For the love of God, please craft hobbies and an appreciation for life beyond abstract “utility” maximization. These freaks are so hyperalienated from their own existence that they can’t conceive of themselves as anything other than an input. Sorry nerds, you won’t find self-actualization by designing a marginally more addictive ad-software or another tulip bubble. Please stop eating the bugs and look at some art for a fucking change.
SROs for the poor are more expensive even and the conditions are usually much worse. esp in this part of the city I bet the target market for pods is pretty much only people who already have a nice office they can shower and exercise and hang out in and only need a space to lie down, so really they’re probably doing fine.
sorry I’m a little skittish around this discourse bc a lot of the time it’s cast as “gross why would you live this way instead of like a human being” which can really catch housing-precarious ppl in the blast radius
For sure. I think the issue is really that people think it’s okay to pay $700/month for a tiny box to sleep in at all. As if it were a good thing for society.
We should really just fucking house everyone and get rid of bloodsucking landlords.
