"depriving them the pleasure of mingling with the rest of The City" if you have to force people to hang out with you, just a thought, maybe they don't actually consider it a pleasurehttps://twitter.com/patio11/status/1021833712395120640 …

They’re not sabotaging it, the city is being parasitic.
idk man parasites derive sustenance from the host, it seems more like they tend to view it as bad and attack it rather than extract wealth from it
and anyway prosocial parasitism is one of the main roles of the state, their inability to do it is a failure on their part
the whole point is that the government is supposed to be a mechanism to extract wealth and put it to positive-sum purposes that no one is individually incentivized to pursue
punchline: government sucks at this almost as much as every other entity. sometimes more
I don't think the problem is "government" in general but the people within a society and the cultural health thereof
we do, after all, live in a society
none dare call it 'living'
like they were handed maybe the greatest windfall any american city has seen in the past hundred years and instead of leveraging it to improve their surroundings they just try to hamstring it
I blame the tech companies too, if they had will/vision to rule they would have taken over the city government and refashioned it into a gleaming symbol of a better way
worst technocracy continues to be worst (actually I can imagine worse but you know what I mean)
