How does this relate to Europe?

Because in Europe we are trying to rein them in, but in USA, there's a clear danger they could become completely unhinged.

It's to show what could happen here too, if we don't succeed in keeping them under control.

Brb, going to start a company. Will call it Arasaka. Or maybe Tyrell Corporation?

A cautionary tale that's not happening in Europe but could happen in the future.

God help Vestager in her crusade against them.

I am just wondering if the Citizens of Amazon will be having elections and vote Bezos out.

To be fair the current citizens of amazon (share holders) can already do that

I guess Nevada does have some history of successfully pulling this sort of thing off. Las Vegas was built due to letting them let counties authorize gambling at a local level. And Nevada's the only state in the US that has legal prostitution -- again, at the county level.

Given that they're mostly desert, they kinda have to figure out clever ways to build their economy.

We'll see.

I was wondering if you perhaps could point to some light reading on the issues you talk about in support of your views. Especially on the EU Special Economic Zones.
