  • In a capitalist system an inadequate amount of public transport makes sense. It gets people in the lower classes into the upper class areas to work but it puts them out because they have to get in early or run late and risk their jobs.

    The poor have to use a large amount of their own personal time getting in to work and get home late. They have to pay more to live near transit hubs in squalor just to make sure they have less connections to get to work. They have to get food from what little food choices are available close to home or pay more for food near work during their down time.

    It is perfect for a dystopian capitalist hellscape.



  • I grew up lower middle class or more likely upper lower class, my parents both worked and owned a house but it was tough to make ends meet when they were getting older and my dad couldn’t move as easily because of injuries.

    I still grew up with parents that were home from work everyday, good food, lights, heat and internet were never cut off. I couldn’t do what my parents did for me. I have a great job, my partner is much better educated has the opportunity to get much more important jobs and we earn more than 135k a year but it would be impossible to raise kids, even just one as well as my parents raised me and my sister.

    Why would I want to raise a child in a worse environment than I grew up in? I can see why immigrants come in and have a family. Their next generation will likely have a far better life in Canada than in their home countries. I welcome others to have a better life here than back in their home countries and have kids here.
