For one thing, the island does not grow much food, which means it has to import 90 percent of what it needs to sustain its very small population.
It's okay.
We'll just keep importing it.
Yeah.
It also has very little freshwater and most of its infrastructure is on the coast and vulnerable to both rising sea levels and hurricanes.
It is very close to the bottom of places that you would want to have as a shelter.
So very funny.
All these people are silly.
Now.
Jamie, the main reason current FTX is revealing all this is that they are suing the old management of the country, a company, i.e.
Sam, to try and reclaim a billion or so dollars they argue was funneled illegally into nonsense like this and into the pockets of Bankman Freed and his lieutenants in the months before FTX collapsed due to insolvency.
The lawsuit against Sam also includes some more confounding lines described in this paragraph from an article on the suit by crypto news site Decrypt.
The lawsuit further says that the projects run by the FTX Foundation were frequently misguided and sometimes dystopian.
These included a $300,000 grant to an individual to write a book about how to figure out what humans' utility function are, as well as a $400,000 grant to an entity that posted YouTube videos related to rationalist and effective altruism material, including videos on grabby aliens.
Now, does that all seem like nonsense to you, Jamie?
Don't worry.
I'm going to explain all of this horse shit to you.
Oh, my God.
It is some Rick and Morty ass nonsense.
It's much dumber than anything in Rick and Morty, because at least some of the people there understand story structure.
