Seriously though. While I don't like him even slightly, Murdoch is legit a business genius.

Imagine being powerful enough that you can bend an entire country to your will. That's amazing. Sociopathic probably, but amazing nonetheless.

I used to think that Zuckerberg was going to do the same with Facebook. But it seems like he was too focussed on the ad revenue and making the metaverse happen.

And now Musk has come along and stolen the kingmaker role.

Just a reminder that you can do this on municipal and state levels with relative ease

And in microstates too

A random municipality in the US may have more commerce or highly valued property to tax than many countries, and they draw less attention than big municipalities

A mayor or board decision from a 200 person town in Los Angeles County, for example, may never garner any challenge or news by being next to Los Angeles City which takes all local and national press time
