if you dont like you dont buy

if the business loses too many customers/residents it fails

and a new one starts to fill the market gap

Yes and if your a shareholder, your part of the country. If everyone in a country is a shareholder, and not all shares are equal

idelly

no anybody can own shares if they buy them

you dont have to live in the country

probably better if you dont. avoids conflicts of interest

Your dealing with masses of living space, not products though. You can’t just go out and make your own country because other people live there and as such have their own society.

Unless you have an army.

obviously youd have an army

probably lots of drones etc

If your a person and don’t like the system you say “get out make your own”

as for the transition to this new system, thats a different story

im talking about the new system itself

say detroit finally gives up pretending to be a real city

some company comes along and buy it

and starts running it how any actual good management would

corporations are good at taking over where a market need isnt being met

like San Francisco

or LA

or the federal govt maybe evn

ok seems you guys are bored of this. thanks for talking

time for dinner

Sorry @tomhastherage I wasn't bored just had to go do real-life grownup things for a while.

Kids are now abed.

No worries

As for the "build your own" there may one day be another chance at that because I think we are on the verge of colonizing our solar system. PRIME chance for experimental governments there. A billion separate self-contained cylinder-states could try literally every feasible combination of governance.

nah, I seen all the movies.

they squabble until one empire taker over all

then they make a show about the plucky rebels living life on the wrong side of the law

We'll see XD

the rebels will kill, steal, and everything else, but they will be the good guys

the empire will keep the lawlessness at bay, so of course, they are the baddies

thankfully, the rebels defeat the empire, and the entire system lives happily ever after just like somalia

🤔 😂

That's what I thought...

Heck yeah. Glorious Somalia, the libertarian ideal!

...
Ya, pretty much.

@uncephalized good point about the space colonies. Perfect chance to get away from the baggage of history and try some freaky new shit
