> To seek otherwise would be to try to persuade businesses (through tax incentives etc.) to relocate to less-desirable areas, so that people will follow and invest with human capital.

I saw this in rural Austria, Im not austrian but it seems to have worked well. Many large industrial factories seemingly in thr middle of no where.

Wrote this over lunch and made a typo.

"...downvoting my opinion."

This sounds ripe for abuse.

- who assignes IDs to each actor

- who removes stolen actor IDs

- even with the anti-abuse provisions for bad actors, what is stopping me from making a botnet to artificially increasing my reputation?

- this system, no matter how decentralised, and "hands off" will inevitably be corrupted under the guise of good will and justice.

- who is stopping people from downvoting my reputation if it is perfectly valid, but does not align with the community group think? Will this then affect my usage of other services?

This is uncomfortable for me, similar to social credit systems, a la Black Mirror.
