Popular Dark Web Market Disappears, Users Migrate In Panic (vice.com)
An anonymous reader cites an article on Motherboard: Like the changing of the seasons, a natural stage in the dark web marketplace life cycle has once again manifested. Nucleus market, which primarily sold illegal drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabis, has disappeared: The site is unresponsive, and the market administrators have not made any announcements about planned downtime. This has forced vendors to migrate to other sites and panicked users to figure out where to go next, all amidst a whirlwind of rumours and speculation of where Nucleus -- and its cash -- has gone. 'Nucleus is an awesome market. One of the best. Hope all the admins are ok and nothing serious happened,' someone identifying themselves as a vendor wrote in a comment on the news site Deep Dot Web. At the moment, it's not totally clear why Nucleus' website is unresponsive. It could be an exit scam -- a scam where site administrators stop allowing users to withdraw their funds and then disappear with the stockpile of bitcoins.
That's why people can move. There are small Scandinavian countries that are "roll" models here in the states - so population isn't really the problem. Re the some places richer than others -- that's why people can and do move. How about you let the states decide; then people will live in the states that best suit their personality.
Don't like the hillbillies and rednecks and other ignorant republicans? Don't send them your hard earned money. According to many liberals the blue states are supporting the red states. So stop supporting them. If you're right then the rednecks will be forced to accept the wisdom of the liberal welfare state. And if they still prefer to live in their ignorance and squalor - well that's on them isn't it?
The new American liberal: scared of freedom. We go from home of the free to home of the serfs.
If you're scared of your govt then you need to further restrict its powers
Vote 3rd Party in 2016 and beyond
If you don't like taxes, from the list of things above, which one(s) should be cut or eliminated? Seriously, which ones would you do away with?
1. the EPA
2. 12 years of public education -- have the parents pay for their own kids. Don't use property taxes from folks who don't even have kids.
3. child-abuse investigators -- assault is already illegal. The normal police can do this, no need for a separate bureau
4. social services
5. drug treatment centers
6. Medicaid and Medicare -- pay for your own healthcare. You're not going to live forever no matter what you do. Dragging everyone else down with you won't save you.
7. Social Security -- come on, this is too easy.
8. community colleges -- I worked my way through school. TANSTAAFL
9. public schools -- this is a duplicate of #2
10. parks and recreation services
11. electrical utilities -- pay for it yourself, stop making others subsidize you
12. gas service -- pay for it yourself
13. a National School Lunch Program
14. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program -- IT'S CALLED MARRIAGE If you shit on the bed of your life it's still your bed to sleep in
15. School Breakfast Programs -- duplicate of #13?
16. State Children's Insurance Programs
17. Unemployment insurance -- durrrr, what's a bank account? You mean people actually save money for a rainy day?????
18. Worker's comp -- the corp should do this, not the government. If you want some kind of compensation in case you get injured then don't work for a company that doesn't offer it or form a union.
19. Senior Community Service Employment Programs -- you are supposed to have figured out how to take care of yourself and keep a job by the time you left your parent's house
20. housing and development programs -- pay for your own house. Even savages living in the stone age can do this; why can't you?
21. the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms -- you mean the Fun Police? Gee, I thought I was an adult living in a free country but now I see how mistaken I was. If you're one of the pro-legal-weed people then you must agree on this one.
22. drug treatment centers -- duplicate of #5. It's your life. Live with the consequences of your actions and deal with them as I must with mine.
23. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
24. and on and on
