- atlasunshrugged 6y agoExcellent callout to that thread, I'm surprised it didn't get more traction. One of the more interesting pieces (or rather, maybe a letdown that this isn't so novel) was a reminder that Florida (and likely many other jurisdictions) has done something similar with Disney many years ago - even giving permissions to create a nuclear plant! https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/02/21/disney-world-could-have-gone-nuclear/?sh=d465ef5393fd https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/02/21/disney-wo...

- hertzrat 6y agoInteresting how negative the sentiment is in the older threads, but how positive in today’s. The older threads talk about serfdom and today’s talks about better tax systems and efficiency
- SubiculumCode 6y agoYou can count me today as negative. Serfdom indeed.
- afavour 6y agoUnfortunately HN just shows them both as being “1 day ago” with no more detailed timestamp that I can see. I’m curious if one was posted during the time that Europe (and east coast North America, perhaps) were active, while the other was posted while the west coast (and so, Silicon Valley) was. Particularly when it comes to attitudes towards government there are notable differences.
