Bloomberg– This is Trump pushing the technocracy
The end game is audacious: High-tech company towns free from state law and most federal rules—including the Internal Revenue Code, major environmental laws like the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act; worker protections like the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act; and the Affordable Care Act.
Company Towns
A lot is unknown about how Freedom Cities would work. Tom W. Bell, a Chapman University law professor focusing on special jurisdictions, is working with the Frontier Foundation to create a legal basis.
They would (allegedly) be “small safely-contained experiments in governance” to “help us discover better ways to live together,” Bell said. “Freedom is better than gold. When you turn people loose to create and give them incentives to satisfy market demand—wow—that’s what we want to tap.”
In his vision, Freedom Cities would be governed by the secretaries of Commerce, Treasury, and Interior, and they would be completely exempt from nearly all federal environmental, healthcare, and labor laws, and the tax code.
New Age Company Towns
The city of Grand Junction, Colo., along the Colorado River, is flanked by a national monument and BLM land to the horizon in nearly every direction, making it a prime area for developers looking to build Freedom Cities.
AEI and the Frontier Foundation pegged some public land beneath the towering sand-tinted Book Cliffs on the northern flank of Grand Junction as a perfect site for a Freedom City. Public lands there are treeless and undeveloped, often used for off-highway-vehicle trails and little else. But it’s close to a freeway and an existing airport.
Places like the Grand Junction area, the desert surrounding Las Vegas, the Treasure Valley surrounding Boise, Idaho, and the sagebrush steppe in Deschutes County, Ore., home to the cities of Bend and Redmond, are ideal to build new Freedom Cities that would be key to reindustrializing the US, supporters say.
Each one would focus on a specific kind of technological development, said entrepreneur Nick Allen, a founder of the Frontier Foundation.
Similar to company towns for new tech, one new city would focus on semiconductors, and others would be built on the defense, drones, advanced materials, biotech, and nuclear energy industries, he said.
