Rich People Keep Trying To Build Cities

If Akoncity was a scam, does that make it... A Con City?

As a former homeless person, I can confirm that all homeless people are, in fact, there because they don't like the shape of existing houses.

My great grandparents fought in the street to defeat oil barons running feudal style cities with their own bespoke currency and we are just like "okay Facebook, why not!?"

Cities where people work for the company that own the town means the money they spend pretty much goes back to the company that gives them a salary, an absolute ethical nightmare

Alright Danny you can stop hiding that you are in fact, a secret billionaire. Go build us a city big boy.

hearing "he was going to dig a hole that could fit 200 people" sounds like someone preparing a mass grave

I like to think all these headlines are fully literal and all these rich people are building these cities by hand "Kanye West tried to build a city in Wyoming" really hits different when you picture him laying every brick by hand

6:45 They weren't temporary, they just tried to claim they were temporary because they didn't have the proper building permits for a permanent structure. The concrete foundations clearly indicated they were intended to be permanent, which is what the article was suggesting.

Danny, you have to build Greg Town as a competitor to Kurtis Town. I’ve heard they’re growing quicker by the day, we don’t want them becoming the fastest growing army on the internet.

Elon's town is almost exactly the same as what mining companies did in the early 1900s. They would build towns with houses, supermarkets etc. for their employees to live in. These mining companies would then pay their employees with fake currency that could ONLY be used in that town and couldn't be converted to any other currency, so employees couldn't quit or leave the town.

Seems like people who want to build towns might have too much money. Maybe they should have higher taxes, actually put money into existing towns. Just a thought.

As some have already commented, the "live where you work" cities were popular during the period of the gold and silver mining boom. It did not go well. It was a giant scam. Which were built by the companies that owned the gold and silver mines, of course. That's what a couple of these remind me of. They had their own currency and everything.

Danny really looking like minecraft steve

5:50 "envisaged" is a real world, Daniel

For the city planning aspect mentioned at 10:15, yes builders plan all of that out ahead of time, where the residential area is, commercial, industrial etc. They didn't do that when we were first settling/stealing the land, but any new development has a shitload of planning before it's built,

corporations trying to build their own cities for their employees shows a distinct lack of knowledge of their own country's history. people tried that already. it didnt work out. there were deaths.

Facebook trying to use "zucky" as a positive description is perhaps the funniest thing I've heard all day 😅

Real missed opportunity not saying they’d go from homeless to domeless

The hard, crunchy texture of most kibbles is actually very good for dog's teeth. Especially if they don't let you brush them or anything, kibble can help scrape away the tartar on their teeth. Also, I didn't hear any grains in the ingredient list, and can't find any listed on their website. Make sure your dogs have grain in their diet! Grain free foods have been linked to dilated cardiomyopathy, which is basically when the heart gets so big that it has trouble contracting, and it eventually leads to heart failure/death. I hope this helps! <3
