Everything is illegal, everyone is a criminal, everyone is under surveillance 24/7, and no one cares.
Living in a police state means that you must live in dread of being arrested. You can't help feeling hopeless.

I have my own IT company, so already doing that to a certain extent. And yes, that is the completely correct line of reasoning for most, if not all, highly qualified people within IT.

True. Voting with the feet is the one of the best things you can do to improve your life and to improve the lives of others. The place you leave behind will be worse off, since it does not deserve you, and the place you move to will be better off due to you contributing there with your skills on the market.

If you are a law-abiding and responsible person who doesn't have any debt, you might totally lose respect for the government and laws if you get fined $30,000 for having an illegal flagpole.

@h4890 @monarchist @Example @freepatriot I would rather live in an opportunity state than a welfare state. Freedom over dependence.

@monarchist @korsier @freepatriot I often think about the Coca Cola case.
Lots of people drink way too much Coca Cola.
I then try to come up with, how can markets be made more functional, and will that help people realize that they should not drink too much Coca Cola?
Is better education needed?
A long term fix is of course darwinism, but that only works over generations.

Is there a list of micro nations and how they are doing?
Also, this is an interesting observation. Is there anything that would have prevented pacific islands from innovating? Or is it that the heritage and culture of Liechtenstein and Monaco are superior which enabled them to survive?
Let me throw in the caribbean islands into the mix. There are quite a few which focus on banking and they seem to be pretty successful.

True! Since there is no accountability in politics, and since people are "captured" for 4 years, it makes long term, well thought out plans impossible, and socialism more or less inevitable in order to buy votes.
