Unless you rent, but hey: can't let reality intrude on your delusions.
Nope, you're just closer to the urbanite dream. Which is constantly moving closer and closer to living in an arcology.
Unless you're a farmer, you can't do control that either.
Nope, farmers barely control their own food access anymore. Especially when only two percent of the US are farmers and most of them don't even own the land they farm. And their access to seeds is absolutely controlled. So their food access can, in fact be heavily curtailed.
Gardeners and homesteaders have control over
parts of their food supply.
It would be worse if we have to shove everyone we can into an arcology or 15 minute-city.
Hold on, let me fix that for you:
"Existence is ripe for abuses and if you think that corpos or governments aren't already controlling you, your head is in the sand."
So obviously we should just live in pods, eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy. Because nothing we do could ever keep us from being abused. We might as not try.
Sure thing!
Thank you Vyor, I have seen the WEF light, and it's all because of you convincing me that living in an arcology is the way forward for humanity!
