    This is why I like Chapo in a nutshell. Matt goes on an unhinged odyssey about efforts to preserve corporate monoculture and then ties it back into a Simpsons reference which illustrates his point very well.

      there is an episode of the Simpsons where exactly that happens, the rich part of the city separates from the poor.

      These kind of people think they're such "men apart" from Americans who's daddies or uncles simply didn't have the connections to get them internships in "those places" so they could get their highly paid, khaki-and-a-polo-shirt, middle management office jobs and grow beer bellied enough to become Rush Limbaugh's audience. They've gone so far to keep anyone not like them from having anything, they passed through to the other end of the wormhole where both extremes of North American monoculture meet again!

    I actually work in Eagle's Landing...at a civil engineering company. I'm pretty sure my boss had a hand in this and my stomach is turning.

      I feel ya. Just to add some insult to injury: The name "Eagle's Landing" isn't just pure cringe on its face, it also perfectly encapsulates the pseudo-heritage LARPing these philistines love to engage in: Historically the oeconym 'Landing' exclusively relates to waterways and nobody would've ever used it in reference to birds "landing" anywhere. So even as a made-up name it is just embarassingly ahistorical nonsense and akin to an "I'm an idiot" sticker on the foreheads of the people who came up with it. I'm actually kinda surprised Matt didn't pick up on this...

      Your Owner A landing specifically refers to an area where goods or people are unloaded from a ship. Usually it’s some kind of port or dockyard.

    In China , they're called " Green zones", - where the minority affluent can live isolated from the crime and suffering that prevails.It seems to be the plan for the States, as well, - as you also see the growing indifference towards anyone not previously part of the program.The callous disregard for human life cuts across all cultures and races,- no discrimination there.While humble bragging, and spouting all the PC BS , all the time, - of course.
    Absolutely agree that there's nothing within that culture worth saving.If it dosen't drive you to despair, you are part of the problem.
