Do they even have World Fairs anymore? Seems like that used to be a big deal, but I've never been to one.

My whole high school senior class (all eleven!) took a trip to the Seattle World's Fair. I could have seen the Tokyo World's Fair on R&R if I'd extended my tour. I declined.

I see there was a whole 'nuther page.

Bucky Fuller talked about how people would go home to sleep in slums while the typewriters stayed in air-conditioned office buildings. Those huge skyscrapers dedicated to insurance companies and such could be gutted and repurposed.

Personally, I'm more in favor of flotillas of greenhouses in bays and estuaries. And geodesic fish farms floating in the open ocean.

Roboticized hydroponics.

That would be construed by the modern left as murder (yes, murder), since the underclass does the work of farming and they would be cut off to an income. The middle class would be similarly gutted, though I don’t see a simiarly charged murder outcry.

UBI would be the response.
