    I’d probably reluctantly live in Hawaii. If someone were paying me an unreasonable amount of money to do so. Distance seems to temper the worst of the bullshit.

      What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
      See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He’s got a bunker there.
      Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
      Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar… Oprah, etc.
      So we’ll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you…

      Also if I get to displace some American jag off that moved there. They don’t get to trade with me and come here, but I get to kick them out and take their house.

      By this time next year it will either be its own thing or part of another country, this place will be a Balkanized mess by then

        It will be increasingly overrun by tech bros who are setting up compounds to hunker down through the worst of whatever the future holds.

          they also found out that they couldnt run thier little compounds efficiently, no waste removal system. just the other month i think BEZOs was complaining about human waste not be properly disposed from his compund/island.

          If they can build their corpo-feudal city states they may not. We’re all probably gonna have to fight eventually, may as well do it in paradise?

          No clue, but with the escalations towards the occupations of American cities they will have their hands full
