National Borders Have Become Irrelevant
I’ve really come to the conclusion that borders are bullshit and I can’t wait until they are increasingly viewed as an anachronism like they have come to be viewed within the EU.
They create a number of inefficiencies in many many systems and the truth is that the only necessary system that really needs them to function under the current model is taxation to support public infrastructure within a region.
However, even that can be solved by only taxing everything that is immobile, such as land, buildings, businesses that need to exist in a certain physical location for prosperity, such that both those that live in a place and those that visit a place, pay directly for the use of all the public services in that place via the infrastructure that accommodates them (places to sleep, eat, work and be entertained).
