    Right, but they probably understand civics and aren’t dumbass libertarians who think taxes are theft, and that they shouldn’t be providing anything for the people that live and work there.

    Also, the US has a storied history with company towns. I can promise you that this is not what you are thinking it is. This will be towns owned by massive corporations that will pay people in scrip that they can only use at “the company store.”

    So imagine Walmart coming in and buying an entire town, and instead of paying the people a living wage, they give them credits that they can only use at Walmart.
