Why can't these employees use their normal State Department issued passports again? jBrereton posted:Peep this hosed up situation: employees can already have these, they're called "passports". Taxes, duh. Apple already had a deal with the Irish government to have their HQ's address not exist anywhere so they could pay no taxes lol if you think companies won't try to figure something out as they get more powerful and as state actors are increasingly toothless to enforce or regulate them. It's the next logical step or two after the offshore tax haven stuff is clamped down on. e: plus if I were a billionaire (esp in Russia) I'd be interested in anything that would allow me to continue traveling internationally even if my home state revoked my passport.

Modern multinational corporations are the biggest non-government agglomeration of power since organized religion. The idea that they might try asserting their own statehood isn't that farfetched.
