Anybody else reminded of “when gravity fails” by George Alec Effinger?

Reminds me of my friends who have moved or say they want to move to Dubai.
“It’s amazing, they have zero per cent income tax and everything is so modern and luxurious!”
Yeah, it’s because they have a massive slave underclass.
Slaves are pretty good to have around when you’re in the master class. What these people are really telling me is that they just want to live a chill life with slaves.

The wealthy can have their stuff I don’t give a damn but when a 22 yo kid can’t get asthma medication and dies (True recent story very common) from the pharmacy because the medication went from $50 to 500 that’s the kind of stuff that im willing to go to war for. Only in America.

What’s the job site at the end of the video? Is that the basement of a future tower?

Cool aesthetic, shame it’s indicative of irl conditions.
I tell ya, the places where you’re gonna get some real cyberpunk shit, they’re all in the “third world”. The megacity slums and tenements of the near-enough future aren’t gonna be in Tokyo or Seoul, they’re gonna be in Kinshasa, Lagos, Chennai, Karachi, etc.
Did you know that they think Kinshasa is gonna be the worlds most populous city by 2100, at something like 80 million people? Thats gonna be hell on earth.
