It's usually what sunk, rather literally, the projects of the libertarians on water so far, lol. They're not willing to invest sufficient coins in maintaining their toys and it sinks at the first big storm.

"Sea steading" became a running gag, at that point.

Now, the Oil Party are forced to pay for oil rigs maintenance tho if they want to keep access to oil, so mysteriously those tend to stay mostly afloat by large. Crazy that difference when the means are put in, lmao. ('cause yes an oil plateform is basically a floating city the size of an aircraft carrier, think CATOBAR big, with sometimes thousands aboard, based on offshore oil mining & pumping away. With motivation for it to stay functional, this time.)

^ Yes it's a giant supertanker for oil docked, if dwarfed, next to it.

And when they pay people adequately they even got enough crazies to properly staff em, all the time, year long : https://www.maritimeherald.com/oil-rig-workers-salaries/

Yes there's some danger around (gas, falling in water or lower decks, ...); but people still almost fight to get a feet in with those wages.

^ tens of thousands a year 'cause they want oil and suddenly even the tanker boats are suddenly all crewed too. NoBoDyWaNtStoWorK right. For 3$ tipped, yes. Put 40-270K and the entire old crew lines up on deck and texas has their oil delivery.
