Bay Area Billionaire wants to build floating libertarian countries

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, according to a profile of the billionaire in Details magazine.

Thiel has 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. 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."

Despite the all-star cast of cluless people in this video, the talking head "reporter" really brings it all together and thoroughly owns it.
This shit is happenin everywhere, and the cops know it, and that's why they got itchy trigger fingers these days.
Back when people had jobs and things were affordable, people believed in the system.
Now that there are no jobs and everything is expensive, there is disbelief, and appropriately so.
