Jared Kushner went on a trip on a Rotschild (yes that one) mega yacht diving around Europe. Then the Albanian prime minister came to their boat and promised to sell them a massive island for a low price (in exchange for political support or bribes from daddy Trump most likely). Shortly after the boat visit the Albanian government privatized the island and sold it to Jared.

    I thought the Albania prime minister was an AI hologram?

    Still, this is fucking bullshit. Do people live on the island? Any cultural heritage sites? It's bullshit either way, but that would make it so much worse.

    It's a former Soviet military base and had been closed off for its ecosystem.

    How symbolic.

    It's fucked up that they're going to destroy the preserved ecosystem, but not that surprising honestly. I'm so burnt out and disillusioned that nothing really surprises me anymore...
