- lesuorac 1y agoIt's a pretty clever life hack. If I own a ship on land I have to pay property taxes but if I just sink it to the bottom of the ocean I have people pay me! Maritime laws just seem overly weird though. If I lost a car in the woods then after 100 years it seems pretty reasonable that any scrapper could take it and salvage what they want ...
