It's amazing how Canada, the UK and Australia are all following exactly the same playbook, and its working out more or less the same for each of them.
Reheated neoliberalism wasn't what people thought they voted for.

I was a datacentre manager, back in the day.
Once these things are built, they employ hardly anyone, and now they're so dense that they absolutely suck down power and water.
You get more economic benefit from a Tim Hortons.

As someone who grew up on TNG, same.
If there's a subtle lesson to TNG, it's that people can still suck, but the end of scarcity really, really helps to alleviate the suckage.

I'm curious to know what you think of 1985's Return to Oz.

Two words about how seriously cops take bike theft: Igor Kenk.
TPS ignored rampant--to the tune of _thousands_ of bike thefts over years. It was relatively common knowledge that Kenk dealt in stolen property and his job was so crammed that it was a fire hazard.
