I understand that promoting the idea in right wing sphere could bring you a load of money. The same way that fire festival brought a lot of money to the guy at the top.

But when built each experiment have gone belly up and nothing could be salvaged off.

So how the right wing grifter are benefiting from building an actual freedom cities ? What I’m missing here ?

    “Freedom Cities” are renamed Company Towns. The profit will come from even greater control of employee lives by dictating not just wages and hours but rent and good prices. They will also dictate the laws/rules for the city.

    Most likely these freedom cities will pay employees in company crypto after they crash the US economy and the value of the dollar further controlling employee lives.

    On top of this entry and exit of these cities will most likely be restricted as well. And leaving will in no way guarantee you could get a job in another freedom city as they could just blacklist you for all of them.

    The possible horrors and abuses that could be used in freedom cities are numerous to extract maximum profit.

      Ok I understand that but so far, all in savage capitalist cities have gone belly up

      So in the now (as opposed to to the glum future) who is benefiting from doing again and again a failed project ?

      Look at seafaring, they build their prototype, it sank and their valuation tank like ice cream in the sun but people are still investing in shit like that.

      Maybe I’m failing to see a detail but from where I am none of the investor got anything, they only lose and we know that capitalist hate to lose money.
