In the Future…
I grew tired of these projects I was living in. It was nothing more than an urban ghetto for sure, it looked like a place they dumped people to forget about them. The place was trash filled and unclean, but since mentally deficient and ill people walked the halls it was impossible to keep it clean. Not everyone here was at fault though, there was a decent percentage of people who had no problems at all that I could tell, except most were just lazy. I couldn’t figure out why the majority of these people were here.
Most of the people I met would have held low level jobs in various businesses, but they would have been able to hold jobs. These people had no sense of self worth, and the ones that had it had to struggle daily to keep it alive. The government provided for their physical needs, the water was clean to drink, there was enough nutritional food to go around that no one starved. There was no emotional or mental support of any kind, everyone here was left to fend for themselves in a concrete jungle.
They had no technology of any kind behind the chain link fence. The rational behind it was that it would break far more than it would be useful because people who live in places like this lack the mental capacity to use technology. It was insulting to say the least, but they had a budget to maintain and these people were already a drain on society. A society that provided for them off their own labor, so that they might have a life of their own. I don’t call this living, I don’t see why anyone should be grateful for being forced into a box and being told this is you.
