I've been reading a little about this concept and can't see how it would work in reality. Sure, the Feds could "set aside" some land for one of these assholes to set up a new city. But that area would still be under the concurrent jurisdiction of a state and county. And not even the Feds can exempt a city from a state's regulatory environment. In fact most of the things these billionaires are trying to get away from (labor laws, building codes, etc) are state regulations in the first place.

Frankly no billionaire is going to want to live in the middle of South Dakota, no matter how "free" it supposedly is.

It won't be the Billionaires who have to live in places like South Dakota, it will be their workers/slaves who will.

That makes sense. I bet lobbyist play a big roll into that. Is it the lobbyists jobs that are bad or the way and the people who take the jobs are bad?

Preventing cheating in elections is impossible (LoOk aT 2020!!!11), so to ensure a fair democratic process, we'll automatically choose the outcome of elections with AI models trained on American social media posts.

Guess we can consider that a confession.

Zuckerberg, go play with your BBS and let us worry about what needs to be discussed in this myopic, dystopic world.
