater and the mobile electricity detonator, used to stop electric bombs and other dangerous electric-based weapons. This continued perfectly peacefully until 2130 after the tri-annual GNU business evaluation, where Awertman industries was announced to take up over 51% of the global medicine market and 39% of electronics. This caused Awertman's stock to rise dramatically, taking over more of the market, but also the world view of Awertman Industries became to take a turn for the worse. In February of 2134, The GNU section in the former USA banned all selling of Awertman Industries electronics. This grew and grew until September 2135, where China, Awertman's most important place of business, banned electronics. This caused David Awertman to abandon the electronics and opt for medicine, until he auctioned Awertman Industries off to Amazon. Amazon's medicine division was widely criticized for its lack of quality compared to David Awertman's version of the medicines, including negligence of testing certain medicines, leading to over 300 people dying. Two months later, Amazon filed for bankruptcy from, ironically, the loan the took out to buy Awertman Industries. They went out of business officially the following week.

David Awertman's Insanity
After Amazon's death, David Awertman used the small fortune he got from selling the company to move back to Canada. However, people constantly slandered him for the following months he lived there. David made public announcements about being harrassed and threatened, until finally he posted the words "I'm done with you all. I saved your economy and you pay me back with this? Goodbye." He initially was thought to be dead after he set his house on fire, but they found no remains and eventually called the case a dissapearance. 2 years later, however, hikers in the Himalayas found him in a cabin near the summit of a mountain. They livestreamed a video of them breaking into the house, which to their horror caused David to pull a knife out and threatening them with it. They ran out screaming, and they reported David to the Indian government. They found the cabin abandoned when they got there. David was later arrested in New Delhi for battery.
