Which is why when people make it to mars it will thrive. No taxes, no debt and no government regulation. Just build, build, build baby.
Hopefully 3D printing and materials science will have some cool tech in the future otherwise it could be a slow start.
Assuming humans make it to Mars is already a leap, but assuming a government won’t form almost immediately, if somehow one doesn’t exist from the beginning of colonization, seems even less likely
You'd be entirely dependent on Musk City with its regulations for having resources to stay alive. At least on Earth you can go live in the woods or become a tax exile or some such.
