Well yeah. They've clearly wanted to bring company towns back for a while. Everyone from Disney to Amazon does their best to recreate them already and there's been no change in the profit incentive since the last time they were fully legal.
I do feel like the tech guys have forgotten why we agreed to give workers rights though...
Oh well.

We should finally eat the disgusting rich.

That won't fly because tech's innovativeness is already declining.
And it'll get worse as the skilled workers flee the US.
"techno-feudalism"
They've been trying to do this for years
It's weird how the hardcore wingnuts were constantly jabbering about "Big Tech" and making noises about "Hunter's ~~hard-drive~~ laptop" just a few short years ago. They could never define this "Big Tech" other than to make hooting noises about how they were "censoring" the crazy right wing. They didn't really know what they were going on about, but boy, they were mad about it. Because laptop.
Now they seem to be all-in with whatever the fuck "Big Tech" wants for them, because, what? They think it will own the libs? Just what the fuck do they think billionaires are going to do for the average redcap but put them out of work and yank any and all government services that will help them or their families?
Ooh, they can even have their own currency! But what to call it... something brief and punchy, to underscore all the efficiency... I know, we can call it "scrip!"
And who is stupid enough to move there? Ffs
