That aircraft will have so many bugs hidden, the Qataris will know every time Orange Foolius cracks a fart.

There are so many things that piss me off about rich people and unused luxuries are at the top of the list.
There was another story about a $10 million house no one wanted to buy because it was 'out of style.'
Empty apartments, rooms full of clothes that were never worn, all kinds of things...
The problem with $10 million homes is that people who buy them can afford to build their own $10 million homes. Because of that, they are worth less than people think.
The story I heard was that at least two people went broke trying to build a super mansion on 10 acres of prime beach front property. The final guy swooped in and brought the half made house so he could resell the land in smaller lots. He got the castle demolished for free by making a deal with a Hollywood studio. The blew the house up for him to make the climax of an action movie. Bad Boys 2 iirc
I thought the price was usually more about the land.
But imagine a $10million house with an off-white marble kitchen bench top and a khaki splash back. OMG! May as well be a medieval castle! It might even have matt black bathroom fittings! Hello? Was this house on Divine Design?
That's what happened. The house was designed a few years aback and now no one wants it. God forbid we let homeless folks live there...
What happens when all the poor people die off, and the rich are just left with their relative wealth to one another trying to understand what wealth actually means in the absence of poverty

The Naked Sun.
Classic sci-fi about an Earth detective sent to solve a crime on a planet where all the humans live in private mansions with thousands of robot servants.
Oh yeah, one of the more memorable ones. Asimov was eerily prescient with his descriptions of videocalls, though I cant wait for background blending to happen.
And yeah, I hear you. Planet of mostly robots, populated by 5 people.
They don't want or need all of us to live. King-shit 101, baby.
Only a few real players left on this monopoly board, how's that game usually end?
Someone flipping the board
That's why they have autonation for that. Who needs the plebs if they just murder all of us with their Terminators.
He's literally excited over a second-hand plane. What a poor person thing to do. Truly the most Salvation Army of Presidents.
Didn't even bother to build his own White House. Just got it as-is from the previous tenant !
Can you imagine if he did?
"We're going to build a new beautiful house. Trump house is what we are calling it. Yeah the Trump house will be grand"
And there is the motive. I did not guess it was a used car salesman.
slaps the roof this baby can fit so many fucking Trumps in it
Doesn’t matter, it’s still unconstitutional and unethical for him to take it.
Articles like this seem to be “bribewashing”. Also articles that pretend the plane is going to be used as Air Force One.
The US construction doesn't spell out 747 specifically so its ok
How funny. The Orange Turds takes their trash as a bribe.
I got a 09 Saturn he can have, if he fucks off...
I hope it’s not the V6, those had crap transmissions behind them.
Shush, don't tell him.
White Elephant
... or a subtle way to tell him to go fuck himself?
"Trump Desires Qatar's Garbage"
Lol please accept this bribe of this bugged and hole-ridden old family RV
