I eagerly await your "no true Scotsman" response.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoNo, he didn't. Honduras cancelled the project.
- safeignorance 10y agoFailing to coalesce and maintain political support from the host government is just about the most predictable failure mode imaginable.... no true scotsman, indeed.
- CPLX 10y agoAh yes, and there it is. "The problem with [obviously unworkable governing system] is of course that it's never been given a proper chance!"
- yummyfajitas 10y agoSo basically, any project which politics cancels can then be assumed to be completely unworkable? Basic income can now be rejected since the Swiss considered it then rejected it? Ok. Incidentally charter city like policies have been tried. Hong Kong. Singapore. Gurgaon. But I guess all the successes should be ignored because Honduras cancelled their project.
