cant afford, dont care
they're gonna bring back feudal society but with the masses bound to corporate entities, arent they?
the fascism of the 21st century is being owned by a corporate lord and living on your work site isnt it?
bring back? that was the fascism of the 19th and 20th century that we just clawed our way out of and broke the chains of slavery on the way. they're trying to put us back in our place now.
I mean this would be kinda cool. Double chunk chocolate cookie for breakfast every day. Never run out of toilet paper.
whats sad is this is a great improvement to american urban society
the government should be building housing on top of costcos, and by that, i mean literally ON TOP of them. tear them down and build housing there
I don't get what's so uniquely bad about this? It sounds more like they're just renting out apartments, rather than tying you living there to your employment with Costco? Yes, rent is bad, but this doesn't really make them any worse than any other landlord?
Same, the post doesn't mention Costo workers directly.
Not saying it wouldn't happen, but isn't this only new or unique because it's a big box store and not a small shop?

Kinda reminds me of the Costco I saw in korea.
Is it possible that the apartments above Costco would actually be too expensive for most Costco employees to afford rent?
