    Just seems like it would be yet another inflationary policy, a bunch of people demanding goods and services. Esp if they were more oligarch class than entrepreneur class. Entrepreneurs on the other hand create value. Their “toll” should be $0.

    Yeah, these people will largely just buy property, avoid taxes and become rent seekers

    Like retirees in FL or Arizona.

    They do at least create demand for certain things I guess. Like… a ridiculous amount of healthcare jobs exist in FL because of the need to service seniors. Of course a lot of that is paid or at least subsidized by the federal govt through Medicare.

    They are getting pretty cocky if they move to the place where everyone can get a gun

    There was already no confusion. Unfortunately at least 30% of the country thinks just like this, whether they publicly state it or not. Well at least it isn’t 90%, like it was 60 years ago when my father could not go school with white kids until his senior year.

    And even liberals try to pretend this was a long time ago. My father lived during Jim Crow and my son hasn’t even started kindergarten yet. We are not as advanced as you think.

    There's a reason Tad and Chad would never accept him into "the club" at boarding school. And, yes, they totally mocked him for this very reason.

    $5 mil to get in, then there would be the annual renewal fee and certificate with Trump's mugshot and signature on it, suitable for framing.

    Some of you need to come to terms and mature with your liberal hate.

    You can hate the libs, AND you can also hate the stupidity of this current administration.

    You can hate BOTH UGA and F$U

    Hope they move to the Mar a Lago area. The Palm Beach people would like it I’m sure.

    Why just 5 million? Pocket change for a Russian oligarch.

    Republicans: "Illegal Immigrants are skipping the line, and that's not right"
    Also Republicans: "But what if we monetized that ..."

    I was kind of wondering about the sports angle here. Its really not all that hard to get a visa / green card if you are a pro athlete though. Perhaps people would be willing to expedite the process? Or get citizenship for national teams (though other countries have tried this and rules have changed). The main obstacle with Klavzar was more that he played in a pro league prior to NCAA basketball.
