| Corporations as Government |

 [via Bongino Report](Site won't let me copy and paste but basically) A Nevada bill would allow tech companies to form their own local governments. Companies with large amounts of land would be given the same authority as counties, that is, schools, courts, taxes and ordinances. What could go wrong? Sisolak has obviously never read any SciFi. Just imagine living in Zuckerville. |

| #8 Yup - Democrats really miss their slaves. Having people totally dependant on the government for food, housing, and healthcare doesn't have quite the same feeling. |

| #4 I have a theory. The 'defund the cops' shtick was a precursor to just this. In reality they want to replace the system. The corporations want to have coercive power. Something out of the Open Society/Alvin Toffler revolution rulebook. |

| #3 As corporations come to see their business as more rent seeking and woke groveling, I suspect the problem will be self-limiting. |

| #2 Back to Company Towns. My dad was raised on a coal mining company town in W.Virginia. When Grandpa lost his leg in a mining accident, their family was evicted from the town. I'm sure Big Tech will be better because "Do No Evil" |
