Again. debord-tired

This "Galt's Gulch" shit has been tried over and over and over again, including in Puerto Rico after the big hurricane a few years back. Each time, it typically fails before the first structures are built and the griftiest grifter runs off with the money. Because Enlightened Self Interest, praise Rand. galaxy-brain

What basic necessity of modern civilization will they fuck up or straight up forget this time? In New Hampshire it was garbage collection, in Chile it was basic sewage sanitation. I hope it’s something new and funny

I'm praying for roads. Like they're gonna make a hyperloop that works even worse than elsewhere or they're gonna make some sort of weird privatized solution to asphalt that just fucks up the paving immediately

We already know how this will turn out: Half of the city is going to get bogged down in never ending lawsuits from fucking eachother over, and the other half is going to get eaten by bears.

Remember when they were baselessly claiming that the Chinese government was behind this to spy on Travis Air Force Base? Wonder if those “journalists” will face any consequences for their rabid racism

15,000 per acre sounds unusually cheap, especially for California. That's about $10 million per square mile.

It is even cheap for bad land.

What again? Do you think they learned their lessons from Bear City, or will it fail in the exact same way?
