I was daydreaming about, picture if a corporation buys an entire state.

Say, Wyoming or West Virginia. Gemini guesses $180 billion to $250 billion.

With that investment, they'd get to control who lives in the state.

So, then the corporation gets to control who the Governor is. And the two Senators, and the seat in the Congress.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a single Senator have just a tremendous amount of power to block basically any legislation? With pocket vetoes, or silent filibusters?

Granted, actually buying a Senator is probably cheaper by a few orders of magnitude.
