  • The romans had engineers and fire fighting crews. Nearly every society has had some kind of police/army/guard to enforce laws. Farmers actually opened the door to most other jobs/careers because people didn’t have to rely on themselves to grow or collect their own food which left more time to become an engineer, learn math, become a salesman or any other job that could be filled.







  • Wastes vasts amounts of urban land on parking instead of housing or more businesses

    Is often so deep in parking lots and strip malls its impossible to walk to

    Cheap prices and cheap chinese manufacturing to help eliminate local competition

    Massive corporation has more bulk buying power than local competition

    Designed to be a one stop shop, fix your car, buy a tv and grab some food

    Self checkouts pays robots instead of people in the community the store is in

    The people who do work there are paid shit wages for life, often not even keeping up with inflation meaning they actually get paid less every year

    Probably paying less taxes than they should be for the amount of space the business takes up and the amount of traffic generated

    Helps promote car centric design which is a terribly ineffecient and expensive way to move people within an urban area.
