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

No you don’t understand it’s totally different they didn’t have computers back then it’s different trust me bro

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

Thats SA btw. Like omg leave your kids alone.

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??
