I'm sure they think it's because they were so annoying, lmao. Like they think they did something.

..but capitalism is so good, things only get better!!! The market is too regulated, is the problem

That’s wild considering we’ve almost used up all of the fossil fuel reserves on earth. So good luck to this guy after 2060 I guess?

That's the irony.

But Density means communism to them so they're suddenly fine with regulations and taxes that prop up an unsustainable suburban ponzi scheme because that's the lie sold about the American Dream.

When they see how unaffordable housing has become they say, "good, my house is more expensive."

Is that quantum or is there another rewrite I don't know about?

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury is a book of short stories that are great. I really like the rain and he has a story called The Long Rain which I read a lot. He has a few in there that are actually really spooky though.

The Marionette's Inc was just taken and adapted into a loosely based episode in the last season of Black Mirror (Beyond The Sea)! They're very very different, but it's the same concept applied differently and the book itself shows up in the episode.

Yeah. It's the usual nonsense habits of people that they will defend to their dying breath

Oh god that’s dark.

Well I think it was successful for the same reason so many unicorn startups are. They were bankrolled by promising angel investors marketshare so they were able to run artificially brutally low prices to dry out the rest of the market for years. But now investors are asking for those profits back and we're here dealing with horrible Airbnb prices AND it made the housing crisis worse. Double whammy, bb!!

True! Getting rid of these AirBnBs probably doesn't hurt things though. Now they might actually get a long-term resident.

Yeah, being an American is now just being a corporate guinea pig.

I had heard about that! Kinda nuts that America seems to just be universally doing the wrong thing about everything. We can't have nice things here, ever bc the worst people just want things to be worse.
