That’s expensive. My governor is an alfalfa farmer in a desert state where alfalfa is ~1% of GDP and >50% of water use, or something like that. He’s already a grifter, so getting my own grift approved is going to be expensive.

Just gotta cut him in on a share of the profits. He’ll be your best friend in that case!

Peter Thiel’s “Zero to One” teaches that the best business is an iron-fisted monopoly.
Far from cutting you in, the governor is more likely to break your kneecaps and burn down your nascent storefront.

Peter Thiel may have been successful in business but he’s no economist. For a government official like the governor, there’s way more wealth to be gained by encouraging competition than suppressing it.
