Walt was one savvy entrepreneur. What he did, to prevent people from knowing he was buying up swamp land in Florida, was use different subsidiaries to buy the land, or a combination of utilizing a lawyer, who'd then transfer the land to his ownership. The logic followed, if people knew who was buying up the land, they'd all price gouge him.

Speaking of buying land, we need a political movement to force the Federal government to offload it's massive ownership of land

Especially in Nevada.

They're subjugated to poverty out there.

rip star wars

I mean, Nevada is essentially unliveable

allegedly there’s an old republic trilogy being made **oh boy**

Yeah, but have you ever been through I80 and the backroads through NV?

Nope

It's like a third-world country, with shanty-towns made of shacks everywhere.

@Jeremy I just had lunch. Food was fkn incredible. Can’t eat another bite. Totally stuffed.
Cost me 40THB which is around $2AUD
This place can run a successful business because 1) Almost zero goddamn regulations. and 2) Good old free market competition responding to a good product.
Thailand is fkn great.

I've seen this out in California, too.

Because it's an inhospitable desert, no?

I can't say I've been to Thailand, Scale_e, but I'm sure everything is magnificent out there. South Korea must be a great environment for business as well.

THB = Thailandese Handjob 🅱ollars

I'm serious, Unfiltered. I wish I had photos from my roadtrip to Cali. I took with my father when he got back from Iraq.

I've never seen anything like it.

I don't doubt that living conditions in rural nevada and california are dogshit

But people shouldn't be living there anyways

It's a goddamn desert

What do they expect?

Reminds me of how they depicted shanty-towns in District 9, where the aliens were living.

Fair enough, but Vegas seemed to develop well, apart from the casinos, but arguably that's all they had to offer and drive their local economy anyway.

Certainly, more land in NV *could* be developed, if the opportunity costs justified.

@Jeremy I'm sorry did you just compare cali to district 9 lol

Vegas is a fucking pit.
It's a complete farce of unsustainable development propped up on casino money. Every single person there would die if they weren't screwing over everyone that comes there for everything they're worth

The shanty-towns, @MrDrk666, absolutely.

People are living in towns made out of sheet metal for housing.

Even district 9 did a better job of cleaning literal human shit off the street

>when you're so god damn Jewish that you go out into the FUCKING DESERT to build your cheap shit tourist hole just because the land is cheap

Lmfao.

@Jeremy no need for explanation. I was just making sure. It's fucken funny

Lol

Serious, rewatch district 9.
See anyone squatting down in the street laying bricks?
No.
Didn’t think so.

But I mean really the same is true of most of california

That's a rather rational observation, @UnfilteredGarbage, as not many would want to live there anyway.

@Scale_e well i didn't see that in Cali when i visited my sister

Were you in LA or SF?

You only see it when you're driving through NV and making your way down I80.

@Scale_e south of la like 10 mins
