    Works for me! As long as Amazon will still deliver to my address, you can find me homesteading at my Uncle Ted cabin sending virtual mailbombs to fiat currency enthusiasts. Don’t come visit without an appointment though or you’ll be leaving in a box.

      They won’t, those roads are maintained by taxes and the internet infrastructure is subsidized.

        There goes my dream of being self sufficient. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

        I hope you’re happy.

        I didn’t do anything wrong though. No vote, no taxes, no use of publicly funded infrastructure, that was the deal. Amazon is a private company, they do pay taxes, so they can use the roads on my behalf.

          That’s the fun thing though, taxes pay for the legal system that protects you from both the state and other people. So you don’t get that either. Anyone including the FBI can roll up and smoke your ass and there’s nothing you can do about it.

          And I dunno what a virtual mailbomb is, but it sounds like something the FBI would care enough to stop.

            It’s just a funny word I made up for inconvenient free speech. Because it is my experience that right words at the right time can literally make a person blow up LOL

              Ah well. It will be difficult to talk to anyone, because the internet, postal service, and telecommunications are all subsidized by taxes.
