You got to appreciate these billionaires for grouping up like that and saving us all the time hunting them down individually.

you really think they are going to party and have fun in giant apartments complexes?

these are for the takeover...you work for them, get housing in lieu of pay. when they stop needing you, you're evicted and forced to the outside world.
