 nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 I really like the idea of Murder Offset. It explains why carbon credits always seemed like such bullshit.

But I'd change the context. Instead of "paying a murderer not to murder", maybe "my wife and I have had 3 children, so we can murder one person for free".

Or maybe "I've paid someone to not have an abortion, so I can murder for free"?

But that really starts to muddy the original argument. But in a fun and morally confusing way!
