Shatter Me- Chapter Five- They're Super Duper Mean

This chapter begins with some random and unexplained exposition.

Juliette writes a few paragraphs about her power/curse. We are vaguely told that Juliette accidentally did something to her mother and her parents, who may very well be the worst people ever, turn on her, tell her that she ruined their lives.
Ouch.

Then the focus returns to the room, and outside snow is falling. After staring out the window for a depressing and indeterminate amount of time, Adam's voice breaks our hairbrained heroine (good one, Audrey) out of her reverie, asking what time it is. She tells him she doesn't know, and then comes more exposition.

"We don't really have seasons anymore.
The animals are dying, birds don't fly, crops are hard to come by, flowers almost don't exist. The weather is unreliable. Sometimes our winter hits 92 degrees. Sometimes it snows for no reason at all. We can't grow enough food anymore, we can't sustain enough vegetation for the animals anymore, and we can't feed the people what they need. Our population was dying off at an alarming rate before The Reestablishment took over and they promised us they had a solution."
I wish we were done.
"The Reestablishment promised they would fix things. But even though human health has found a modicum of relief under the new regime, more people have died at the end of a loaded gun than from an empty stomach. It's progressively getting worse."

This goes unexplained for the entire series and it's incredibly infuriating. There is no reason the world is ending or why The Reestablishment was able to take over. I would rather not have quoted that block of words, but I don't have enough information to paraphrase.

Again, Adam is there to bring her back, this time to ask about food, another thing that goes unexplained, because she explains that there is no system to the food.

He asks a question or two she doesn't answer, instead asking why he's here. This goes unanswered, just like most things in this chapter, and he only responds by saying he's not insane.

They exchange some little random quips of conversation, and she says his name out loud for once. 
I'm not really in the mood to recount all the babble about The Reestablishment, so I'll just summarize it. 

They get mildly adorable while kind-of arguing, and this chapter ends with breakfast arriving.

Next chapters of this and The Night Circus will be up tomorrow.
