Company Towns ーwherein a single firm provides most or all necessary services from housing and employment to commerce and amenities to a given community ーhave dotted America since before the Civil War As we near the end of the first quarter of the st century they re making a comeback with a new generation of ultra wealthy elites gobbling up land and looking to build towns in their own image nbsp And why should only terrestrial workers be exploited Elon Musk has long talked of his plans to colonize Mars through his company SpaceX and those plans don t happen without a sizeable ーand in this case notably captive ーworkforce on hand The same Elon Musk who spent billion to run a ubiquitous social media site into the ground whose brain computer interface company can t stop killing monkeys and whose automotive company can t stop killing pedestrians wants to construct entire settlements wholly reliant on his company s largesse and logistics train Are we really going to trust the mercurial CEO with people s literal air supplies In this week s Hitting the Books Rice University biologist and podcaster Kelly Weinersmith and her husband Zach of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal fame examine what it will actually take to put people on the red planet and what unforeseen costs we might have to pay to accomplish such a goal in their new book A City on Mars Can we settle space should we settle space and have we really thought this through Penguin Random HouseExcerpted from A City on Mars Can we settle space should we settle space and have we really thought this through by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith Published by Penguin Copyright by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith All rights reserved On the Care and Feeding of Space EmployeesOne of the first things to know about company towns is that companies don t appear to want to be in charge of housing In our experience people often think housing was an actively pursued control tactic but if you look at the available data and the oral histories companies often seem downright reluctant to supply housing at all In Dr Price Fishback s economic analysis of coal towns in early twentieth century Appalachia Soft Coal Hard Choices he found that companies able to have a third party supply housing typically did This is hard to square with the idea that housing was built specifically with sinister intentions There are also good theoretical reasons to explain why companies build housing and rent it out to workers Suppose Elon Musk is building the space city Muskow Having wisely consulted the nearest available Weinersmith he decides he shouldn t own employee housing due to something or other about the risks of power imbalance He looks to hire builders but immediately runs into a problem very few companies are available for construction on Mars Let s consider the simple case where only one company is willing to do it Well guess what That company now has monopoly power They can raise home prices or lower home quality making Muskow less attractive to potential workers Musk can now only improve the situation by paying workers more costing him money while lining the pockets of the housing provider If he wants to avoid this Musk s ideal option is to attract more building companies so they can compete with each other If that s not possible as was often the case in remote company towns then the only alternative is to build the housing himself This works but the tradeoff is that he s now managing housing in addition to focusing on his core business He s also acquired a lot of control over his employees None of this setup requires Musk to be a power hungry bastard ーall it requires is that he needs to attract workers to a place where there s zero competition for housing construction Historically where things get more worrisome is in rental agreements which often tied housing to employment Even these can partially be explained as rational choices a non evil bastard might non evilly make Workers in mines were often temporary Mines were temporary too existing only until the resources were no longer profitable This made homeownership a less compelling prospect for a worker Why Two reasons First if a town may suddenly fold in fifteen years because a copper mine stops being profitable buying a house is a bad investment Second if you own a home it s hard for you to leave This is a problem because threatening to leave is a classic way to enhance your bargaining position as a worker Once you have people whose housing is tied to their job the potential for abuse is enormous ーespecially during strikes Rental agreements were often tied to employment and so striking or even having an injury could mean the loss of your home When your boss is also your landlord their ability to threaten you and your family is tremendous and indeed narrative accounts refer to eviction of families with children by force If employees either owned their homes or had more secure rental agreements power would have run the other way They could have struck for better wages or conditions and occupied those homes to make it harder for their employer to bring in replacements It may be tempting to see this as a purely capitalist problem but very similar results occurred in Soviet monotown housing Employees tended to get reasonably nice company town housing if they lost their jobs they had to go to the local Soviet which provided far worse accommodations As one author put it Thus housing became the method of controlling workers par excellence This suggests that there s a deep structural dynamic here ーwhen your employer owns your housing they re apt to use it against you at some point In space you can t kick people out of their houses unless you re prepared to kill them or pay for a pricey trip home On Mars orbital mechanics may preclude the trip even if you re able to afford it In arguing with space settlement geeks housing concerns are often set up as binaries ー Look they re not going to kill the employees so they ll have to treat them well In fact there s a spectrum of bastardry available A company town boss on Mars could provide lower quality food reduce floor space restrict the flow of beet wine deny you access to the pregnodrome They could also tune your atmosphere We found one account by a British submariner in which he claimed to adjust the balance of oxygen to carbon dioxide depending on whether he wanted people more lethargic or more active Whether it ll be worth the risk of pissing off employees who cost at least millions to deliver to the settlement is harder to say This overall logic ーcompanies must supply amenities therefore companies acquire power ーrepeats across contexts in company towns To attract skilled employees who may have families the company must supply housing yes but they also must supply other regular town stuff ーshopping entertainment festivals sanitation roads bridges municipal planning schools temples churches When one company controls shopping they set the prices and they know what you buy When they control entertainment and worship they have power over employee speech and behavior When they control schools they have power over what is taught When they control the hospitals they control who gets health care and how much Even if the company does a decent job on all these fronts there may still be resistance basically because people don t love having so much of their lives controlled by one entity Fishback argued that company towns for all their issues were not as bad as their reputation In theorizing why he suggested one problem you might call the omni antagonist effect Think about what groups you re most likely to be angry at during any given moment of adult life Landlord Home repair company Local stores Utility companies Your homeowners association Local governance Health care service Chances are you re mad at someone on this list even as you read this book Now imagine all are merged into a single entity that is also your boss In space as usual things are worse the infrastructure and utility people aren t just keeping the toilet and electricity running they re deciding how much CO is in your air and controlling transportation in and out of town Even if the company is not evil it s going to be hard to keep good relations even at the best of times And it will not always be the best of times When Company Towns Go BadUnionization attempts on September reporting on the then ongoing miners strike in West Virginia the Associated Press released the following bulletin Sub district President Blizzard of the United Mine Workers says five airplanes sent up from Logan county dropped bombs manufactured of gaspipe and high explosives over the miners land but that no one was injured One of the bombs he reports fell between two women who were standing in a yard but it failed to explode Failed to explode is better than the alternative but well it s the thought that counts Most strikes were not accompanied by attempted war crimes but that particular strike which was part of early twentieth century America s aptly named Coal Wars happened during a situation associated with increased danger ーunionization attempts Looked at in strictly economic terms this isn t so surprising From the company s perspective beyond unionization lies a huge unknown Formerly direct decisions will have to run through a new and potentially antagonistic committee The company will have less flexibility about wages and layoffs in case of an economic downturn They may become less competitive with a nonunion entity They may have to renegotiate every single employee contract Whether or not a union would be good per se in a space settlement given how costly and hazardous any kind of strife would be you may want to begin your space settlement with some sort of collective bargaining entity purely to avoid a dangerous transition A union would also reduce some of the power imbalance by giving workers the ability to act collectively in their own interest However this may not happen in reality if the major space capitalists of today are the space company town bosses of the futureーboth Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos kept their companies ununionized while CEOs Economic ChaosAnother basic problem here is that company towns being generally oriented around a single good are extremely vulnerable to economic randomness Several scholars have noted that company towns tend to be less prone to strife when they have fatter margins It s no coincidence that the pipe bomb incident above came about during a serious drop in the price of coal early in the twentieth century Price drops and general bad economic conditions can mean renegotiations of contracts in an environment where the company fears for its survival Things can get nasty If Muskow makes its money on tourism it might lose out when Apple opens a slightly cooler Mars resort two lava tubes over Or there could be another Great Depression on Earth limiting the desire for costly space vacations So what s a space CEO to do In terrestrial company towns if a Great Depression shows up one option is for the town to just fold It s not a fun option but at least there s a train out of town or a chance to hitchhike Mars has a once every two years launch window Even a trip to Earth from the Moon requires a kilometer shot in a rocket which will likely never be cheap The biggest rockets on the drawing board today could perhaps transport a hundred people at a time Even for a settlement of only ten thousand people that s a lot of transport infrastructure in case the town needs to be evacuated Throw in that at least right now we don t even know if people born and raised on the Moon or Mars can physiologically handle coming back to Earth and well things get interesting The result is that there is a huge ethical onus on whoever s setting this thing up Not just to have a huge reserve of funding and supplies and transportation so that people can be saved or evacuated if need be but also to do the science in advance to determine if it s even possible to bring home people born in partial Earth gravity There is some precedent for governments being willing to prop up company towns Many old Soviet monotowns now receive economic aid from the Russian government We should note however that keeping a small Russian village on life support will be a lot cheaper than maintaining an armada of megarockets for supplies and transportation This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
