Document Summary
Exclusive property, not for all of the public. Accountant zoo people can look into the glass but they can"t go in. Wrote a poem about story of a couple at a parisian cafe. But then the couple sees a poor, haggard man on the street outside, with 2 small children, all in rags, staring in at the cafe. But the girlfriend sees a different perspective, wanting the staff to get them off the property. Calling for more attention to cultural production. Supporting the spaces and actors that produce culture. Cultural consumption: the branding of cities, only supporting the spaces and actors that can sell culture for economic returns. The dark side of flexible, independent work culture for the creative class. Labour, racial & gender biases, lack of social support/training (now the responsibility of the individual. In order to get ahead you may need more training (time for internships and other classes that you need to pay for)
