And that is true for all rich humans. They simply are people who had luck. There is at least a million persons for each rich dude who is as intelligent and as hard working and who isn't rich - because he/she wasn't lucky. The rich needs to come down from their high horses and realize that they are not special. People who admire them should realize that they isn't special.

"Why does everyone always think that a libertarian ideal is completely geared around making money?"

Because that is the ONLY way libertarians have demonstrated their ideology ever. Also, freedom in the libertarian sens is only freedom for the rich. The poor will not enjoy freedom in your libertarian dream world. In fact, they will have less freedom than now since they will have exactly NONE influence since there will be no power to control the economic might of the rich.

Lets all hope that they lax building codes bring the houses on their little island crashing down on them.

The big problem with these kind of rich a**holes is that don't want to contribute to society but they want society to help them. Personally I am praying for a pirate attack on this island or something else. Then they will cry for a state to help them. We ordinary people is only a tool for this kind of persons.

Wanting to live to 120 is something we don't want for these kind of people. That gives them more time to use their fellow man. The only fair thing today is that even the super rich dies. If they don't, then we ordinary people will suffer even more under even more dysfunctional 500 year old people with to much money.

Are you sure that is the recent recommendation?
Where I live we got the highest doses of radiation in Western Europe because of the Chernobyl accident and all these recommendation off what not to each now have been lifted.
You are free to eat mushrooms, moose or whatever you like. The levels of radiation is now below recommendation in all foods.

So we will see 800 Gbps and have quotas of 1Gb/month then....
Where I live the quotas are going down. You have to pay more to get less data now than 2 years ago. 4G means lower quota than 3G.
If this continues we will have tremendous bandwith in 5G but no possibility to use it...

I strongly disagree.
Germany made numerous mistakes and they all mattered. Many of the was made by Hitler himself. A few examples:
*) The war was started prematurely, before the navy building program was finished - which meant that the German navy couldn't defeat the British navy.
*) Germany underestimated the power of the Royal Airforce and the importance of radar and lost the battle of Britain.
*) Germany grossly underestimated the Red Armys tank supply and infantry strength.
*) Germany grossly overestimated their own tanks quality and underestimated the russian tank quality and got their ass handed by the T-34
*) Germany didn't continue the development of the atomic bomb despite having a head start
*) Germany didn't in time used their early lead in jet fighter development
*) When Germany finally started to produce jet fighters so did Hitler ordered them to be converted to dive bombers - which they was totally useless as
*) Germany wasted precious resources on the costly and ineffective V2 weapon, resources that had been better been used for fighter production
*) Germany didn't produce a working SAM missile until late in the war despite one being developed early. Resources was instead wasted on the V2 project

This is only a few mistakes that Germany made and that all mattered.

This is also my objection to this whole enterprise.
If they manage to get perhaps 4-8 persons on Mars - when there is no more money in this who are going to pay for sending more food and oxygen to these persons? Or are they supposed to die there?
No, of course there will be a huge outcry and USA + EU + other western nations will be forced to pay for getting them home.

So thank you for wasting my taxes on a stunt..
