"The can and will continue to do exactly that the want."

Just wait and see what happens if that Blockchain blokie gets to build his own "company town" in Nevada, making the laws, deciding who can live there, running the police force etc. and not paying local taxes I bet the likes of Apple, MS, Google, Facebook are watching very, very closely. Not to mention all the other big multinationals in other fields. Johnson & Johns, Pfiezer etc with their own company towns with their own laws and working conditions. Maybe Union Carbide would like to build their own little city state and produce all their dangerous chemicals with no health and safety rules?
