After the fat lady has sung

There will be a vast range of appalling messes,
and corresponding enormous business opportunities.
Those who plan furthest ahead how to take up those
opportunities will be in the best position to make
a whole series of fortunes--but they won't come
easy. The problems posed by centuries of government
are of staggering complexity.... Suppose you're
good at tree farming and have your eye on a few
thousand acres of prime Alaska forest to be worked,
to keep you and your family in comfort for the next
several generations. You check it all out,
calculate the price you're willing to pay, find
that nobody is trying to outbid you, and get out
your checkbook. Oops! To whom, exactly, do you
make out the check?

Possible scenario:

The GAO (Government Accounting Office) is
portioned off for bid to ~100 of the biggest
accounting firms as the GAO knows where some of
the government property is. The accounting firms
get a percentage of money collected. Hundreds of
bankruptcy courts are also formed getting a
percentage.

...or...

Just move on, stake your claim, put some junkyard
dogs on it pissing in all the corners, and go to
work.


After The Glorious Experiment goes tits up, you're
going to have to defend your own claims. You may
want to add something a bit meaner to guard your
property.

The whole essay.
