The smog impacted the economics in a lot of ways. One of the ways was that public transportation was cut off because they could not see so they was not a lot of supplies. Also people could not get to work so the company's did not have people to work. One other thing was the crime rate went up because they could hide in the fog and then rob some one and they would not be able to see them in the fog.
