Just… no.
The first video shows some “15-minute city” fanboy extolling the virtues of the forthcoming open-air prisons, in part by crowing about how everything you could want would be within a 1.5 kilometer walk from where you live. What if I want a long-distance shooting range? What if I want to go duck hunting? What if I simply want to get ten miles away from cities? What if I want to see the actual Milky Way at night? What if I want *quiet*?
The second video shows the inevitable result of this sort of central planning: China has walled off bits of towns and requires people to show their electronic passports in order to get through the gates. Passports that can be shut down at the discretion of the bureaucracy.
This is what China's 15 Minutes cities looks like

One neighborhood , with hundreds apartment buildings and tens of thousands people , have only few exits, where you need to scan your QR code COVID passport and your face to get in or out.https://t.co/78WGlO6ZqZ pic.twitter.com/GOtJHBE8nY— Songpinganq (@songpinganq) February 12, 2023

And any crook can just walk up on you.
The remote work Elon rails against is the number one way to stop all this.
Elon seems to be on freedom’s side…and yet… when I look at the CEO of Stoke…he seems a lot less weird. Rocketry alone is his interest…I dig that.
NY Post reports remote work costs Manhatten 12.4 billion a year…and folks whose water was poisoned by vinyl chloride will wake up to Google’s water doodle for the Hallmark holiday. Nice. Mayor Pete thinks there are too many whites in construction to care-and Fox shills for industry…the spirit of Jack Anderson is truly dead.
