No problem, but you don't have to trust me. The fact that the ultra rich from around the world are moving to London is very well documented. I'll list some reasons anyway: I think we can agree that English is the lingua franca? Th

Yeah, but that's only because in 2021 everything is a deepfake. Even when it's just a normal fake relying on practical effects. It's cooler to blame a deepfake than a silicon mask or a fake beard.

Your friends probably aren't very rich :) For those with a 50MM+ net worth London is probably the most attractive place in the world, and it shows.

Depends on where in Europe. The really rich tend to congregate in a few places. A few million won't get you far in Courchevel, you'll still feel poor in Porto Cervo and be nobody at all in London.

Dior doesn't make their money from the overcoats. You'll have a hard time finding competitive handbags or sneakers outside of similar luxury brands.

Yeah, because all the rich people fled London and Switzerland, spending the first quarter of the year in Dubai, Maldives or Tulum. Of course sales are down when everyone who could afford it has been spending their time anywhere but Europe.

It's crazy that everyone here seems to blindly accept that this was actually a deepfake just because the news says so. Odds are this wasn't a deepfake.

With a PC-12 you'll burn around $300 per engine hour in fuel alone, hot section inspections will come up every 1750 hours or so and cost $50k each, the engine overhauls will come up every 3500 hours and cost $350k I wouldn't be sh

I think most commercial flights with these sorts of planes are sub 500nm, no? Think routes like ANU-SBH, TOB-MVY or MLE-Hotel. Where do you see frequent PC-12 ops requiring 500nm range?

Ezzocard has many. Exchange rates are bad, but it's a small price to pay for privacy. These guys must be making insane amounts of money, would love to build a competitor.

More basic things like robberies. It's nice to have the building security guy open the door of your car and walk you inside when you're carrying hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry on you. I don't live in a dangerous area
