    The conspiracy theories, as per usual, are not actually based on any logic.

    The one that my government keeps repeating (and no one believes them by the way) is that it would enable the local authority to essentially dictate where you live and where you work. That they would restrict you from leaving your zone.

    Of course this makes absolutely no sense because nothing like that has ever been suggested and even if it were the case, unless every area of the country was upgraded into one of these zones you’d still have to have people legitimately travel in and out of the zones anyway. If only to ensure the businesses that were not fortunate enough to be located in the biggest cities, didn’t run out of employees.

      Well technically, as demonstrated by some proposed anti-abortion laws, the right to travel is not enumerated and thus, according to some republicans, does not exist. Just like the right to privacy. So if you are already drinking the koolaid, travel restrictions are possible.

      Maybe we can convince them with some entertainment? Have every zone select 2 tributes every year to compete in a death match Olympics of sorts.
