The CEO of our company bought a fucking island. A motherfucking island, dude. We got a big fat 1% raise. Tell me how motivated I am. Tell me how fucking motivated I should be.

Fuck outta here

    When I think of things with little ROI, an island would be one of them. So at least there's that.

    Devil’s advocate: You can get an island for pretty cheap if you don’t care about amenities. Like, a chunk of inhospitable land on Lake Michigan that can only be accessed by Kayak during the warm months is in tech bro territory.

    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?
