Made a beach/island/sandbar level. I don't know if I'm going to make more levels. Other than that, I just need to tweak some things, add music, replace the Spy Hunter sprites with my own or stock assets, give this a name, and then I'm done.

I'm hoping that my next game would be something more inspired.

Why am I paying taxes on MY wages? Then paying sales tax to spend MY money? THEN paying property taxes on MY home that I supposedly "own?"

That doesn't even scratch the surface.

Seems like a lot, right? After all, how else are we supposed to keep ourselves safe and fund wars across the world while all of our politicians and their buddies make millions!?

Taxation is the price we pay not to be thrown in a cage by extortionists who use our own money to fund our oppression.

It's the opposite of civilized and should be reduced, or better yet, eliminated at every possible opportunity.

Your Government is not your friend and doesn't deserve another cent of the hard earned fruits of your labor.

@xianc78 @Godcast @RealRaul @Xenophon @branman65 @caekislove @jetzkrieg @leyonhjelm Here's a free seasteading business model for you: offshore uranium farming.

https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scientificamerican.com%2Farticle%2Furanium-extraction-from-seawater-takes-a-major-step-forward%2F

There are a lot of sources you can find that talk about the idea of extracting uranium from seawater, but that one is nice because it gives you some concrete numbers to play with in a spreadsheet.

Once you do all the calculations you find the process described can supply nuclear power at an implied rate of 1450 watts per kg of filter material. That's fairly decent, especially if the filter material can be reused.

On the other hand if you used a more efficient molten salt reactor design that includes online reprocessing so that you can use all the uranium instead of throwing most of it away the 27,000 kilograms / gigawatt-year mentioned at the bottom of the page drops to about 1,000 kilograms per gigawatt-year.

Rerunning the numbers with that now your extraction process is worth 39100 watts per kg of filter.

Those are the kinds of numbers you need to build a viable settlement out in the middle of the ocean. 26 tons of filter active continually will keep a 1 GW molten salt reactor fueled. Now you have plenty of energy to not just keep yourself alive but also power manufacturing and agriculture so that you have products worth selling.
