“This is one of the worst things I’ve ever done,” she said of being mayor. “I’ve never dealt with such angry people. I’m washing my hands of everything. … I’m going to travel. I’m going as far away from Von Ormy as I can.”
Nearly everyone in town has an opinion on who’s to blame. But it’s probably safe to say that the vision of the city’s founder, a libertarian lawyer whose family traces its roots in Von Ormy back six generations, has curdled into something that is part comedy, part tragedy.

When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.
One woman, who prudently chose to remain anonymous save for the sobriquet “Doughnut Lady,” revealed to Hongoltz-Hetling that she had taken to welcoming bears on her property for regular feasts of grain topped with sugared doughnuts. If those same bears showed up on someone else’s lawn expecting similar treatment, that wasn’t her problem. The bears, for their part, were left to navigate the mixed messages sent by humans who alternately threw firecrackers and pastries at them. Such are the paradoxes of Freedom.
This is the case in most places in the US, but check your local and state laws first if you’re a car collector. Some areas require them to be in an enclosed structure (e.g. garage), or not visible from the street, or not on a paved surface directly connected to a public street, etc.
Is this what the Fed chair says when reading the oracle’s text messages and magically changes rates of increase just one more time in order to finally appease the vengeful Economy?
Does anyone know what they’re doing or is Economics modern-day shamanism?
All I see is "Police, please pull me over. I obviously don't have a license or registration, so this will be an easy conviction for your records." If you're going to flaunt the law, at least make an effort to do it low-key...
Yeah but without resorting to dragging someone out of their car physically who isnt being violent and getting sued or having to answer excessive force complaints means you are going to be there for a LONG time.
I can absolutely see a cop that isnt a powertripping piece of shit not want their whole day to be dealing with one fruitcake.
Yes. You can do that. Just as long as you don't drive it off your property. Sure looks like you're in a public space. That's a shame, you will need to abide by public regulations.
Like they are clearly and flagrantly breaking the law... BUT aside from the lack of registration and insurance they arent really being a clear and obvious danger to anyone. Do we want the cops pulling them over and wasting their whole afternoon dealing with made up laws and arguing with fuckwits or actually looking for drunk drivers or people being legitimately unsafe.
I love how they both want to except from all government relations, except boy that constitution is like their gospel. You can't disassociate from the country and site the constitution of said country.
It looks scammy, just a collection of other sites you can buy things from with no information on why they’re collected. There’s also a “members area” and no “about us” page. I’d guess it’s a referral/commission scam and this particular crazy was conned into advertising for them, likely for the promise of a pittance they’re yet to see.
His plan is to say, "I'm not driving, I'm traveling" and then lord over the police officer as they try to apologize for wasting his time.
They think they've figured out the magic spells Trump uses to avoid paying his bills, not realizing that Trump's way of doing it involves lawyers and credible bluffs, including that he has the resources to indefinitely drag out things to make them as expensive as possible for anyone trying to go against him. And it's not clear when it's a bluff and when it isn't because the system is designed for that kind of tactic to be effective, so even Mr. Famously Doesn't Pay His Lawyers can even do it, though he probably had more luck with it before he got so famous for not paying his lawyers.
The problem for them is, it never works out the way they think it will. Especially because the whole premise is treating police like they have no power in a situation where they do, which tends to make them want to be violent.
Imagine him with the power of a craft knife and some vinyl faced, adhesive-backed sheets. Blood, chaos, 911 calls demanding a ride to the hospital......
I love these guys, they are wankers, but they have a point. I didn’t get a say in any if the laws the upper class subject me to. Let ‘em clog up the courts for all I care.
