5. "I used to work at Alcoa, a multibillion dollar aluminum company" In response to Reply # 0
they used to own the Reynolds Wrap brand but sold it
anyway, i had to visit our plant once in ALCOA, TENNESSEE and let me tell you it was a mindfuck
walking around that town and seeing "Alcoa Police" on police cars and "Alooa Fire Dept" etc etc was so weird and dystopian
this company town was over 100 years old. most people in the town (at that time) worked at the plant...
ugh.

I could definitely see some judgy "Hmm, didn't see you at church this weekend." The company itself is not wholly like that but in a condensed setting like what you're describing, I could see it happening.

Company towns include bars so this makes the premise terrible.
I would 100% love in Apple town. Wireless charging and fiber internet everywhere. Only problems are housing costs and forced obsolescence of technology.
