unfortunately this trolling has caused trump to try to halt all large offshore wind projects in the United States in federal land grants. it's terrible.
Yep absolutely this and not at all big oil money/interest.
The USA is currently run by oligarchs. They try to buy their way into other countries via corruption. How much kickback did the government of Albania get already? It is highly suspicious how supportive they are of Trump.
In the past the wealthy families would fund building churches, hospitals, housing for poor.
Nowadays' oligarchs aren't that kind.

This is hardly under the radar, it’s all over the news.
I wonder, if I asked the next dozen people I meet, whether they would have any idea about this.

There are 2 projects here. And there is a lot of missing details from both. But what has happened before is that: The government gives free/cheap/exclusive public land to someone to build apartments/villas. They sell these to whoever wants to buy before starting construction. At the end of construction, with the profits, they build nice hotels at the frontline and keep for themselves without investing any of their ow…
The rich are getting too openly greedy and complacent again, they're slowly forgetting about history, can't wait to see how it pans out in the next decades. https://www.prosperosisle.org/spip.php?article1196

You can be sure they are getting paid off. It's sickening. In the past the wealthy families would fund building churches, hospitals, housing for poor. Nowadays' oligarchs aren't that kind.

If things ever get bad enough that the wealthy need underground nuclear bunkers, the underground nuclear bunkers aren't going to be enough to protect them.

> The ordinary people who did the electrical, plumbing, security, etc. know where you are, and no level of security will protect you from an angry mob with nothing to lose. Governments around the world already keep many locations/facilities secret and hidden from the public. They will simply arrest you, or worse, just kill you. What’s your solution to that?
Those cold war bunkers only had one purpose: to keep high ranking government and military peeps alive just long enough (up to 2 weeks or so) to make sure that mutual destruction is actually 'assured'. They were not meant as some sort of cradle of a new civilization or as a safe haven to survive a nuclear war (because there would be no place to return to anyway).

Yes. The whole bought media, party in-power, the opposition are against the protests and are trying to downplay them. Source: I live there. It's very easy to tell if you do.

(Or if you prefer because you are unable to compute that, the price is upfront $70,000 trillion (2025 prices) - cash only)
