Many billionaires live on a man made island ioff the coast of Florida?
I mean if they're all in one spot, I guess this makes things easier
They need more than a gated bridge to stop the floods they will endure.
Exactly what I was thinking.
It's inside the Miami metropolitan area.
Last cenus was in 2020, showing 41 homes and 84 people across 0.43 sq mi/1.11km^2^. It is sometimes referred to as "Billionaire bunker", because it's a gated community on an island, and the one bridge in and out has a police checkpoint, it also apparently has its own government and law enforcement. If you try to get close by water, a police boat shows up.
I wonder how they deal with drones.
I would imagine they might be a bit paranoid about them.
ever see a drone light show? you literally can't see the whole swarm of them until the lights are on.
on an unrelated note, an electronically actuated ghost gun wouldn't need to have a conventional shape and wouldn't need a bunch of conventional parts.
You can do a lot with electricity, the right materials, and the right delivery mechanism.
What floods? This has been public knowledge for time. You gonna do it? Or is this just wishful thinking
