because from here on out your standard of living is meant to decrease with a technological sheen of sophistication to pad the fall.

we are meant to live in state housing, giant, monolithic, soulless concrete husks - the apex of ugliness and efficiency.

this way the housing, that you don't own, will be - "furnished" - with all the internet of things appliances, including smart toilets that analyze your poop for traces of a human beings metabolism. These are the "conveniences" you will be supplied with - that you cannot disable or destroy, because they are private property, and you have no right to privacy.
