True Tales from the Underbelly Halliburton: Your tax dollars at work!
George sez "Strip malls for everybody! If a crack develops in the integrity of another culture, American greed will be ready to fill it."
More and more every day, people are flocking to cities. The implications of this are huge. Go ahead, use your imagination: what do you think might change as this comes to pass? Among other things, short-term natural disasters like earthquakes or storms will have greater impact when they hit cities. Long-term natural disasters like droughts or El Nino may have greater impact too: both development of arable land, and the flight of rural populations to cities will leave us with a less flexible agricultural infrastructure, less able to adapt to change (like, say, long- and short-term climate change).
And that's to say nothing of this. What then?
