Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak announced a plan to launch so-called
Innovation Zones in Nevada to jumpstart the state’s economy by
attracting technology firms, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported
Wednesday.

The zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form
governments carrying the same authority as counties, including the
ability to impose taxes, form school districts and courts and provide
government services.

The measure to further economic development with the “alternative form
of local government” has not yet been introduced in the Legislature.
[...]

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development would oversee
applications for the zones, which would be limited to companies working
in specific business areas including blockchain, autonomous technology,
the Internet of Things, robotics, artificial intelligence, wireless,
biometrics and renewable resource technology.

Zone requirements would include applicants owning at least 78 square
miles (202 square kilometers) of undeveloped, uninhabited land within a
single county but separate from any city, town or tax increment area.
Companies would have at least $250 million and plans to invest an
additional $1 billion in their zones over 10 years.

The zones would initially operate with the oversight of their location
counties, but would eventually take over county duties and become
independent governmental bodies.

Particolarmente interessante sotto molteplici aspetti.

Uno Stato "democratico" che cede territorio a signorotti privati che,
tramite le proprie aziende, diventano "independent governmental bodies".

Il Potere contante veicolato dal denaro che diventa Politico.
Quale sarà la condizione degli abitanti? Sudditi? Impiegati? Utenti?
Leggeranno i ToS? E quando verranno cambiati unilaterarmente?


Leggendo mi sono tornate in mente le Città Industriali di Olivetti.

Ed il confronto è davvero doloroso.
