Insidious Reedy Creek

This was pretty common stuff in the 19th Century with big factory owners; 'company towns' were very popular with capitalists and 'free marketers', and they still are today; just go visit the maquilas in Mexico, and Viet Nam, Red China, and Malaysia, and African mining towns. Wall Street loves company towns. They keep those uppity proles in line. Henry Ford had a 'Service Dept.' run by a gangster that would go around searching workers' homes to make sure they didn't have any 'suspicious literature' laying around they didn't like; if they found any they would fire the worker.

Anybody who believes private corporations are all about 'free markets' and 'freedom n stuff' is a certifiable idiot; they are no different than your average Soviet or Red Chinese Commissar.
Private corporations were banned in the Soviet Union and all businesses in China are at least 51% owned by the gov't, mostly the Red Chinese Army.

Even this development in China allowing for private/gov't partnerships is relatively new and was only introduced when they found that Communism alone was failing.

So what? Hiding behind legal fictions is common , and the handwaves don't mean a thing; they 'out-sourced' o these countries knowing exactly what they're doing.
