Skyscrapers — but no sewage system. Meet a city run by private industry

>What happens when a city is managed almost completely by private corporations? Visit Gurgaon, India, a boomtown of millions without a citywide system for water, electricity or even public sewers.

>The city of Gurgaon, roughly a half-hour’s drive south of New Delhi, has survived without a functioning municipal government for roughly four decades. If the city of 2 million residents needs to pave a road, or hire police, firefighters or garbage collectors, a patchwork of private companies makes it happen. Or … not.

looks horrible desu

WTF IM FEELING THE BERN NOW

It's like cyberpunk with poo instead of cyber.

Why would someone build a building in a place with no infrastructure? This whole thing reeks of Portuguese lies.

>no public sewers
I thought that was the standard for Indian towns as they all just poo in the loo?

fpbp

>implying brown people can function without the nanny state

Libertarianism is for whites only. The rest of you need someone to look after you.

you can't blame the free market the lack of sewage systems. that's indian culture

This isn't an argument against the free market because in India there is no demand for sewers.

This.

Indians are chronically inept people who literally cannot think for themselves.

India has literally zero demand for a sewage system.
Working as intended

You mean on designated shitting streets.

>By a regulatory quirk, the land around Gurgaon was managed by a single agency

OP spews Portuguese lies.

>open borders

To be fair, it's run by INDIAN private companies.

Every part of India is shit, regardless of whether the underlying ideas are good. Just because it doesn't work in a backwards hellhole when implemented by curryniggers doesn't mean it won't work in a developed white economy.

Exactly.

What a fucking shithole

>India has literally zero demand for a sewage system.
Get out of here streetshitting shill.

...

This n new york city is run by private corporations

Source me i work for this multibillion dollar companies n am a millionare

exactly? the open borders are only open for select people?

>a boomtown

More like a pooptown, full of multi-story aerial pooping.

You can make the same argument for communism.

If I'm wrong, why don't you go and start selling shitters in India?

>pigion pajeets shitting on the streets
>blaming corporations for an entire country

>India
>Sewer system

Choose only one

That's ancap. Do you retards even know what an economy is, capitalism, or anarchy? Or do you just get angsty against anything.

No, libertarianism will never work as long as its proponents advocate for open borders.

It's a self-defeating ideology. There are only a few races capable of sustaining it and as long as they obtusely allow the proles to immigrate to share in their success it will always remain out of their reach.

We need to accept the fact that some people just aren't cut out to be autonomous.

Exactly.
> us company plans skyscraper development where no infrastructure exists.

This isn't uncommon, the tallest buildings in the UAE get their shit trucked out each day.

I know, and I often do. Russian GDP growth per annum is basically the same as the USSR's GDP growth per annum. The modern Russian economy doesn't perform better than the USSR's did.

The difference is that the Soviet Russian command economy made heavy industry exports to other socialist republics instead of consumer goods, which was why the average Russian was so relatively poor. The modern Russian economy produces far more consumer goods as a proportion of goods produced, but it still produces roughly the same amount of goods that it did under the Soviets.

People get the governments that they deserve, and the ideological philosophy that underlies those governments does very little to change how they behave in practice. India will always be shit.

wont it become unsustainable as the population shifts toward a lower iq from differing breeding rates

Because their currency isn't worth enough to pay for me setting up shop. It's not that the demand isn't there, it's that the general populace doesn't have the means to pay me and I'm not interested in running a poop charity.

>working on top storey of large business building
>gotta go poo
>wat do?

Nothing wrong with this.

If they installed a sewage system it would be too expensive and nobody would live there.

because everyone living on ground level is waste deep in sewerage

the rich build as high as possible to get away from the smell and smog and stay off the streets

thats why chinese/indian skylines are always impressive

>get rekt
>grasp at straws

What?

DESIGNATED SHITTING FLOORS

saudi arabia, qatar and kuweit don't have sewage systems either

>going to india
>ever
I live in a pretty fucked up state but it's in no way compared to india, those poor fuckers are a crime to humanity.

Designated 9/11 shit jumpers

FLAMING DUNG CAN'T MELT STEEL BEAMS

Say what you want about lucky Larry, he sure maintained that sewer system while it lasted

>implying it's straw grasping
One rupee is currently worth 0.015 US Dollars. In India the richest 10% own 80.7 percent of the wealth. And the wealthy already have their own toilets.

They literally couldn't pay me to build a sewage system over there.

The rupee doesn't have decimal values (outside of banking). 1 rupee is effectively 1 cent.

>Get a loan from the bank
>Start waste disposal company

Kek

>everyone too poor to pay for your services in that area
>go broke
>still have to pay back the loan + interest
good one retard

Loaf out the window, duh

>go to san diego
>get a bunch of M U H R E E N S
>head over to india
>take out loan
>start up waste disposal company
>force everyone who wants your services to sign a contract, but oh don't worry bro it's totally free, just ignore this bit about a 30 day trial
>set up everything
>once people don't pay pull off a collateral murder 2.0
>everyone starts paying
>pay back loan

i mean come on, either they're legally accountable to the contract (which i doubt considering it's india), or they get shot and get intimidated into paying.

>they will pay with money they dont have even if you physically threaten them.
good one retard

Where would you dispose the waste? The whole country is already a dump

well, i'm sure some of them have organs you can sell.

or hey, you could also get them to make drugs for you. it's not like there will be anyone enforcing laws in this place.

You get the contract from the building owner ya dingus, it's his/her building, and their waste to dispose of.

libertarians BTFO

Was the analyst that said India would be a super power trolling or just stupid? There's no fucking way. I really don't think they are even capable of reaching China's pseudo level of prosperity with escalators that murder you and bridges made of Styrofoam.

business needs supply and demand.

here there is lots of supply but literally no demand

in the street

>India
>Sewage

That is what the streets are for ya dummy.

What? Fucking how?

Yeah, and the annual median per capita income in India is $616 according to a quick Google search.

They literally couldn't afford to pay someone to build a sewer system there. So it very well may be the case that the demand exists, but there is no way for that demand to make itself known through fiscal means. The closest thing to an affordable sewer system these guys can ask for is holes in the ground.

How much do you think some people would pay for a strictly in loo district with the sewage system run by apartment/housing owners or something?

Poo in the truck.

There is an endless line of trucks at Al Aweer sewage plant. Literally endless. A permanent queue.

Holy Mecca Shit! I've seen pics of this several times. Wasn't aware it was a fucking sewer system substitute. Yuck.

w-why? don't they know how to build a pipeline?

entire city built on a landfill

That's actually false.
Dubai, due to the growth back in 2006, had to transport 30% of sewage via trucks. But now that number is basically zero.

what am i looking at?

yfw they say there won't be roads but in fact there won't be sewage

That's not the fault of privatization, but of Indians' inherent compulsion to shit in weird places. They don't want or need a sewage system. They like the smell or something.

Heaps of wasted food. Feast in Mecca. Disgraceful isn't it?

Meanwhile in India... designated eating street?

Oh my GOD that is ABSOLUTELY disgusting.

> India
> Using a sewer

Wipe with the left hand, eat with the right!

It's pictures like this that really wake you up to just how shitty most the world is.

Fucking savages.

>tfw even the Romans and barbarian Gauls had public toilets and baths and very well planned sewer and water delivery systems.
>In 2016 pooinloos still havent quite figured it out..

looks like whole roasted goats with rice poured over them

Poo punk?

>tfw constantly exposed to so much dirt, shit and bacteria.
>these guys must either be always sick or have godlike immune systems.

Cyber poo

hard times create hard men...

Cyberpoonk?

I bet a good deal of us would die were we exposed to the amount of filth... one that really baffles me are all the pics of Indian men and children neck deep in fucking trash and sewerage... sewer divers? How are they not dead?

I live in this city. Some of it feels like the ghost cities in China, hundreds of thousands of unoccupied homes. At least the jobs are nearby so there's not much of a commute.

How does having no sewer system work? Portapotties everywhere? Designated shitting fields? Does it smell terrible all day every day? What's it like?

It does wonders to your immune system. I eat street food every week that has salty water that I know the vendor has got his nails into it, never got diarrhea or any other water borne disease.

>not real capitalism

you're shitting me
