Selling off Colorado: Tech bros and conservatives have grand plans for federal lands

But does anybody who lives here actually like the idea of trading U.S. forests for apartments, or high-desert mesas for “freedom cities”?

I’ve seen references to these. Such a bad idea in the arid west.

Tech freedom cities may be the largest threat to our public lands across the next four years and beyond. You will also find them referred to as Network States but what they really are is simply a twisted version of an economic free trade zone for the wealthiest of the wealthy as they pursue commerce without regulation and do so at the expense of the average American and all public land owners.
Two prominent journalists have been following this growing movement for years and I highly recommend that we all pay attention to their findings. Gil Duran has a great video up on YouTube explaining the idea and major players in the freedom cities movement, and has recently built a website where he publishes his findings about the freedom cities and their leading backers. His website is called the Nerd Reich.

A journalist named Dave Troy has also done extensive research on freedom cities/network states. Search up "Decoding The Network State at America 2.0. The players involved in this freedom cities movement represent a dire threat to our public lands and deserve a hefty amount of our attention. Please check them out. Also, if your political affiliation makes either of these two journalist seem hard to stomach please remember that this challenge crosses party lines and is not a red versus blue situation.

It will take about 3 months before the residents hate each other and start bitching. What happens when a tech company has to lay off people, do they kicked out of the "city"? The whole idea is like an HOA on steroids. I do feel a sense of karma envisioning Peter Thiel as HOA president. The temporary nature of the job keeps it one step above Hell.

just gotta crack a history book to see what happened in corporate towns the last time they were around. Pretty sure I learned all about this is 7th or 8th grade.
