"Certainty" is a euphemism for slavery or less labor costs, no taxes, minimal environmental regulations at best and those had used to prevent startups, no or little competition protected by regulations that leave big operators unscathed, socialized downside with private profits, lots of surplus labor making workers compete for any position at extreme levels resulting in low wages and high compliance levels, no oversight, and perhaps most of all a government that does not have to fluctuate or even compromise with the whims and demands of its populace.
"Certainty" requires very limited self determination and no broad prosperity along with a blind willingness to spoil, waste, and abuse every resource mineral, land, air, water, and human to drive bottom lines.
