Looks like the start to a dystopian movie...
I wonder how long it will take to pay off all the raw materials gathered, processed and shipped to the site.
Meanwhile, partway through the project with shoddy workmanship, subpar materials, corruption
and kickbacks.....
They can suck my ass if they think they'll be stacking me like a brick. I'll grab my shit and hit the deep boonies and be quite happy being by myself, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteSeems like we saw this in a couple old movies......."12 Monkeys" and "The Matrix".
ReplyDeleteInsufficient opportunities for graft and bribery so not a chance lol
ReplyDeleteYa, I think I'm gonna pass. Wonder how much they have spent on that smoke and mirrors idea.
ReplyDeleteThe people that have this fantasy have not given the real details and that will kill this.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they don't care about the human being. There will be lots of mental health issues. Ever been locked up in a place for awhile with no where to go, and no interaction. Think biodome. That didn't work out well. It doesn't look like you can get out of there and go visit somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteLet's just cram them all in a small space. No thanks.
Our world soon.
ReplyDelete"Zero Carbon". Yup, lost me there...
DeleteGiant glass prison camp.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this?

DeleteSaudi so what could possibly go wrong?
Delete@hjets reminds me of the last Judge Dredd with Karl Urban. It's for storage and control. Like they are trying to make a moon base on earth. Hello soylent green.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised they used a woman's voice for this ..........
ReplyDeleteSection 8 housing comes to the muzzies, what could go wrong. 100% renewable is impossible except in Nature. I suppose the have invented perpetual motion too.

ReplyDeleteAnd, of course what could POSSIBLY go wrong.............
ReplyDeleteTrantor in the making. Now, when will some goat herder decide Allah has a grudge against this and that the most merciful requires that it be blown up?
ReplyDeleteCatch the comment about renewable Water supply. You do know that that means, right. And how is it powered? Solar, Nuke? It didn't say did it. Zero Carbon, so all the materials used don't have carbon? And where is the Crematorium? And where is all the food coming from? Is it a Vegan paradise?
ReplyDeleteTrantor in the making. Wonder when some goat herder will decide that Allah has some kind of grudge against this and the Most Merciful wants him to shoot it up and blow himself up in a marketplace or elementary school?
ReplyDeleteEquitable views, look at the ocean, nice, everyone else look at the barren hills and mountains. Mirrored sides, reflected sunshine burning the local landscape and animals. Idealist pipe dream, Much like the inhabitants of the underground in THX1138. I'm sure there are millions of brain dead, afraid of reality, confused over educated morons that will donate their hard earned money to this. Kind of like the idiots that cried because they could never live in the imaginary world of Avatar.
ReplyDeleteMankind is too evil to live without vice and crime, so this will not be
ReplyDeleteI think it was "Oath of Fealty" that had an enormous city-in-a-building. There were still a lot of people who had no interest in going to live there in spite of all of the 'look at all the neat features we have'. At least that author knew that some people would hate the idea.
ReplyDeleteIt was: "Think of it as evolution in action," was a key quote from the book.

ReplyDeleteWant Judge Dredd? Because this is how you get Judge Dredd.
ReplyDeleteThe wall will block animals from the water, so the Greens will scream and cry . And maybe lots of architects designed it, but no Engineers were consulted.
ReplyDeleteThis is pipe dream.
Entirely renewable water and power. So you're going drinking your own recycled piss and no mention of how they're dealing with your shit.

Not a pilot. But I think this would make for easier bombing runs.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you think it would take more than a single bombing run to deal with this.
Deleteit seems that this has already been tried . . . . . the tower of babel . . . . . yeah, lets get all the pissants who are crowded in & pack them even more. that'll work out well!
ReplyDeleteCan't blame 'em for Dreaming Big.
ReplyDeleteThinking Big is another matter entirely.
Two words….Whittier, Alaska
ReplyDeleteI saw this idea once in a little film called Logan's Run... and it would fit in nicely with the idea of reducing the global population, too. Shut off the power and water and let the situation, well, resolve itself.
ReplyDeleteLook upon their works, Ye Mighty, and get angry, for Thy rage will prevail where verbal recourse did not.

The movie, https://snowpiercer-film.com/ comes to mind. No thanks. Just a bigger cluster eff of HOA rules and regs.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who's read the Dune series will recognise that this structure resembles the megabits called Barony on Giedi Prime. Walled city, all the elites live at the top and the plebes live down in the structure. Science Fiction in real life.
ReplyDeletenah...ya'll enjoy. i'll stay outside thank you very much
ReplyDeleteThat's their Build Back Better plan - build it so they have complete control over us. Oh and the population is limited so they have to depopulate 2/3 of us and control population growth using babies for their blood. These are evil people and they think they can glamorize AI so we will voluntarily seek it. How dumb do they think we are?
