    found this a good read: https://onlysky.media/alee/why-libertarian-cities-fail/

    i love their point about atlas shrugged. all the rich "Dooers" have retreated to a single valley, while the world falls into chaos without the billionaire ruling class.

    In this valley, everything is prestine. You have untouched forrests, fields, perfect lakes.

    And somehow, you have one guy logging the forest making enough lumber for a city of a hundred, despite the forest being untouched. you have fresh oranges and coffee... despite the world falling apart. you have a single doctor, and no hospital, ect ect.

    It also required Galt inventing what was essentially a perpetual motion machine.

    But my favorite thing about Atlas Shrugged is the idea that governments should stop interfering with railroads since it is impeding their progress.

    You want governments to stop giving you land through eminent domain? Cool. Good luck.
