As a correction officer, fifteen-minute cities sound like mini-prisons to me. "Everything you'll need are there," but how will they know what I "Need!"

I need freedom, I need self-determination, I have the right to travel and see people across town, across the country.

The WEF are NAZI survivors that escaped to Belgium and are trying to create a 4th Reich.

This will not work for two reasons:

1) You don't have enough doctors, grocery stores, mom-and-pop stores, etc, to make this work.

2) Nobody wants to eat bugs and corn forever.

By the way, people are not inmates or prisoners in jail. They may be NPCs, but they deserve the right to figure out what they want.

I live in a small town of 3,000 people, and we don't even have a grocery store or sit-down restaurants. All we have is a Sonic takeout.

It would be easier to entice people to move out of the cities and re-work the smaller towns and villages to create living spaces.

To make cities like Dallas and Forth Worth a 15-minute city, you'd have to destroy neighborhoods and build more markets.

The industrialization of the world created this problem. Before cities became the places to be, people lived in rural areas, and the impact on Nature was minimal. People grew the food they needed and traded among themselves for other needs. But now, those are done by multi-national corps.

. Own nothing equals slavery. Free people own their own homes, cars, businesses, and time.

2. Live in Pods. And those pods can be used for business meetings when you aren't home.

3. Digital currency They'll be able to tell you what to buy and can take your money for just things you speak.

4. E.S.G. scores. (Cancel culture)

5. Eat Bugs and GMO corn = things the human body cannot process.

If you don't own your necessities and can't eat what you want, you are no better than a slave.

Too many people think they'll be able to stay home, play computer games, and write poetry. But they'll either be lined up, shot, or put to work in the bug factories.
