If not you better be

 

[Dirk Funk]

That's for damn sure.

 

[Sarek]

Why?

 

[Dirk Funk]

Why?

The Chinese hold a massive amount of US debt. The dollar collapses, they're in deep shit.

 

[Sarek]

No, I mean why worry at all? Our politicians have fucked us and there's not much we can do about it. So why worry.

 

[Dirk Funk]

I see your point.

 

[Dual]

No, I mean why worry at all? Our politicians have fucked us and there's not much we can do about it. So why worry.

We can stage a coup on a small Pacific island nation and create a libertarian paradise.

 

[Dirk Funk]

It's worth a try.

 

[Dual]

First we'll need two motorboats and a roll of barbed wire. More would be nice, but those are the bare necessities. Some Samoan mercenaries will definitely help out.

 

[The Question]

Maybe we should just get a hardcore mob of elite (meaning, nose-picking-level) hackers to liquidate the assets of every politician in the U.S. and put their collective net worth to the deficit, then channel 100% of their future earnings into taxes.

 

[Blindgroping]

Or maybe, we ought to convince the politicians the the eARTH IS DOOMED AND THAT THEY SHOULD FLEE THE PLANET.
And that they were first because of their "importance" and that we will be following shortly.

On their way out, we'll all be back here pointing and laughing.

 

[Conchaga]

We just need to make sure that their lifeboat is a space shuttle and that we set the coordinates into the sun.
