Sounds like a gated community, with a really shitty commute.

No mention of the fact that they'll be entirely reliant on normal humans for all of their food and supplies? And where do you find a billionaire libertardian willing to mow the lawn and take out the garbage? Nowhere, of course, so they'll have a Mess-o'-Messicans on board as well - easy enough, with no immigration laws, but with no minimum wage laws either, it could get unpleasant (for the Messicans.)

What with the tons of gold they'll lug along with them, the whole thing is bound to sink like the proverbial stone.

Perhaps, in the building of the thing, the richies will finally (accidentally) end up creating some jobs for once, so I'm all in favor of the exercise.

"A Republican with <u>money, health insurance, and</u> the intellect of a 12 year old."

Fixed.

With my home floating on this thing, I'd certainly prefer tighter building codes.

I was thinking of something more, I don't know, "explosive," but OK.
