Note
While the news is concerning, it seems Daily Galaxy had all the hallmarks of a content mill aping more legit sources. I had no idea because I follow a lot of RSS feeds and this had been sitting there for a while now. I choose it for the science stuff. Sorry. I honestly wasn’t aware.
To put this in perspective, Jeff Bezos just one of the islands residents makes $10 million dollars every hour and 20 minutes. That’s day and night, round the clock, whether he is ‘working’ or not. He makes more in 14 minutes than most people do in their entire lives.
This would be like an average person paying $1 to fix their towns sewage problem. It costs approx $420 on average to have your septic tank pumped, which ‘normal’ people with septic tanks have to pay every 3 to 5 years. They can’t pay off a politician to have their neighbors pay for it, and they probably wouldn’t if they could. Bozos could have just paid the $10 mil, and donated another 10 mil to upgrade they system and it would have been the equivalent of pocket change for him.
People act like leftists are just jealous of Billionaires, it has nothing to do with jealousy. The literally insane levels of greed and entitlement it takes to think this way is off the charts. They would rather pay off a politician and change the law than to just pay their bills like a normal person. This is toxic thinking of the highest degree.
The entitlement of the rich is amazing.
I loved going to this Island and killing people in GTA Vice City. I hope GTA 6 includes it.
I don’t know Florida all that well at all, so from the leaks I can’t really tell because I don’t actually know where we’re talking about but apparently it’s an extremely detailed map so it may be included.
Oh this is Starfish Island??
Probably not this one specifically because there’s several Epsteinite rape islands in the bay.
But that house on the lower left looks EXACTLY like Diaz’s mansion.
hey Siri, where can I get a few of those cool aquatic drones that Ukraine is using in their war with Russia?
#SendMoreBlueShells
so fucking sick of these people playing Asshole Tycoon with our world
Wait wait wait wait
Many billionaires live on a man made island ioff the coast of Florida?
I mean if they’re all in one spot, I guess this makes things easier
They need more than a gated bridge to stop the floods they will endure.
Exactly what I was thinking.

What floods? This has been public knowledge for time. You gonna do it? Or is this just wishful thinking

It’s inside the Miami metropolitan area.
Last cenus was in 2020, showing 41 homes and 84 people across 0.43 sq mi/1.11km2. It is sometimes referred to as “Billionaire bunker”, because it’s a gated community on an island, and the one bridge in and out has a police checkpoint, it also apparently has its own government and law enforcement. If you try to get close by water, a police boat shows up.
I wonder how they deal with drones.
I would imagine they might be a bit paranoid about them.
ever see a drone light show? you literally can’t see the whole swarm of them until the lights are on.
on an unrelated note, an electronically actuated ghost gun wouldn’t need to have a conventional shape and wouldn’t need a bunch of conventional parts.
You can do a lot with electricity, the right materials, and the right delivery mechanism.
This is definitely legit, this happened awhile ago: https://sh.itjust.works/post/40291459
Just billionaire shit
I hope their pedophile island gets taken over when the oceans rise.
I have seen slum lords spend hundreds of thousands to avoid tens of thousands in septic repairs.
This totally tracks.
They want to avoid setting a precedent.
I hope rising sea levels swallows their bullshit island.
Theyve got multiple megayachts waiting for that day.
The billionaires are doing billionaire stuff again!
jared/ivanka and tom brady live there too. surprised there isn’t a multi-billion dollar federal grift involved yet.
So instead of a $10M municipal contract to upgrade the sewer lines, it was easier to just get the republicans to add a specific waver and force the neighbouring town to take their sewage.
I’m pretty sure Bezos can find that in his couch, and the whole island is billionaires.
So 40 billionaires can’t pay to hook in to the local sewage system and then pay their fair share? Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change? I mean fuck they could even fund the whole sewage system for not only them but for the nearby towns as well.
You don’t get ultra-rich by paying your fair share, but by leeching on others, like they are now trying to do
Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change?
It’s not about the money
It’s about “fuck you, I do what I want now do what I tell you or I will throw more money than most cities get in their yearly budget in order to ruin everything for everyone”
They don’t even care about the sewage
