This Thiel lieutenant / eugenics freak thinks billionaires should have their own lawless artificial island countries ("seasteading"), there should be markets for selling human organs, and the FDA should allow drugs to be sold without evidence they're effective. www.citizen.org/article/jim-...

I'd be glad to put them all out there on an island in the ocean. Then cut off all contact with the rest of us.

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here, and say that no one who isn't a licensed physician and board certified infectious disease specialist, and preferably the head of a hospital department, should be anywhere near that position.

Whether it's international waters, orbit, the moon, or Mars; they will go extra-national at some point to further free themselves from laws and taxes. Between now and then, it's just a matter of what they won't be caught / tried for doing...

Then those MFers need to go buy islands and try to become independent of the country they’re already part of. I’m sure some would give up a few for some cash. GTFO of the United States.

Markets exist globally for human organs. I taught doctors in China who were forced to repeatedly harvest organs from mass executions, having 4 minutes between bullet to the brain and organ in ice pack. They would have lost their licenses for refusing. The USA is only one step away.

Acting CDC Director discussing incentives for a market where "healthy spare kidneys are walking around, unused." I doubt he meant his own spare kidney. Equally curious is who, precisely, does he want to earn "donation" money? bsky.app/profile/jswe...

He could use Erik Prince's Economic Enterpise Zone in Hondorus. It is already established and likely already has hostages by way of third world countries. Acting CDC Director O'Reilly called for incentives for "unused" kidneys "walking around" and I doubt he meant his own.

So he's roughly as qualified as the heads of the EPA and Education Dept. and the DOJ's Civil Rights Divisions (etc). Cue furrowed brow headlines like, "nominee with views outside the mainstream", and "he may have some good ideas" editorials. And he'll be confirmed on a simple party line vote.

Abolishing FDA drug regulations was a policy reform favored by Milton Friedman. He thought the "market should decide" the fate of new pharmaceuticals based on how many people they killed or made sick.

I'm okay with sending billionaires to an Island with few resources and doing a food drop every so often to keep them fed. They can sort their organs amongst themselves.

But only one island, there are a lot of decent people that already live on islands, and I don't want to displace them. Maybe one with little elevation gain so they can watch climate change happen.
