Than along comes some pirates. They invade these floating habitats. They kick ass and plunder the goods.
Utopia dies. End of story.
“On their floating habitats, and free from governmental overreach”
The left and the authoritarians will never tolerate this.
They’ll kill any such free people to prevent any other people from getting any bright ideas about escaping their status as tax and wage slaves.
LOL - there have been so many attempts to create Utopia on earth. This one will, if it even happens, will end the same way.
Where’s that 78 ft. wave when you need it?
They’d discrimminate against cattle ranchers. Big meanies.
Yeah, good luck with that!
“On their floating habitats, and free from governmental overreach, “
Yeah... government would take no interest in that at all. Not our government that literally claims jurisdiction on the moon, and on into space.
Cool. This would be just like “Water World” with Kevin Costner, a fantasy.
Enriching the poor? So will they tax their crypto currency holdings to give to the poor?
Who is doing to do the work of repair and maintenance of these artificial islands/ships???? Guest workers imported from the land?? Will they have an underclass who do the scut work?
“where people could live by whatever rules they so please”
Because this is working so well already in all the places liberals are destroying with thier alt-reality worldviews...
meh. New Zealand
A majority vote in Congress, Trump’s signature (and a state’s willingness to part with territory) can create a new independent nation, or two, or two hundred.
In general government overreach is directly proportional to population density. The closer people live together, the more rules and government enforcement is required to make it work. Densely populated islands are for libtards, not freedom lovers.
I’d like to live, on the sea. In an octopus’s garden with you.
Someone needs to rent this entire bunch a copy of ‘Waterworld” and make them watch it about 13 times-—back to back to back to.......
“Other goals include: housing refugees who are displaced as climate change gives rise to higher sea levels, enriching the poor, curing the sick, feeding the hungry, living in balance with nature, and powering the world.”
What about eternal life??
