City skylines are rough 3D bar graphs of corporate greed.

Ever just driven through a city and see those huge (and many times ugly) high rises for some of the most corrupt companies, banks, landlords, etc. and think “all of this probably started as a nice idea on a napkin somewhere for a business. That business has morphed into packing as many humans as possible into a tiny footprint. A footprint subdivided into even smaller and smaller squares of existence to squeeze every penny of productivity from every employee. All this so they can leave this tiny cube in their tall cube to hopefully one day pass the taller cube by another business. Then when they leave their tiny cube, they can hop in a mobile tiny cube take a horizontal tube to another moderately sized cube where they enter their living cube. Rinse, wash, repeat.”
