ok so the future is the 99% being pushed into the ocean by an advancing phalanx of robotic bulldozers because that's private property we're standing on and we're spoiling the view not sure that's an improvement tbh

Truly, large cities suit the needs of the everyman.

every time i fly from the uk to the us the in-flight map thing shows us flying past St John's at the eastern tip of Canada and i think to myself "jfc who the gently caress would want to live there" there's "you need to drive 30 miles to get to the nearest settlement" and there's "you need to go to the goddamn airport to get to the nearest settlement"
