Soon they’ll start building freedom camps around these cities and will fill them up with the millions of incarcerated Americans so they can work towards freedom. As Germans have put it before, work makes you free.
Slave Plantations?
Are they anything like red states? If so, they are here to suck at the teet of bigger, better states like California that provide for them.
Fuck these welfare queens.
Freedom Cities, even the name is a lie.
Hey guys, have you heard this new punk band? They got this weird lead singer called Johnny Silverhand…
We already have those, ZEDEs in Honduras I think India used to have one called Lavasa & it failed😂
I just wish they would be honest with their naming schemes. Stop with the “freedom this” and “freedom that” nonsense. They don’t give a good goddam about freedom and we all know it. They are just trying to build “company towns” with touchscreens. We’ve already been down this road. You can slap all the lipstick you want on it, but it’s still a fucking pig.
Its spelled Freedumb now.
government officials ending every phrase with, “brought to you by carls jr” is getting more real of a likelihood all the time.
elon’s already wanting to build musklandia in texas.
I guarantee those execs think they will be building Star Trek / Federation level society. But the comment above is right, it will be Cyberpunk just with shittier technologies driven by “the invisible hand of the market” or some other drivel.
Oh they know exactly what kind of cities they want to build. The wealthy have been wanting their slaves back since 1865.
I believe the federation in Star Trek doesn’t even use money
they only allowed it on ds9 space station , when dealing with other races. in the form of latinum. also barring the marque colonies.
DS9 just threw the whole concept of a utopia out all together. With some pretty great results, so I’m OK with it.
They do, they don’t inside the federation because it’s in practice largely post scarcity. Outside of federation space they use federation credits (likely based on stores of rare hard/impossible to replicate materials) and specifically around ds9 the currency was gold pressed latinum.
Also voyager with replicator rations and Holodeck time.
And no masterbation!
Cyberpunk 2025
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
These zones would allow wealthy investors to write their own laws and set up their own governance structures which would be corporately controlled and wouldn’t involve a traditional bureaucracy.
Why do I read this as incel rape cities?
They should absolutely do this because tech bros cannot do municipal government and they will spend years throwing all of their money into a nuclear powered bitcoin mining boondoggle with open sewage that produces nothing.
Fordlandia, multiplied by the 1%. If that removes billionaires from our society for good, I approve.
