When Will The Pirates Stop?
Only a few days after the business with the hijacked American ship had come to an end, pirates struck again begging the question: how can we stop these scalawags at the source? The answer is simple: economics.
1) Cease the manufacturing of treasure chests. These pirates are seeking treasure, right? They have to put it somewhere. If we prohibit them from buying the newest, latest treasure chests, they’ll be forced to leave their treasure lying around. They’ll get cranky and that’s a win for us.
2) A one-year halt on the manufacturing of artificial limbs. This may hurt our non-pirate invalids, but we have to start somewhere.
3) A 50% tax on exotic/talking shoulder pets. Tough but fair.
4) Raise the price of consumer and professional planks. What’s a plank set you back these days—$400 or $500? Let’s raise the price of a long flat piece of wood as high as we can… to $550.
