after listening to that video. How do these idiots become billionaires while being so stupid. But I guess it doesn't matter as long as they get their shiny object.

and I'll tell you why he wants it in the middle of nowhere in a desert, it's to keep riffraff like us out of his city. Oh, we'll be allowed to drive 2 hours or so to get there so we can work in the stores and restaurants and pick up the trash and maintain all the unseen crap that keeps the city going, then drive 2 hours at night to get home, but we won't be allowed to live there. Diversity to billionaires means a few black and brown people who have money will be allowed to live there.

I agree that these loons should just move to Dubai to see what a billionaire's Utopia really looks like, a desert Disneyland for adults that relies heavily on de facto indentured servitude and without silly frills like waste treatment plants. They'd be happy there, dreaming their dreams of a sustainable Galt's Gulch that's far away from the rest of us, AI and robots taking over the work now done by poor people from SE Asia.

Will the teleportation units be in every living unit, or at each street corner? Would affect price.
