I mean, say what you will about these newly-found billionaires, but one thing is for sure: they aren't helping anyone except themselves. They get a bunch of money dumped into their lap from thin air (literally), and the first thing they do is go to a place that was just leveled by natural disaster and with a shattered economy, and buy up cheap land for their own personal playground.
I mean. Wow. Tone deaf doesn't begin to describe it.
