    everything old is new again re: Company Town.

    reminds me of the Trillbillies bit where Tom was talking about the parallels between “getting paid in scrip” and Amazon employees getting some compensation in Amazon credit… ending by regarding the residents of now hollowed and dismantled Company Towns in Appalachia as “tomorrow’s people”.

    still cracks me up how much “innovation” is really just centuries old strategies and tactics of class war by capitalists.

    What I really want to do is live in a town owned by a druggie obsessed with going hardcore, breeding and holding H1B1 visas over employees. Mf probably ask you to fill in forms when its that time of the month so they can tell you when its prime breeding hours

    Oh boy, is the libertarian sanctity of private property once again melting on contact with the ability of a rich person to make money?

    You’re supposed to make sure they can’t just get out and leave before you start actively fucking them over. Musk is so incompetent he can’t even do company towns right.

    The company town can’t have more than like 250 residences. How incredibly poorly organised was this that they’re already evicting people for zoning reasons??

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
