Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

Dissecting the American Retail Slum


Listen Later

In this episode we talk with Crime Pays Field Correspondent WIll Doran about his traumatic experiences in the Car and Retail Slums of the American Sunbelt, possibly one of the ugliest and most soul-crushing landscapes in the first world. This is a landscape that exists as pure "anti-culture", and as many of you may know, is the only kind of landscape and infrastructure option offered to many people living in the lower-latitude United States. It leads to deteriorating mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health in myriad ways, and we here at Crime Pays are excited to lance the figurative boil and share our findings on the pus that oozes out with our listeners. We also discuss options for dealing with it if you live in these places, especially for young people : stay away from excessive playing of videogames, pot-smoking or booze and immerse yourself in art, plants, science (and occasional psychedelic use in "nature" if you feel comfortable) in beautiful places.
