Negatory Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Who’s looking forward to living in Amazon-ville, NV? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/nevada/articles/2021-02-04/nevada-bill-would-allow-tech-companies-to-create-governments This needs to be constitutionally outlawed. 1
brabus Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 What in the fuck is this dipshit gov thinking? This is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard. Keep electing shitheads and the people will keep getting shitty ideas and policy.
jazzdude Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Looks like NV is trying to foster innovation in planned communities, namely, smart cities leveraging technology to improve life.Google tried a similar experiment that ultimately was cancelled:https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/05/13/9-things-we-lost-when-google-canceled-its-smart-cities-project-in-toronto/?sh=7aea8c3e35bfIt's an interesting concept, but there's a lot of room for things to go wrong. Probably the worst assumptions are that tech companies understand people and governance. The concept in if itself isn't bad. But allowing the developer to also act as the local government is dangerous. It'd be like a bad HOA suddenly getting direct legal power to act as a government
kaputt Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 https://notthebee.com/article/behold-the-woke-insanity-that-is-a-san-francisco-public-school-board-meeting I have no idea why anyone would want to live in San Francisco.

Not surprisingly all of the board members looked exactly how I envisioned them looking.
brabus Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I wonder if the board has realized yet they’re a bunch of racist POS. No?...I didn’t think so. Step 1 of minimizing racism: start at the lowest levels...if parents/residents of that area aren’t calling them out in droves, then we don’t make progress as a country.

How ironic. Then again, being a crappy person cuts across racial, gender, and social lines, so I guess I'm not too surprised.I agree with you-so much of racial issues are local community issues, and that's where the change/progress needs to be made. 1

No you can’t fix it by changing out immediate echelon electorate officials in local government...See what you need to do is blame the President and blame Police Unions as the convenient scapegoat as to why you can’t change anything at the local level...

I mean. It's on video for god's sake. Police should not be allowed to inflict grievous bodily harm whenever they want to without being held accountable. Cases like these show that reform is absolutely warranted and needed. And what should people do when the system doesn't change and protects itself? Edited February 12, 2021 by Negatory 1 1

That works fine, until the legitimacy of elections are suspect. Whether true or not, the perception of election fraud will grievously damage our system. 1
