- mort96 4y agoI love that pun. It's pronounced exactly the same as "you're in good company".
- to11mtm 4y agoTBH The ending of that musical ruined it for me; The people 'take back control' only to squander the water and die of thirst. Sooo... Corporations are bad, but people are bad anyway so it doesn't matter? IDK. Might be a product of it's age (bitter endings were big back then, right?)
- philjohn 4y agoI read the ending differently - it's got two distinct parts. The first is a warning on populism - it falls apart quickly in the face of reality. Promising easy solutions to hard problems. The other is the Malthusian trap (explicitly nodded to with the "Hail Malthus") line.
