What's even wrong with cities where enough stuff to live is in walking distance??

Like there's nothing saying having a car or having to ride a bus should be a requirement for life.

There's nothing wrong and I think it's a great way to plan a city. The conspiracy is that the government will take away your cars and force you to live in dense residential and wall you in like the old ghettos in Germany.

I've never understood that nonsense, and I used to be a Republican.

Do these idiots think their dicks will fall off if they don't have the biggest pickup truck possible?

To be clear, the conspiracy is entirely baseless and makes about as much sense as "the COVID vaccine is actually a mind control drug invented by Bill Gates."

Yes I know. Am I giving the impression I'm trying to push it? I know about conspiracies, I don't believe them.

And you can see *why* Bill Gates is always the one who shows up as a conspiracy theorist, because he was the guy who didn't step in to support TF***igGuy.

Unlike a lot, or too many, of those younger Broligarchs.

The thing... I don't get whether these "broligarchs" get... is the hierarchy of machinary on which their prosperity rests. The dollar, the euro, the pound, the banks, the stock market, and system of rights of ownership.

That has to be paid for, and is based on strict regulations.

Attacking that is the equivalent of prompting un-unionionized work, but for rich people. The consequences catch up slower, because of power, but they do catch up ultimately.

If you want to know how fast it happens: look at what happened to Russian oligarchs and wealthy people who suddenly ended up unable to acces any capital or systems they relied on after Ukraine.

I always ask "who turned your precious sandlot into a parking lot?"

Real conspiracy is the bullshit capitalists marketed to us telling us this is "freedom".

At this point I'd love to not have to drive 30 min to my job. THESE are the chuds who live on pre fab neighborhoods that are 45 min drive away from ANYTHING. Then whine their 15 yr old spends all their time on their Xbox.

Also try "needing a truckzilla to cross a road because there's no pedestrian crossing and it's high speed traffic" I saw that one.

It would have been literally a five minute walk scenario otherwise.
