    Again. debord-tired

    This “Galt’s Gulch” shit has been tried over and over and over again, including in Puerto Rico after the big hurricane a few years back. Each time, it typically fails before the first structures are built and the griftiest grifter runs off with the money. Because Enlightened Self Interest, praise Rand. galaxy-brain

      What basic necessity of modern civilization will they fuck up or straight up forget this time? In New Hampshire it was garbage collection, in Chile it was basic sewage sanitation. I hope it’s something new and funny

        I’m praying for roads. Like they’re gonna make a hyperloop that works even worse than elsewhere or they’re gonna make some sort of weird privatized solution to asphalt that just fucks up the paving immediately

      Reminds me of the story with the roaming bears in a city that did some weird libertarian policy/program. There is a book about it called a “Libertarian walks into a Bear” Not sure if the books is any good but the real story is funny (or a bit unsettling) if you know about it.

        Oh, I know that one.

        The “Galt’s Gulches” I mentioned were all attempts to start brand-new colonial fever dreams in a vacant area, and pretty much none of them got past the financing phase before the most Enlightened Self-Interested One ran off with the money.
