I don't know Tim, so maybe he's an ass, maybe he's not. But I don't think he's suggesting that entire societies live according to his prescription. Obviously that wouldn't work. He's betting that only a small percentage will try his life (and he's probably correct), in which case it'll work just fine. Example: if 25% of US citizens moved to Rio to enjoy the value of the dollar down there, it'd ruin everything. At least in Rio. Since <%1 of Americans are actually going to try living in Rio for any length of time, Tim's plan will work really well.
