A multibillionaire acquaintance is in Africa right now, buying up land to put in trust so that greedy entrepreneurs won’t be able to spoil it.
I suppose the goal is turn the world into northern California, where only the rich can afford to live, surrounded by large tracts of land set aside (by the rich) to prevent the hot-polloi from infesting it.
The elites have been setting aside great gobs of land in the 50 states for themselves and their guests so they don’t have to see ruffians and commoners while they are enjoying the Outdoors.
