Amusing.

That's not how money works

The value of the money is not equal to the value of all other wealth

There's no reason it should be

We have an increasing amount of evidence that being trans has some physical biological component. Here's a fresh article on the subject https://www.gilmorehealth.com/augusta-university-gender-dysphoria-in-transsexual-people-has-biological-basis/#The_biological_basis_of_sexual_dysphoria

I've also seen a shortish talk from a researcher in the field who said there have been instances of neurological evidence, too. I don't remember the details, and I can't find the specific talk without remembering them, so I unfortunately can't cite it and will have to speak a little more generally, but they found structures in the brain that corresponded to their chosen gender, NOT their assigned at birth gender.

So we do actually have some evidence for "wrong bodies" if that's how you wanna phrase it.

You have an increasing amount of evidence that souls are being put in the wrong bodies? That's incredible. Who is putting these souls in the wrong bodies? Is it some sort of demon we can fight?

It's worse than this... if they set a 2% price increase target, it means they want to take 100% of the price reduction that would be produced by technology, capital accumulation, and expansion of trade PLUS a further 2%

every year

if it's on a shelf, it's probably junk

if it's got an ingredient list, it's probably junk

Is this one of those Mandela effect things?

Are you from the timeline where it was a huge disaster?

The other thing they don't want you to know is that it has nothing to do with AIDS

Sure

There is no sky daddy, there are no souls, there are no "wrong bodies", cancer is (most often) a result of eating foods which we have not evolved to eat (resulting in mitochondrial disfunction, resulting in disregulated growth, resulting in genetic damage)

The gun & tax cases were brought BECAUSE they were bullshit

(to avoid bringing cases which would cover foreign bribery and corruption)

Hoppe prefers a private-law society to even monarchy (and I agree with him).

I do think a propertarian monarchy is an improvement over a divine-right monarchy, and a divine right monarchy is a (marginal) improvement over democracy (for the reasons Hoppe argues).

Why does the king get to charge you to use the port? In a propertarian monarchy, he owns the port. No special rights or deviation from the rule of law is needed. However, if the king has the right to suppress the construction of alternate ports (on others' land), or to demand that you not offload goods to small boats to avoid the use of any port, this is outside the bounds of what property can accomplish.

In a divine right monarchy, the crown is free to abuse the rights of the people. The king charges you to use the port because he has the power to do so, and the blessing of God over all his actions. He can and will forbid alternatives. Perhaps he gives the blessing of "monopoly" to favored associates.

I repeat my recommendation to you of HSH Hans-Adam's "The State in the Third Millenium". Modern states are undergoing a crisis of legitimation, in which divine blessing is no longer seen as sufficient to justify the power of the political elite. The stopgap has been democracy, but increasingly it is only a tenuous theoretical link (as in Washington & Brussels). The suggested alternative is genuine consent and the transformation of modern states into peaceful service companies (eg with guarantees of a local right of secession, as Hans-Adam promoted in Liechtenstein).

Fast, honest default (either renegotiation or outright repudiation)

Or slow, dishonest default (money printer go brr)

There is an enormous and ever-increasing amount of potential power in the US presidency

There is a tiny and ever-decreasing amount of actual power

A president could realize that potential, which will be called fascism, dictatorship, etc - despite being perfectly Constitutional
