    I live near an area where they go to vacation. Multimillion dollar literal mansions with separate housing for their pools/guests, on huge properties and they literally have people they pay to live in the house because they only actually use it 2-3 weeks a year...

    Friend of mine has that gig, lives in some rich guys woods compound through the winter. Except he's pretty much cut off from society outside the Internet, starlink has been a huge blessing up there. Place is a 4 hour snowmobile ride from the nearest gas station.
