Próspera Village “is not a location” but rather “a platform that delivers governance as a service in partnership with host governments that create a legal framework that allows that public-private partnership to emerge.”

😂 What a load of self delusional bullshit. It's like listening to a nepo-sovcit.

The only reason to even pursue something like this is to bypass municipal laws and workers rights laws. You just know everyone employed there to keep the place running will be paid through several layers of shell companies so the assholes who live there won't face any liability under any circumstances.

Libertarian city's don't last more than 3 years, it fails everytime people try it. I hope the house they build crumbles with them in it, under its unregulated foundation.

Are the rich people going to mow their own lawns, make their own food, and repair their own houses?

No, they'll have slaves for that. If you think that's off the table, you haven't been paying attention.

The poors from out of town that get bussed in. Like those truck stops on the highway with a McDonald's.

Sounds like the gated communities they already have.
