Don’t forget:

  • Out of control sea level rise due to climate change, which is why they all live up in the sky

  • Mutants in the lower levels

Nah, I’m just outjerking the jerk.

I mean, is Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law considered canon? If so, then yep, 100% true.

Harvey Birdman: Mr. Boo Boo, would you consider yourself a revolutionary?

Boo Boo: Well, no. But I believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, or levelled by any force necessary… But that’s just one little bear’s opinion.

Harvey Birdman: A cute, fuzzy little bear. (smiles at jury) The defense rests

IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.

Just searched, and it looks like you’re correct.

Also, apparently there’s an episode where Spacely and Cogswell are arguing about real estate and they discuss a rule of Orbit City which requires all buildings to be at least 2200 feet off the ground (I assume from their “bottom”), which would make their homes roughly the top floors of the Burj Khalifa

I still like the theory that the “mutants” below are just the Flintstones. The Jetson society hoarded all the technology and moved into the sky to get away from the peasants…

Are you saying that, post pandemic, people don’t commute to have meetings online?

No, I’m referring specifically to the show The Jetsons: George did not work from home despite what the meme says.

I am one of the people who commute to have meetings online btw, dumb as hell.

It happened regularly throughout the series too. I’d guess whoever made the meme hasn’t watched the show or hasn’t watched it in 30 years and were hazy on the details.
