'Startup Nation' Groups Ask Trump for Deregulated 'Freedom Cities'

Ah, the familiar ploy of privatizing profits and socializing costs.

Consider: Who will be (unavoidably) paying for the military and buffer-area which which keeps the place safe from Canadian Bear-riders? Who will eventually get stuck paying if it turns into an abandoned toxic waste-dump? The rest of us.

So.. have them put their money where their mouth is: You want freedom and noninterference? Fine: There will be no special government-gift of "limited liability" for any corporation doing business in FreedomLand.

That means if someone's no-safety-rules Nuclear Powered Airplanes startup has a very bad oopsie, the bankrupt NPA's remaining debts (for injuries, deaths, property-damage, and pollution-cleanup) must be paid by all the human owners/investors who made it possible. "Personal accountability", right? Bigger rewards, bigger risks. What self-professed lover of economic independence could possibly object?

There's an interesting (read: hypocritical) contrast here when you consider how the same administration is busy illegally attacking "sanctuary cities" and states, in revenge for them simply minding their own business--instead of doing freebie immigration work that is literally not their responsibility.

Please call one of them Night City
