    When I was a kid I had to grind 10 hours a day for runescape gold to sell on the black market just so I could buy pokemon cards. But back then 1m gold went for $1 and you could spend the whole day at the mall fishing change out of the water fountain.

    Well they probably aren't ancaps, I bet these neolibs get government funding out the wazoo. Let's just take a look at how they are funded.

    We do not receive any government funding.

    Oof. Oh well, I guess there's no point in the government funding their operations when they'll do the state department's work for free. And it's still a grift anyway, let's just check those 990s and see how much these fools are bringing in.

    Compensation of current officers, directors, trustees, and key employees: $140,288

    Total functional expenses: $612,636

    Woof. Well, not too bad keeping one lady employed full time for almost $100k a year, perhaps keeping an IT guy on hand for another $100k, and putting the rest towards a very nice slush fund.
