Libertairans (unintentional misspelling left in intentionally) will invent “airsteading” in which they have multicopter-cities that are somehow powered by turning bitcoin into a previously-unknown form of deadly waste that they simply put into the upper atmosphere

I remember a decade or so back seeing libertarians unironically pushing “space-steading” where they’d live in like, tiny spheres of styrofoam covered metal in low earth orbit, entirely under their own control. It was basically the “sea-steading” idea but made even more dangerous and unworkable.

Love too be every western media outlet, that at some point in the last ten years, has said the entire country of China, with over a billion inhabitants, is just a giant real estate ponzi scheme that will surely implode any day now. Love to be very correct and not coping with anything.

As if all of Canada isn’t a giant real estate ponzi scheme at this point. There’s an empty tract of land in my area that sold for like half a million a few years ago, and it’s probably going to sell for $800k right now. It’s not even in a nice location.

Maybe we could also build them an exclusive tunnel that’s too narrow for emergency access

“Soylent Bar-b-que is people, SOYLENT BAR-B-QUE IS PEOPLE”, I shout at the mouth of the Musk Subtubeway 11897 as Tesla after Tesla quietly auto pilot their occupants into the tunnel, never to be seen again, the faint smell of cooking meat stirred by the passage of the cars.

Hey now, we’ve got… one line in the works. We started it in 2009 and if we’re really lucky it might get done by 2035. What more do you want?!
