NSG Senate Lobby: Bread, Circuses and Automatic Weapons

[The Ministry of Defence]

This is my point! Who's stupid enough to invest in him? All his money apparently goes towards private jets and military grade security (which makes you wonder where the profits even come from) and he's being prosecuted and having his assets seized? Who in their right mind looks at that and declares it a safe choice worthy of investing? It is a puerile power fantasy based solely off imagination, and there is no correlation whatsoever to the world we all identify as reality.

China or Argentina to own a piece of Aurentina.

That doesn't even make sense.....

Argentina owns a large toll road that runs from Chicago to southern Illinois.

Not even.

[Costa Fierro]

That is the upper max estimate, though it would be more of a maximum of $1 trillion, now that I was able to narrow down the numbers. Also, it will take a while to complete.

Yeah forever as you have no money and no investors.

Not to mention the presence of well established rail lines.

Argentina owns a large toll road that runs from Chicago to southern Illinois.

Ah. So, because they have a toll road in Illinois, they feel comfortable making dumb investments? And providing 10 trillion dollars for a project that could never, ever, pay itself back for hundreds of years? They decided that was a good idea? Oh, and despite the fact that they could run airplanes nonstop to all your destinations for a century before even coming near your ballpark figure, they decided to invest in a train tunnel that runs under the ocean?

Actually the new estimate was a maximum of $1 trillion, if even that.

Hold on!!! They might just have that down the back of the sofa!!!!

If the US (and several other governments) can get that much, why not a private project?

[The Ministry of Defence]

Is this the logic you function off of on a daily basis, senator?

[Costa Fierro]

If the US (and several other governments) can get that much, why not a private project?

Because you don't have more money that the ten richest people combined?

Who said that I would be the only one to fund it?

Considering your train costs 725,866,711,805.11 euros, which is 1tn USD, and that it makes a yearly profit of €56.8 million, which is that of Eurotunnel, which operates the Channel rail link, it will take you 12779.343517695598591549295774648 years to repay the cost of the tunnel.

Good luck.

[The Ministry of Defence]

Who said that I would be the only one to fund it?

A basic understanding of the mid of a rational and sane human being?

[Costa Fierro]

Who said that I would be the only one to fund it?

Because it's your idea? Because no one else has said they would?

This and Drago do we have to go around in circles?

He uses circular logic, so it would appear inevitable.

How do you make money?
Because I have so many investors.
How do you have so many investors?
Because I make so much money.

Every now and then he adds another step, but the result is the same.

Good luck.

I always invest millenia in the future. Keeps me ahead of the game.

Plus, I feel like trains are going to be really popular in 14792 CE.

So at ten trillion we were talking 120,000 years!!

Man your so far ahead of the curve it has not even been invented yet. No wonder small timers like The Aurentine Maglev Company have no hope. We are investing for a return in 10-15 years. We obviously are not thinking long-term enough.

[Commonwealth Air Force]

Anyone know what company produces American MREs? I'm trying to file a MoD requisition form, but I'm stumped on that question.

Don't get cheeky with us! This is a serious issue in your roleplaying.
