Of course money’s the root of evil, you profit driven
machi.. oh wait...
I was obviously unconscious, but my nice little time machine
just told me that I fell, unconscious, onto a ledge. Well, anyone who isn’t a
robot would do that if they saw how horrible we would become. Why couldn’t we
keep our comfortable and peaceful suburban homes, with backyards and space and
parks, and by that I mean proper local parks, not the ones you share with
another million people living within walking distance of it. I know why,
actually. This city is nothing but a profit machine for the mayor and his
cronies, whoever that is.

Now he’s just spouting rubbish from his mouth. Who wants
boring suburbs when you’ve got exciting cities like this, with diversity,
culture and events, and nice large green parks while we’re talking about
‘peace’. And the mayor in this town is a very friendly man, goes by the name of
Michael Phillips. They even share surnames, what a coincidence.

I knew what to do. I’d be talking to this mayor-CEO. I found
out he did video chat with his ‘subjects’ on Saturdays, and it was 11:30 Friday
night, so I waited, drew up protest posters, drafted new zoning laws, anything
to pass the time. He was available straight away.
Mayor- Hello, sir. What would ...
Hade- I’m a visitor to New Buzz and I, uh...
Mayor- Welcome to our great city, what’s your name?
Hade- Hade, a very ...
Mayor- Did you like our parks? Culture? Shopping?
Hade- Not at all! Your city is a crowded miserable slum!
Mayor- I’m sorry for your bad experiences, would you like to
know about some of our official tourist attractions?
Hade- No! I want you to stop your corrupt tyrannical rule
and give back to the people. I’m sure they’d like a few large houses, and SUVs
while we’re at it, and ohhh...
Mayor- We deeply apologise and I’m sure we could rectify
your issues if you came to my office on Monday.
Hade- No! I want it now!
Mayor- I’m sorry, but I’ve got other callers, hope your
visit will improve, and remember, our offices...
Hade- No, you ***...
The mayor hung up. I was infuriated. I’d be going there
first thing Monday morning and saying it to him face to face, he deserves it
that ****.
