A shirt is different because it's not a necessity. But escaping inceldom and having close friends near by is a necessity. I bet it won't take more than two years to collect all the people who will contribute if we took this seriously.
Most people here don’t even have jobs and aren’t inclined to get one just for a shot in the dark. The plan has too many variables that have gone unnoticed and anyone capable of logical thought could see the trainwreck months before the money would even be collected
We'll hunt for the best prices when we're close to having enough people planning on going.
There’s more to consider than just price
These things can easily be learned and settled with 1000+ people working on it.
If that were the case this would’ve been done many times just within the last 10 years alone
They have to take a plane then a boat. If they can afford the initial cost then they can afford the trip to get there.
I highly doubt that people could afford to pay for an island, a ride on a private plane, a ride on a private passenger ship, laborers, and hunters
We have extra money to buy them boat tickets to meet us on the island and camp out after they finish working. Everyone who wants to build a house has to pay for their own workers or build it themselves.
None of us has that kind of money and nobody on .co will ever build a house with their bare hands. Also JFL, if you think construction workers from SEA are just going to drop everything to go live in a tent on some random island while building a house
We find out from the realtor if it's hostile or not, and since everyone paid the same contribution they get the same size of land, unless they contributed more. The building of the house won't cost a lot more because we'll hire workers to build for us from near by third world countries.
We'll have to either get this money and save it from wagecucking, or our parents, or neetbux.
Even if such services were affordable and everything ran smoothly in terms of getting them on the island, how do you really think an individual can afford to have an entire house built. Nevermind the fact that the laborers need food and shelter of their own, how would they build the house. They need suitable material, tools, transport vehicles, heavy machinery, and a way to clear out all of the trees simply to put down the foundation
We can hire people to cut down trees and ship the beasts to a different island or send them to zoos. For the insects we'll just need an exterminator. But if we find a good deal on land with out those things then we'll take that instead.
We'll hire hunters to explore the island with us if needed. But the realtor shouldn't give us an island filled with lions and bears.
It would be cheaper just to find a clear island rather than inflate the already bloated budget with more costs linked to personnel
We can pay nurses from near by third world countries to bring all those things, or order them online, and they can work at the island clinic in exchange for a free place to stay and some money.
You’re everyday nurse isn’t going to foot the bill and neither they nor us have the money or connections to buy the supplies that we need especially in bulk. On the topic of money is that clinic just going to be materialize out of thin air or are the miracle working dollar store laborers handling that as well. Switching to staff, why would anyone leave their country to work on an undeveloped island for virgins
Out of 1000+ people there probably are. I can watch a few youtube videos and learn to farm if I wanted.
We have 250 active posters at most and from what I’ve gathered 90% of them haven’t spent a week in an urban area
They can be bought online. Everyone should have their own filtration system outside of their homes. There won't be one huge filter that filters everyone's water. The small ones that hold over 5 gallons can be bought online for less that 300 and set up easily.
Easily installed where, the dirt? We need a sizable source of water within close proximity to the settlement. That rules out using the sea water since we can’t build on the beaches
Hd 4k surveillance cameras can be bought for $30 each these days. The footage will be deleted everyday if no one makes a complaint, so it can save space. This should be one of the assigned jobs people have on the island who take care of the footage. I don't know exactly who, but some people will take that role, it's not even hard.
You’d be hard pressed to find an 480p camera for less than $50 where did you get $30 from. Even if that statement were true, where would they be installed, who would maintain them, and where is this electricity coming from? Where does the communication center fit into all of this if you even considered it? By my calculations that’s at least 257major projects at minimum that need to be done
We'd have boats on deck and internet and electricity installed. If all those get wiped out we'd keep in contact daily with a near by country to let them know how we're doing and to send help if we don't respond to them for a day.
So now where adding a fleet, captains, mechanics, coders, software engineer, and electrical engineers to the project, and that’s just the direct result of having these things. The budget is now well into the hundred millions and rising at this point
We don't need banks because we can use crypto, gold, and cash. We can order things online and take our boats to the nearest neighboring country to pick up the items. We can acquire money by making videos about the island that trigger cucktears and get more supporters, and renting out homes to people who want to come on vacation.
All of this requires capital (which we certianlynwouldnt have by this point) not to mention an actual reason to posses money aside from survival. The island has no industry or exports, these are needed to maintain an economy. In regards to renting out the place for supporters there’s an entirely new set of issues that comes with this
