Mayans, This just in!

Ancient documents discovered this morning reveal inexorable evidence that Mayan congress faced an economic fiscal cliff December 20th and failed to reach an agreement despite Mayan Calendar Inc. campaign contributions and lobby efforts. Mayan Calendar Inc. resources were exhausted and looming tax hikes for the industry giant forced cancellation of all calendar production on Dec 21rst. The closure of the largest Mayan industry and cascading effect on the economy forced government seizure of all private industry assets. Lack of sufficient funds and mounting Chinese debt resulting in foreclosure effectively forced the Mayan culture into extinction.
