    It’s an investment by the megacorps (with gov monies) into keeping the plebs in check, to not get any ideas around equity, social reform, tax increases, megacorp regulation (consumer prices/margins cap), higher wages, etc.

    It’s super effective.

    The same infrastructure can also be recycled in event of a full-on fascist gov.

      Not only that. The housing is then maintained by taxpayers, who are not the rich strata. So it’s another way to funnel money from the poor/middle class to the corporation owned by the rich.
