Why only the county level? Let Google run all levels of government. Who needs this democracy drivel anyway?

Will they have company stores as well with scrip money?

"...governed by a board ..."

I am familiar with such boards. What happened here in VIrginia was those boards got away with fiscal murder, arbitrarily fining and taxing residents and dividing the spoils amongst themselves. Then after an outcry about 15 years ago VIrginia passed laws to reign in those boards. Now their power is greatly reduced although still too much in a few cases.

Corrupt dot Indians to rule over the US. That will upset the CCP that already does.

While at first glance this doesn’t sound like a good thing and it may not be, the governor has a solid point.

Waiting for the economy to recover organically isn’t working. For areas, like Nevada, that depend on tourism this slow paced recovery is a failure. Travel is predicted to be down 40% or more again this year. That figure is not going to get better anytime soon. So the tourism/travel industry needs to pivot.

After every big downturn in the economy we bounce back with some sort of new technology. The governor is willing to risk essentially a portion of his state on this innovation zone.

The proposed zone is for Blockchain. Essentially the new banking/old banking system that handles transactions. Ceding over governance isn’t wise though. It sets Blockchain up for their own little thiefdom. And yes, I said thiefdom exempt from county/state reach? That’s a bad idea on the face of things.

Ok then everybody who voted for this freakofagovernor has to work for those firms, too

It’s $$$ instead of being “We the People”.... hmm.. great idea..

[lee martell]

Wouldn’t this enable a lot more censorship and uneven treatment than we are presently seeing?

[Paleo Pete]

OK who put the acid in this guy’s coffee

Fess up now...

Considering the behavior of the likes of Zuckerberg I find the idea of giving these people their own mini-state absolutely horrible and frightening. Although the dark side of me says let there be a trial or two to show how this would descend into some Techno Dystopia.

Does Netflix count? The Obamas are on the board there.
Townships...cities, states, countries.

Say 20 years ago I would have supported this notion. After observing the absolute abuse of power by out Tech Overlords I changed my mind.

This is Neo-Feudalism. I have long argued that this is the direction, not Communism, is where the “Elites” want to take the World.

Oh goody! I get to be ruled by Elon Musk!

If Sisolak proposed this, stay as far away from this as you can. #RecallSisolak

I think we know where this is headed:

“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.”

Quick, somebody call the whitecoats.....

Nevada governor proposes giving tech firms power to govern

Article IV Section 4 says otherwise.
