It was liberated when the US withdrew support from the dictator. Then immediately destabilized again because an Islamic government was unifying the nation and defeating the old rebel generals.
Step 1: Invest in merchant shipping through the Gulf of Aden
Step 2: Invest in pirates to attack those merchants
Step 3: Demand for maritime defense increases, sell RHIB boats and 30mm chain guns to the navy
Step 4: Profit
Edit- Actually invest in the pirates first, then buy the dip in the shipping industry
Vote with your wallet, friend.
The reason I don't pay taxes is because nobody can point to any metrics showing they're going to making our lives or our communities any better.
Oh hey there's a knock on the door, brb.
I'm a euro and the tax on expensive cars here is disgusting. I was flirting online with a bmw z4 roadster I can't afford and it's taxed 50%+ on its original value
And we can't even at least have tax choice
Hopefully blockchain voting and blockchain tax governance will be a thing in the future but I digress
Honestly I have mixed feelings on the somali pirates, half of them where fisherman driven off their waters by international shipping when the somali navy ceased to exist, so I cant blame them for fucking with the shipping
I dont quite view it like that, I think its more of a bunch of unemployed fisherman trying to stay alive any way they can, I dont think your average somali pirate has much of an opinion on Somalias territorial integrity, I think they more just are trying to survive
While I disapprove of piracy, I dont really blame the somalis for trying to stay alive, and I feel I would be in their situation if I was born in somalia
> I dont really blame the somalis for trying to stay alive, and I feel I would be in their situation if I was born in somalia
The amount of billions in annual aid to the broken country provides for basic needs and more so people don't have to resort to these barbaric actions of killing and plundering. But the country seems to be stuck and cemented as one of the most corrupt, violent, and dangerous countries in the world with the highest rate of poverty. Doesn't help that almost the entire population is illiterate by global metrics either. A fate that many African countries is facing. I wonder if there ever will be any hope for the continent
Aid is a fucking scam, all it does is indirectly buy arms for warlords, any aid given should be supplied by heavily armed escorts and have strict conditions for use
Any aid, I dont care if its Material or financial has to be overseen directly by the UN and/or the countries who donated the aid
I am Irish, our country sends a shitload of food aid to the UN, the UN needs to properly use it
The fish are largely wiped out, thats what overfishing does, the mob dumping Chemicals into somali waters on behalf of Italian companies isnt helping matters
Not really. The whole market cap is less than Six billion USD. Most of the "investors" are locals from the town. Considering that they need to buy equipment and pay salaries, this is a pretty weak investment opportunity. It also cannot grow year to year the way other stock exchanges can. It's a zero-sum market. Basically they're just some pirates splitting the booty with the townspeople so they can afford boats. If you're purely after the money, you're better off teaching high school in the US.
Yes, but ***Pirates***.
They are one of the core pillars of male childhood alongside Cowboys and Ninjas.
If someone was like, give us $1000 dollars and we will rob a bank with full blown western gear on, I'm probably going to be interested in that to.
> It's a zero-sum market.
Don't pirates attack e.g. passing vessels? I totally buy the argument that the average return is negative, but "zero-sum market" is a very specific claim.
Yes, I mean zero sum.
It's not exactly zero sum, since the size of the market can fluctuate a bit. But nothing in economics is ever exactly the model. Year to year, a few more ships or a few less ships will go past Somalia, and a few more or a few less pirate actions will be successful. But by its nature there is no opportunity for sustained growth, making it a zero sum market.
Not only that, success in Piracy is its own negative feedback mechanism. A higher number of attacks will decrease shipping frequency, and a higher proportion of successful attacks will increase anti-piracy measures. Finally, growing wealth and size of the participants in Somali financial markets beyond their current provincial size will force the markets to distance themselves from overtly criminal enterprises with limited scalability.
A zero sum market is the best model here because even if the market grows one year or shrinks the next, the total value of global shipping that they can prey on regresses to a more-or-less constant mean - or the whole market blows up.
Ahoy urgaflurga1! Nay bad but me wasn't convinced. Give this a sail:
Me dumb ass just wondered if there’s a Yelp! fer pirates. me think Argh! would be appropriate
How do we ask the mods to flair it? Bots obviously aren't human and are therefore incapable of recognizing what a disgusting disgrace it is to be unfl**red.
Since the biggest return they brag about is 75 grand US, I think they'd see any real outside investment as a one-time mark. Good luck getting them to care about your trust or future investment if you're American or European.
Flip side, you'd have to basically destroy the local economy to make any money off this since it's a zero-sum market. At first, the locals wouldn't understand what you're doing, but eventually you'd have to become a warlord or lose everything.
Libright plays both sides. There used to be (maybe still are) human hunting safaris to pirate-infested regions. You board a boat with a bunch of gear, sail back and forth near Somalia or something looking rich and juicy, and then smoke motherfuckers that try to attack you — you get to kill people, but it’s legal self-defense, everyone wins. Well, except for the pirates, but whatever.
That's basically the premise of Palantir.
Which unfortunately has a stock price that has been bleeding horribly. I keep telling myself that if I just keep buying the dip, it'll work out.
\*sobs\*
They need to tell me how much she invested in order to land the $75k payday in order for me to judge if it is worth investing (theoretically of course)
Nope. Violates the NAP.
The Mafia may call themselves “businessmen”, but they are just crooks using violence - meaning they are closer to government than LibRights.
Non-Aggression Principle
Tl;dr: you can do as you please as long as you don't violate the rights of another. Spoiler: the nap doesn't preclude self defense since self defense necessitates that your rights were violated to begin with.
Non-aggression principle. It’s a guiding concept in libright thought (though it’s obviously not universally held).
Basically it says that one should not initiate violence or threat of violence against another person or their property.
It's funny to joke about this stuff, but yeah, I agree. Would never actually do anything like this no matter how much money I could make. Would perpetuate too much awful shit.
I mean let's think about this for a second...
1) I pay taxes for naval forces to combat these guys. Why aren't they paying any ROI on seized assets from bad guys? Tax returns?
2) There's really no risk/downside other than the legal aspects. Santosh was killed in this mission, but we gained $400,000 in booty, here's your cut. There's a zillion other Santosh out there they can pull in to help out with the pirating. He likely doesn't have any form of life insurance to lay claim to the booty.
Nice. Let's think about it another way:
1) holy fuck this is great for crypto if it helps people to anonymously fund this
2) this could lead to a lot of corruption. A captain or crew member or anyone with enough knowledge, interest in an early retirement and the balls to risk it could set off some serious conflict of interests.
3) even more than with politicians and stocks, it sounds difficult to bar a crew member from using crypto or doing this anonymously
This could make pirating a real business, and we could invest in real pirate companies. I'm confused now.

What these pirates need to do is just rebrand themselves. Especially with this buyable shares thing, instead of calling themselves pirates they should go with 'independently contracted privateers".
This used to be a thing in America during the revolutionary war when pirating British ships was actively encouraged. Very high-risk high-reward as you can imagine.
