Tired of the rat race in the USA? Sick of Democrats and Republicans and their never-ending screw-jobs? Have we got a deal for you!
Yahoo News explains:
Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters.
Thiel as been a big backer of the Seasteading Institute, which seeks to build sovereign nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties. The idea is for these countries to start from scratch–free from the laws, regulations, and moral codes of any existing place.
No laws, no regulations, no moral codes? Sounds more like anarchy to me than libertarian. We can’t quite imagine living in the middle of the ocean either, might be more exciting than I like if there’s a hurricane or tsunami.
Details says the experiment would be “a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons.”
Will this actually work and people will manage to get along with no rules, regulations and a few LAW Rockets in their closets? Or, is it a plan for disaster?
Their best bet would be to declare war on the USA, quickly surrender and then hold their hand out for billions in war reparations and foreign aid.
