CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada's governor on Friday unveiled a proposal that would allow technology companies to establish jurisdictions with powers similar to those of county governments, arguing the state needed to be bold to diversify its economy and pushing back against those who have likened the idea to company towns.
“This proposal is an exciting, unprecedented concept that has a potential to position Nevada as a global center of advanced technology and innovation, while helping to create immediate positive economic impact and shape the economy of the future,” Gov. Steve Sisolak said of his Innovation Zones idea. “As we’ve learned in the past, an emergency requires us to throw out the tried-and-true, discard the ‘How We’ve Always Done It’ manual and move on.”
Under the proposal, companies developing cutting-edge technologies that have at least 50,000 acres (200 sq. kilometers) of land and promise to invest $1.25 billion could establish “Innovation Zones." The zones would be governed by a board responsible for overseeing zoning, taxation, law enforcement and other government functions on their land. It would override local county regulations.

That is one crazy photo! Love the cars and that unguarded crossing! And the kids hanging out by the front gate of the last house!
Yup, your right. Like the saying long ago was that when people learn they can live off the free government dime, we are done. We are there now. More living off the free damned government dime than working. There are signs all over the place around here wanting people to work. Hell the McDonalds near here has been advertising with signs along side the road for weeks. They cannot get people to work at $10 an hour. Managers starting at $12 an hour. No one wants to work when the damned government is handing out free money by the pot full.
Tell your kin folk that they must be looking at a much different place than this country boy from Alabama is. I may be just a "southern hick" to a bunch of leftist liberals in this country, but I am certainly knowledgeable enough to recognize that OVER 100 MILLION citizens of this Republic are NOT HAPPY with how this nation is being run and the road this mob is taking this nation. Tell them to show me one damned nation where socialism has worked. They can't. Even Red China knew it had to go capitalist just to make money for their communist government. The damned Soviets went bankrupt trying to keep up with us in the arms race. The Soviets, Red Chinese, Cubans, Venezuela, Red North Korea, Vietnam, and Laos (I may be missing some) all have been responsible for the MURDER of over 100 MILLION people in the 20th and 21st centuries. THAT is what communism and socialism DOES!!! It kills people. And now this mob here in the United States wants to PUT US IN GULAGS!!! THAT is what socialist and communist DO!!! 👀
It’s Fascist.
Ask Disney. They established their own dictatorship/world of tomorrow in Florida.
Nobody actually dies at Disneyworld. They are carried offsite so their death certificate says otherwise.
I owe my soul to the company store!
Some people say a man is made outta mud!
A poor man’s made outta muscle and blood!
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, “Well, a-bless my soul”
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
Can’t no high toned woman make me walk the line
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin’, better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t get you
Then the left one will
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

Techno Feudalism. Baron Zuckerberg,Baron Dorsey,Baron Bezos. The serfs will all be branded (chipped) to keep them under control
Are people this stupid?
Fans of William Gibson novels will recognize this setup instantly - he called them "corporate arcologies" and they're little self-contained worlds unto themselves. Think of how popular you'd be parking a new Ford in a GM plant parking lot. Now add the death penalty. Apple phone on the Google campus? Confiscate his ration card!
What we really need in the United States is a written plan of government that applies to everybody. I saw one once - they called it the Constitution but nobody's sighted it in many years...
I thought this was Babylon Bee.
Here's one example of the ineptitude of Google. They wanted to bring Fiber to a city, but did not want to have anything to do with easement or right-of-way acquisitions. So they bribed the Mayor to permit them to jack up the streets to 'bury' their cable.
This amounted to a weird Google proprietary asphalt-punch tool that could cross streets with cable slightly 'buried' under the road, and then Google covered this with semi-hot patch (the patch not so much Google proprietary, but just shitty semi-hot patch rubber).
Et voila, in the first year of Google Fiber coming to town, the semi-hot patch immediately eroded everywhere it was laid, exposing the fiber line and ruining streets.
Six months later Google was quietly GONE, having fired everyone involved with their Fiber project, while doubling-down on the Mayor's bribe to keep the city-county from pursuing them in court for the cost of repair to the streets.
...”but all of my brothers are sister...”
Totally a true 2021 statement if there ever was one...
Ummmm... That’s actually standard procedure for fiber installs. I’ve seen ATT and Verizon (now Frontier) do their installs that way.
I owe my soul to the company store.
I think that happened 12 years ago. Starting in January of that year.

[What has happened to this country?? Have we totally gone stupid!!???!!]
Well, they did put Obama into power in 2008. And again in 2012.
Notice how the level of stupid has risen since then.
Ruled by ZuckerbergBook, JackTwitterHead, etc. What a brilliant idea! /s
“Idiocracy” in real-time.
