    We’re not necessarily talking about tiny, shitty islands here. For example, the founder of Oracle bought 98% of Lana’i, Hawaii.

    It really is inequality run amok.

      The question is, how much can they truly defend?

      Sure, a few derps they already pay would stay and defend them, but how many are we really talking? How many will stand against the turning tide of just and equitable voices?

        Having an 8-mile-wide moat separating it from the next closest Hawaiian island (let alone North America or Asia) is a pretty good start, unfortunately.
