This reads like an email or news message you find on random computers in dystopian computer games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077.
We should finally eat the disgusting rich.
These people idolize Henry Ford, so they should double check the history on how he tried and failed spectacularly at the same thing: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/aug/19/lost-cities-10-fordlandia-failure-henry-ford-amazon
And you’ll be paid in such lovely scrip, too. Just don’t try using it somewhere else.
Hence, crypto.
Why are billionaires such free loaders? Build your own shit with your own money!
That’s silly, if they do that they’d have less money. While if they do it with your money, you’re the one with less money.
They tried a couple times but people just don’t really want to move to the middle of the ocean of a jungle compound in South America
So they basically want to bring back the company towns from the gilded age, but more dystopian thanks to the possibilities of modern technology. Characteristics of company towns often were: “controlling and/or exploitative”.
Control: If your employer does something unethical, will you dare go against it, if it means that not only will you lose your job, but you and your family will be also be kicked out of your house, school, town, … Very few would.
Exploitative: where can the company town residents shop and find services? In the company shops of course. This constrained supply also leads to subpar service for high prices. And if company sales are down, the company will spend less on wages, but keep the company shop prices the same since the shoppers have no alternative anyhow.
Add in modern technology, and some of those towns will be like Brave New World, while others will evolve into 1984. Dystopian.
It’s odd how some people get wealthy and then want to start their own utopian fifedom. Rich guys were attempting this throughout the 19th century too.
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?
Freedom Cities, even the name is a lie.
Cities where they’d be free to do whatever they like? I see no lie. You’ve just been sold the idea that freedom was free. Turns out in the US it isn’t.
It’s been opposite day for a while now…
Hey guys, have you heard this new punk band? They got this weird lead singer called Johnny Silverhand…
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.
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.
government officials ending every phrase with, “brought to you by carls jr” is getting more real of a likelihood all the time.
We already have those, ZEDEs in Honduras I think India used to have one called Lavasa & it failed😂
