Why would he buy the beach in the first place if he doesn't even want it and has never been there? The town is by all accounts abandoned and he's trying to keep people out so it's not like he saw a business opportunity

if someone offers you the opportunity to buy an entire beach town for 0.1% of your net worth, you take it

i certainly would. even if i had no specific plan for it. that's just a cool opportunity.

Sagebrush posted:

Like, even if he just bought it to speculate on real estate it still doesn't really make sense that he'd keep people out. the value goes up if it becomes a desirable spot lots of people like to go

when he bought it, he closed the convenience store or whatever it was in the village. which meant there was no one to collect the $2 fee for parking

this of course pissed off the locals, and the state informed khosla that he would have to apply for a permit to block the beach access, or else maintain the status quo

this enraged the billionaire and now he is literally going to the supreme court to defend his right to block a parking lot he doesn't care about on a beach he has never been to

hypothetically, would it have been legal for him to do the national park thing where you just put your camping fee into an envelope and drop it in a box at the gate and some ranger collects it a few days later maybe?

pretty sure that would be fine since the issue is him cutting off beach access entirely. he locked the gate and hired security to keep people out.

if you read the article he says he totally respects the California constitution’s right to public beaches, as long as the people on the beach don’t cross his land (the only way besides by boat) to get there lol

why would that not be legal

california law doesn't require you have any particular way to pay for parking, if anything they encourage making free spots available near beach entranceways.

the gated road to martin's beach is right off highway 1, you can just park on the side of the highway (there is a dirt area) and walk around the gate down to the beach. i've done this several times, nobody will stop you

amazon, the company and it's assets, are not worth one trillion bux. amazon, the bubbly investor stock, is. its kind of semantic and dumb but its worth that because we're in a post-capitalism hellscape where finance is not seeking out more money via actual company investments but seeking out more money by buying stock on the premise that other financiers will want to buy it at higher price and so on and so on. stocks are just beanie babies for the rich

you can also thank the feds for piss poor monetary policy that is used to ensure ultra rich never lose anything at the expense of everyone else

to put it another way, if AAPL had AMZN’s P/E ratio, it would be worth $10T instead of $1.1T
