city wisdom
maybe why people in cities
tend to believe more in government’s responsibility
is how obvious it is
that collective organization is vital for a city to work,
some way to coordinate, direct, control,
the counter argument to government as the control mechanism
asserts that the “invisible hand” of the market is better,
I know enough business theory to know
that each business only overtly seeks to maximize profit,
that conditions of safety, the future, worker rights
must be as super-ego to the id of profit,
a cancer is unregulated growth,
our relationship to the earth should be more benign.
