After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian new town that will offer its thousands of residents reliable public transportation and urban living, all of which would operate using clean energy.
This is end game capitalism. They have their own cities with their own laws. You are essentially forced to live and work at the same place and buy your groceries and other essentials from your employees. You’re basically an indentured servant at that moment.
Exactly why Amazon been taking about building such towns for its workers. I swear if the conservatives get their way and the way things are going I see them trying to find a way legalize slavery again.

Student loans, impossible mortgages, impossible rent, healthcare tied to jobs… I get that it’s not “slavery” but still… It’s a little bit slavery.
Well yes but you’re an indentured servant in a utopia.
Pass me the Soma. I’m already a servant. I’ll take the orgies and indefinite lifespan too thanks.
