On the contrary, state level capital controls would be absurd. People and companies should be free to move to states that match their priorities.

- ceejayoz 1y ago> People and companies should be free to move to states that match their priorities. That's fine! I object to states bribing those companies with taxpayer dollars in a silly zero-sum game where companies win and people get hosed.

I think history will look positively on things like NYC opting out of the sleazy auction that was Amazon HQ2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_HQ2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_HQ2
