Let them go. You just have to prevent them from selling to in your jurisdiction in that case. There is no reason they should be allowed to extract value from your population without abiding by the social contract.
- ThrowawayR2 2y agoThe émigré entrepreneurs have no reason to care because they're still financially better off than the would have been staying. Aside from that, that only works if the polity for that jurisdiction is equal or ahead in in technology. Cutting yourself off from de facto standard or superior tech is going to result in a massive drag on the economy for quite some time before local equivalents mature enough to compensate. Certainly the EU wouldn't survive such a shock; their finances are precarious enough already.
- soco 2y agoThe OP point still stands: if we only complain "nah this doesn't work because..." and do nothing to address that "because", shit will definitely hit the fan later when the new royalty will get again beheaded in the public place, plus heaps of unrest and bad stuff we could have maybe avoided if we just addressed that "because" instead of sitting on our rears moaning.
- ThrowawayR2 2y agoSure, that's true but the only proposals that seem to get posted on HN are clearly unworkable even under casual scrutiny. Doing something that's worse than doing nothing just for the sake of doing something is silly. When are serious proposals that withstand analysis going to be advocated?
- soco 2y agoDoes it matter? You should remember it's HN not some parliamentary commission, so both unworkable and genial proposals matter exactly zero.
