<p>You can enter Mexico, and they have only checked I had paperwork/passport about one times of ten.  No reason why you can't do the same thing if you want to do currency arbitrage.  Paraguay will give you a residence permit pretty much just for showing up if you can get ahold of a USA passport, or you can avail yourself of the compact of free association and live in Micronesia without a visa.  The arbitrage game is for everybody.</p>

<p>That works for a bit but eventually friends get sick of it, and if they don't a baby is born and it suddenly becomes real weird and very obvious you are intruding on the baby.  There is a timer ticking in this scenario.  By the time all your friends have kids the chance you can stay anywhere reaches ~zero.</p>

<p>Having actually built, planned, and done all the paperwork for a house myself most the extra costs that can't be worked around (you can DIY everything if you want) is permitting, inspection, and codes.  I just didn't get my house inspected nor did I submit engineered plans, so saved tons of money, but most people don't have the option to bypass 'safety' inspections and they get gutted like a pig following all those rules.<p>The actual materials cost of a house, you can build one for $60k no problem and absolute shit-tons of cheap land near jobs (ex: unemployment extremely low in the Dakotas, cheap land, high demand for homeless-tier labor in the fields in bumfucklandia as ICE deports illegals making farmers desperate for anybody).</p>

<p>That works as long as they don't strip out all the copper wiring, appliances, doors, windows, and anything else of value either because of drugs or some other unmet real need or other issues that come up when inevitably they can't be monitored 24/7.  Which probably will only happen sometimes, but it only takes a few to destroy the whole program due to the sky high cost of construction in the US.<p>You probably need some buy in, like have the homeless people go into a wood with an axe and build their own cabin.  Then it's all their own labor if they lose it.</p>

<p>Nobody is buying this bullshit anymore, we're not going down for your campaign to dupe us into "replacing a popular one" like happened in Iraq when the USA created a power vacuum and then much of it got taken over by ISIS, much of which was left to Kurdish and other local resistance groups to flush out after your deranged "nope. Nope," propaganda of lies military campaign ended.</p>

<p>I don't pretend this is an argument at all in towards the situation in Iran, so don't quote me as justifying action or inaction there in regards to this, but it is interesting to take note North Korea actually has dozens of real nuclear weapons and the death to America rhetoric and all we seem to do is laugh at them.  Of course NK has no real ability to blow up the US, but they could likely nuke or at least obliterate a sizeable piece of ally South Korea no problem.</p>

<p>Iraq and Gaza was an absolute joke compared to what it would take to topple the Iranian militants, militias, and government.<p>Much of the terrain is similar to Afghanistan.  Tribal islamic alliances are resilient against loss of central governance.  There is a massive porous mountainous border to 2+ countries that conceivably will look the other way for certain islamic militants.<p>I know everyone wants to gobble down the campaign about complete air superiority and toppling of leaders, and that WhatsApp may be separating the regime from 52 virgins, but realize this is a propaganda campaign.  This initial propaganda only serves to manufacture consent long enough to buy citizens in to blood so they can't back out.  We're in the process of being tricked.</p>

<p>The first casualty of war is truth.<p>It's state secrets all the way down.  None of us plebs know what is happening deep in Fordo.  Similar strategy was employed when the US went after Saddam, and it will work again whether they are arguing the evidence is one way or the other.</p>

<p>The longer I live, the more I find most things in life are just delaying something, and ultimately just death.  My teeth are shit, I fix them a little at a time and just pray they don't break down too much before I'm dead.  Some of my muscles/tendons bones are getting weaker, I just baby them enough that hopefully I can keep their use to old age.<p>We hope to push most the bad stuff beyond or as far towards death as possible, and death as far away as possible so long as not too much bad stuff is already happening.  The question then becomes at what rate we slow the delay of schizo-affective disorder or some other mental illness.  It's coming for all of us, given enough time.</p>

<p>It is trivial in many states and jurisdictions to get a temporary order.  One was obtained against David Lettermen just by a woman in a different state claiming he was sending her secret messages through the TV.<p>The final order is more difficult, but quite often (i.e. in divorce / custody court) the only goal was to evict them from the home and disrupt custody to get the upper hand in hearings, so temporary is all that's needed to do the job and then no need to actually defend the claim made 14+ days later when they're already homeless and with the baseline of out of the kid's life.<p><a href="http://www.ejfi.org/PDF/Nestler_Letterman_TRO.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.ejfi.org/PDF/Nestler_Letterman_TRO.pdf</a></p>

<p>My hot take is the majority of complaints made by people who otherwise had planned on staying together are probably valid.<p>The divorce industry and divorce lawyers request these orders like candy, as leverage for proceedings and to take away custody briefly during the temporary order while the custody hearing is going on so that during custody hearings it can be argued the child already is only with the mom or dad and they should get full custody.  It also lets you eject the partner from the home without a legal eviction process, so they are at their weakest and homeless when fighting in court.  They produce a massive number of weak DV claims, the point was never to take them final but to provide enough of a discontinuity in their life to crush them.</p>

<p>I'll be honest, I have not seen a single <i>implemented</i> legal system I would like to live under, although that's not to dismiss all systems as equally bad.  I was imprisoned in the USA once because an officer claimed a dog alerted, resulted in being stripped naked and cavity searched -- but that doesn't mean the entirety of our justice system is bad.  Which isn't implied to be as bad as, say, a rapist getting away with it via a forced marriage as might happen under Shariah or xeer law.</p>

<p>I don't see it as a binary option.  Why can't we learn from one another?  I'm more interested in some of the elements found in for instance that system, where the victim can elect to prioritize restitution over retribution when it leads to a higher likelihood they will be made whole.  I don't see any requirement that one has to embrace everything about a societies' system to find advantages in elements of it.</p>

<p>Yes I'm sure we could keep digging up more.  I've been down this rabbit hole before so I know how it always ends:  I provide a data driven take backed by source after source which ends in endless nitpicking and scrutiny and rejection of the sources, meanwhile unsourced hot takes go completely unchallenged without the demand sources, as seen in your sister comment.<p>This is the key of this two-pronged approach, one commenter can bury the data driven comment in source rejection (without being beheld to prove a counter point, since the asserter has the burden of proof) while the sister comment can drive the more approved comment unchallenged.  Of course we really know, in many cases, the two separate commenters are advancing the same line of opinion, but using this split strategy both are compartmentalized in their burdens.<p>Although, the truth is, the scrutinizer is rarely offering counter sources of their own, which they of course are under no obligation to provide.  But barring that, we're left at worst with "I don't know" which is a terrible standard under which to assume the word of the wife is predictive of guilt, thus even if all the sources are rejected you leave from a practical perspective no off no better than you started in predictive guilt.</p>

<p>There are certainly differing personal opinions on what they'd like to live under.  For instance, Dutch lawyer Michael van Notten moved from the western to to the xeer system in the horn of Africa, and found it superior in his personal estimation from the perspective of serving victims, as documented in his book.</p>
