New Hampshire Begins Open-Data Efforts
Plugh writes "The Free State Project was created to move 20,000 small-government activists to New Hampshire (here's the Slashdot story from 2002).

In fact, it is possible and plausible that we'll have many billion dollar corporation with less than a dozen employees within the next 10 years.
It's called "capital intensive". Lots of machines and automated processes. A few short term jobs setting it up. Some slave wage offshore labor.
