I imagine it will be the hordes of little people who will be lining up in droves to work for less then minimum wage at the point of a gun and live in the unlicensed tenements.
This translates into the founding of ideologically oriented micro-states on the high seas, a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons.

The majority of Haitians can't be classified as "doers".

Then again after taking account of the political accomplishments of the libertarians I'm not sure I'd honor them with that classification either.

Most of them have very little of anything to 'do' things to.

The good ship Libertarian technotopia is set to set sail out the Golden Gate! Get your cubical reserved now, it might be a little overbooked with undocumented but industrious Indian workers. But no worry, it is just a 3 hour cruise! You will be back to the streets of San Francisco in time for dinner.

Nothing like being locked on a barge with a bunch of biotech guys trying to keep costs low. Sounds like the premise of a mutant based video game...
