An place that supports consumerism that therefore supports more exploitation so some rich people can continue to exploit humanity to enforce their artificial of power through money over humanity

Humans should live to be human and be free to express themselves freely, not be money making livestock to the few that enforce that power through money structure over humanity

And a great place to go for walks if you are in need of rehab. Flat, level, ground and climate controlled.

Here in Florida all the OG indoor malls have been abandoned, and developers keep building these new "outdoor" malls.

Outdoor. Malls. In Florida. Where it's hot.

And people keep going there because there's a new Sugar Factory or Fogo de Chão...

My inner urbanist despises these outdoor malls (at least the ones I've seen in Canada).

It's essentially an artificial car-free downtown surrounded by a massive parking lot, and rarely served by public transportation. Why don't we just build walkable downtowns instead? Is it because these are just suburbanites LARPing walkable living?
