Nice opening post, Jrode, the only problem is you never answer your title question? Would you care to do that?

In a lot of places people will mow other lawns ont he block just because they're paranoid about real estate values.

They don't? Norway, Sweden and Denmark who you probably would label leftist is three of the countries that gives the most amount of foreign aid as a percentage of their gross national income: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_aid#Top_10_aid_donor_countries_.282013.29

I think what he's actually saying there is "why don't they give money outside of any state's borders", in other words, "why don't they give any money to me so I can make a seastead and go galt".

Nah, he's definitely going the standard conservative concern troll route of "oh, you think the 1% have too much money? Well, on a global scale, perhaps it is you who has too much money! Why don't you want to fix that? Oh, you do? Time to talk about something else.

His words don't support that though. The only sensible reading is that he's bitching we don't give money to people who are somehow not in any state, which is approximately no people outside people currently on transoceanic air/sea transport. No point to give him more credit and assume he means something that at least makes sense!

No, check out his very next sentence. And the next paragraph.

You are being entirely too fair to a man who deserves no such fairness.

It's still quite annoying that jrodefeld hasn't answered his own question in the thread title. It's been many days, and it's simply uncouth.

Speaking of which, I'm kind of surprised that the House Freedom Caucus chose the Tortilla Coast instead of a beer hall.

Their grandparents told them how hard it is to take one over. :tipshat:

Big talk from someone whose country has no actual constitution and hence no human rights provisions possible in one.
