If you're surprised or upset by news about the fraudulent acquisition of government money by private actors responding to incentives - you might not be a libertarian at all, just a plain old right-winger who thinks "liberty" is when the government works in the interest of the people.

Don't ever make the omelette, comrade, because if you did, you'd have to stop breaking eggs.

Who would've guessed that Mango wood is tough as nails, cheap, and beautiful?

Nobody in Russia has ever tried to harm me other than by selling me cheap natural gas and downright gross foodstuffs. "My" government however - the one with the legal monopoly over my life - coercively (and violently, if need be) takes my money without giving anything in return and continues to burden me with an ever-growing pile of senseless and contradictory rules. So don't try to tell me who and where my enemies are.

Absolute banger, well researched and well written.

If it's all the same to you, be a trader, not a rent seeker.

I love seeing bitcoin and gold soar, each rallying while the other is correcting, consistently hammering home the fact that the coercive money the looters, bureaucrats, and child killers are forcing upon decent people cannot last and will go down in history as another failed attempt at extracting wealth from the world without giving anything in return, like Persian god kings, Lacedaemonian militarism, absolutist monarchy, and Soviet communism.

Giddy up, jingle-fuck.
