Do you realize what big stars real estate agents have become?
The act of ownership is all it takes to become famous.
Landlords lord more than lands.
Economy in shambles.
Avocado toasts and economic disparity. Record low wages. Record high profits. The pyramid is made of solid gold and built upon piles of bones.
Men who dwell in distant towers many hundreds of miles away from a home they own. Controlled by a subcontractor of a subcontractor and rented to no one. No pets. Could damage the cheap wood floor.
Speculations of grim cyberpunk future dystopias often depict Tokyo-style dense urban centers.
The American Cyberpunk reality is 800 lane highways. Superdense parking structures that service an apartment complex consisting only of 6,000$ a month studios.
The American Cyberpunk is global parking lot. Asphalt and concrete stretching as far as the eye can see in every direction.
There is no neon.
There is no sleek EDM music.
There are no cybernetic enhancements.
There are Tesla Cybertrucks.
There are self-driving cars incapable of telling the difference between an empty street and a human child.
There are fast food communities.
There are infinite rooms of marketable beige.
