I still maintain that House of Cards was based on the Gerald Ford presidency. He was only ever elected by three counties in Michigan (my home turf). Visit Grand Rapids. You can play Frisbee on the symbolically reconstructed "Indian Burial Mounds" within site of Ford's grave and Presidential Museum.
Re: the sterile but terrifying cities, that is the classic boomer dystopia. Though there is plenty of grime and human misery, there is no grunge or punk, in the sense of people trying to carve something distinct and characteristic out of the stark glass and concrete geometry of the place.
Just the warts of people building temporary shelters out of trash, not caring that they're living in trash or trying to make it any less trashy. The dayglo polyester and cardboard box favelas of the american city have less character than the plywood and corrugated metal found elsewhere in the world, and none of it tries to have any taste or meaning, let alone be somewhere anyone could live in.
They're places for the unquiet dead, like the rest of the city. Only the wealthier zombies have sturdy if bland mausoleums adorned with expensive kitsch while the ghouls are consigned to rot in the packaging the kitsch came in.
I've always hated cities but I hate them more now than ever. At one time I could at least understand the appeal.
No fucking way. Episode 1. Call me an early adopter. Ready to drink this kool aid.
It’s cherry flavor!
Same I like everything down to the aesthetics and picture
"We're still watching Weekend at Biden's. The film never ended." Nice.
Can you introduce me to JD Vance’s couch? Well, not me, asking for a friend.
Potentially.
Make Red Light Scary Again
We’re getting there.

Haven’t seen it, but I HAVE seen the SNL version of Ford. Kind of a cross-parody with Three’s Company, a real period piece.

Exactly. Now it's just a place where people can access, annoy, crowd, starve, overcharge, mug, and harm you.
