Agreed. We are manipulated by the system. Corporations force us to move to bigger cities where rent is more expensive, living space is smaller and quality of life is lower.

Humans are farmed like poultry - City humans are caged chickens, suburban humans are the "free range" variety.

Corporations want to see more humans per square feet because that's more profitable for them. The energy savings we contribute to by living in big cities ultimately end up in the hands of corporate executives and shareholders as cash.

It strikes me as curious as to how you've taken his complaints, which seem largely based on government-imposed restrictions, and subverted the point to be anti-capitalist.

That said, how do corporations force you to live in cities? How do corporations then profit from you living in a city? How does either city or suburban living map to whether you are a member of the capital class or not.

…and rural humans are space aliens.
