>It's their money, however they extracted it Except, it's really not. Taking aside the fact that being a billionaire is fundamentally immoral and that it necessarily caused the misery of hundreds if not thousands, it's not _just_ their money. It's your money when it's going to come to plugging in the electrical grid, because you know they're going to ask for assistance. After all, it's built, and the state wouldn't want the bad publicity of being the ones that refuse to kickstart a brand new future city, right ? It's going to be your money for sewage systems, for pipes, for road maintenance. It's your society they're damaging by abusing the justice system to bully and sue farmers out of the land. It's going to be your environment when they have to pump water and dry out your rivers, your lakes, leaving fewer for everyone else. It's going to be your environment when chronically irresponsible VCs dump chemicals because they know the EPA will need ten years to come at them. It's going to be your national security when the Travis Air Force base receives complaints and pressures to close down because they're being too noisy next to the city. It's going to be your environment when they have to water a whole city in the middle of an almost desert. >We don't know how to maintain things, we don't really know how to refactor and fix the laws we have, either because of entrenched interests, inherent racism, or a lack of willpower. So the solution, instead of trying out small scale experiments that will help you build a proper city of the future is to just build a whole city in one go and hope it works out ? The people that are blocking you from maintaining things _are_ the ones building this. Andreeseen is in those investors, the same piece of shit that blocked construction of thousands of houses because it would "devalue his investment". He's not doing this to improve _your_ life. > let the rest of the world take our best experiments and make their little socialist utopias The rest of the world is not socialist, and you know it. >somehow pragmatic place. There is nothing pragmatic about the US. There's a very small subset of extremely powerful and wealthy ramming their decisions through everything, destroying lives in the process and counting on the state to be too slow to react, or slow enough that when they do, they're already entrenched anyways.
