Why not? Not to be rich and famous like a movie star or to be rich and infamous like you-know-who, who-is-about-to-go-to-prison-(hopefully) for the rest of his ¿natural life? To be rich and no one knows who you are? - Yeah, I could go for that. Finally move to Switzerland. Not bad. Become a philanthropist . Those people - close to homeless - forced to leave a condemned hotel - https://carsonnow.org/story/04/14/2021/carson-city-shuts-down-frontier-motel-north-carson-occupants-be-vacated-thursday - I've heard most of them have found temporary shelter, but to be able to shut down these shitty places and provide shelter and drug rehab. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

This is a small city. You can climb any of the nearby hills or the Sierras and see it in its entirety spreading out across the high desert valley.

I'd buy it. Build a(n invisible) wall to keep out the flood of Californians pouring in like smoke from their wildfires. I'd make the official language Washo, invoke a seven year building moratorium, - no more fuckin' cookie-cutter developments - start green businesses in the empty industrial buildings.

Yeah, I could be rich - géwe t'ánuŋa t'iʔwé:s k'éʔi
