I'm thinking I'd buy a few thousand acres of dirt and start a capitalist commune out in flyover.us. Maybe pick up some little Kansas town that Brownback bankrupted too. Buy up a few dozen houses and rehab them for efficiency, put in some fiber to the front door, sell them to hip-doomster-coders with a deeded permanent membership at the farm co-op and coffee shop.
Or maybe just hookers and dope.
dunno

I don't think I'm all that unusual.

Don't go changing yourself, just hire some goons to keep the riff-raff away.
My goons will be an all-female ninja squad.
