Lightbulb Billionaire considering Texas as a destination to host $400B Utopian City

😲 When Science Fiction meets Reality....

https://www.newsbreakapp.com/n/0btDTU5P

Quote:
Former Walmart executive and e-commerce billionaire Marc Lore has announced plans to build a utopian and sustainable metropolis in the United States. The proposed city would be built completely from scratch and its design is believed to be incredibly eco-friendly.

Lore recently unveiled plans for his proposed utopia, tentatively named Telosa, which stems from the Ancient Greek word Telos, meaning “highest purpose.”

“The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable, sustainable future. That’s our North Star,” Lore said in a promotional video. “We are going to be the most open, the most fair, and the most inclusive city in the world.”

They can keep it! Equitable and inclusive just means the lazy ass people can take from those who work the hardest. It’s only inclusive when it fits the lefts ideology.

I'd rather walk down a nice wooded trail while chewing bubble gum and trying to armpit squawk the jeopardy tune.

..EDIT: I just tried to armpit squawk like I used to with my brother in my 20's…….
Doesn't work with 50yr old tiddies in the way…….

I taught my grand kids how do that.

I also taught them about barking spiders.

It's odd how people make up their own completely wrong definitions for some words.

The best part of this work of fiction is that someone wrote "Texas," "Arizona," and "utopia" in the same sentences. That sort of creativity shouldn't go unrecognized, bravo.

Lol. I was confused when I read that. Then it dawned on me. Typical, look at the pics and skim the title and then go on some hate filled rant about the left.

Had they actually clicked the link, they might have caught the "Texas" bit.

"most open, the most fair, and the most inclusive" none of those fit Texas' political climate. How will they get around Texas state laws?

In due course, those living in Telosa will get a stake in the site, so as the city does better, the residents do better." That was the same premise of the Founding fathers, what is missing with Telosa is personal property rights, which is the foundation of capitalism.

My response is not hate filled, but rather logic based.
I'm seeing more commercial advertising that claims the business is employee owned.

I suppose this could be good or bad, depending on the employees. I deal with a certain hobby company that is employee owned. The majority of their products are great and their marketing skills are over the top, yet they can't seem to manage their websites worth a darn.

Who hires who and who does what is still be worked out, I guess.

What Texas laws do not allow equal access to healthcare, housing, transportation, and education?
For one, the new Texas Heartbeat law is incredibly anti-woman.

According to an unnamed source (okay, I'll admit it is me simply trying to make a stupid joke), Marc Lore has secretly been gathering data for the design of Tesola from prototype social systems that are already in place all over America. They are called Walmarts.

No, that’s not it at all. Digest my comment and read the company quote. I am tired of companies pandering to the left using the words like “equitable, inclusive”. That’s what I was referring to, not the actual article

Soooo....since it isn't sentencing a woman to death, but it is protecting another from being put to death...must be a good law - amirite?

I'm quite pleased with it actually. But then again, I've always been pro life.

Women have a choice in the matter. Sex isn't some sort of basic human right. You choose to have sex, you (and I mean both parties, not just the woman) should have to bear the consequences. Maybe people would all of a sudden become responsible individuals then and actually think before acting.

Nah, who am I kidding, that won't happen.

Texas already has a utopian city. It's called Beaumont Texas.
Low cost of living, strong property rights, laid back sanitation service, flexible wardrobe standards, and an atmosphere you can see and feel.

Unfortunately women don't have a choice in the matter when getting raped and not being allowed to abort a rape-baby is beyond ridiculous. There are also medical situations for women that might warrant an abortion. It's not just about people having unprotected sex and killing an embryo for fun.

Thankfully Governor Abbott is going to magically eliminate all rapists from Texas so rape-babies won't happen anymore.
