OP learns freedom is for the rich.

[–] Serinus 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Kind of. This also hurts the rich, unless they're really want to pay for a theme park experience.

I don't care how rich you are, nobody is buying 44% of Washington state.

I mean, the government bought an area over 10x of Washington, so I wouldn't say nobody... Rich people have a way of wanting the dumbest, most useless purchases, so I wouldn't put it past them to at least try, even if the government told them it had to stay national park. Not that it'd be dumb for a government to buy that much land, but a person who would absolutely still be told what to do with the land.
