This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Welcome to the shitty, less cool cyberpunk dystopia, aka, techno or neo-feudalism.

EDIT:

There may be some cool gadgets and tech, but only the hyper wealthy and/or criminal gangs will have access to them, the vast, vast majority of people are either destitute, or corpo wage slaves... or both.

'Good' news is that that will only last for about 20 years, after that its full on civilization collapse for the majority of humans, as we've expended so many easy to reach, non renewable resources, that its more costly to extract the harder to reach ones than they're worth... but also, their continuing extraction is required to keep the lights on, keep industrial agriculture working, keep cars and trucks moving.
