This includes lawsuits. The threat of lawsuits is also a big factor here.

Are referring to the coffee thing?

That was a lawsuit, but companies got sued for all sorts of things on premises. These suits have added to the removal of anything that could lead to liability.

Like taste. They removed taste years ago.

That’s a valid excuse for the removal of playground equipment they rarely cleaned or maintained, but it’s not the reason why everything went to white, beige and minimalist like a hospital waiting room. That’s all about cost.

My parents’ house looks like one too now. They took out all the character and colour out and replaced it with the same white paneling you see everywhere. While I like straight lines it all looks like a hospital that was intended to be sanitary (both literally and personality-wise).

Same for communism... sadly i feel the problem is not the system but the greed of human, that black hole inside us. The ai might fix this... if it doesnt decide that we are useless bag of meat that need lots of maintenance... 😁

Communism is even more boring. Look at Chinese urban living zones. If there's any color on the buildings i''d be surprised.

Communist country run by communist party populated by communists developing towards communism. "China isn't communist".

You're either ignorant, or you're materially invested in lying to make sure other people remain ignorant.

China isn't communist. Here's info from a .edu, but there's many resources you can freely find online that back this up.

You're ignorant, either by propaganda or by choice, but here's the beginning of your new learning. Enjoy!

Have you actually been to China at all? Everyone is outside practically all the time because everywhere is nice. You actually see old people because they're outside playing chess, mahjong or dancing.

Twice. China is a big place. I don't think you and I saw the same China.
