    It will be used to give us the boot

    Right.

    so they dont need to pay us wages and benefits.

    Wrong. Simpler, so they feel they are better than us.

      This is just a repost by the same WEF that made this gold nugget in 2018. They even kept the year, so uncreative. There is a dedicated wiki page about this garbage https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You'll_own_nothing_and_be_happy

      Notice it's "you" will own nothing, not "we". 馃槼

        "Once in awhile I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. No where I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me."

        The consensus seems to be that this is a propaganda piece (or at least heavily opinionated by the writer) but I just don't understand how they could write this with a positive frame of mind. The article is a strange mixture of perspectives that don't seem consistent. Bizarre.

            My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.

            Ignoring the fact that living rooms and conference rooms are different rooms for a reason, how is this at all desirable?

            My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city

            Don鈥檛 worry I鈥檒l be fine because I don鈥檛 have to rent out my living room and can see the stars.

            This article feels like someone trying to make New Urbanists look bad.

            Heheh. Sure. If I'm not at home, my sex-toys are up another stranger's bum. It made no sense for us to own anything anymore. My brain implant keeps me indifferent and drugged. Consuming and obedient... I'm happy.

                In modern context, with Musk censoring and banning everyone and everything he doesn't like, having a backdoor into a country's financial system and probably also deportation, that statement is ominous as hell.

                  Seriously. It seems like the subconscious anxieties and fears of the writer's mind come through in statements like this and a few others. Whatever positives (real and imagined) there are about the situation, there is an underlying loss of personal autonomy that causes a sense of unease. The thing that's continuing to intrigue me now is: did the writer intend for that to come through, showing the losses a society of that nature would sustain as a commentary on those that promote it, or are they unaware that their words reveal that distress and anxiety? Idk, weird article.

                    About a quarter of one鈥檚 salary had to be
                    earmarked for voluntary subscriptions, which were so numerous that it was difficult to keep track of them.

                    (From 1984 by George Orwell)

                    But just a quarter seems too optimistic though.

                    I thought you were making that up because it was too relevant, so I grabbed my copy and there it is 馃檭 one of these days you will be vaporized. You see too clearly.
