@Griffith @Ariovistus @IAMAL_PHARIUS @nugger what is the wealth worth chasing in the city though? once your basic needs are met, the value of a dollar goes logarithmic. the entire economy is built around keeping the gentile working at maximum productivity at all times to keep the GDP climbing ever upwards, while the best behaved urbanite strivers are currently being priced out of facets of life once taken for granted like free standing houses on property, the resources to raise kids in a danger-free environment, and higher education opportunities for social mobility among the promising children. These days even the vaunted programmer class are frequently moonlighting as goyslop delivery men.

i'm fairly certain if you walk into a bank or financial planner and bring up wanting to prioritize free time and quality of life over big number salary of rapidly depreciating dollarinos they push a button under the counter next to the silent alarm for robbery and it alerts higher up financial organs to audit you or shoot you with radium to increase medical expenses or call down locusts and the plagues of egypt on you. anything to keep you working

the remaining value is that which the dollar was always a proxy for, until a hostile tribe began using it as a tool to extract true value and wealth from the gentiles. security and enough material prosperity to provide for your family. cities have neither, just the illusory rewards handed out by the financial class for working that treadmill for them
