belize is beautiful and has great scuba diving but it’s corrupt as hell and full of the worst boomer american/canadian retirees imaginable living the touristy parts as well as a mecca for general fuckups and rejects that need an english speaking country to flee to because they can’t handle mexico there’s a reason why john mcafee was there

bob dobbs is dead posted:belize has an extradition treaty. the nicest countries that dont are vietnam, indonesia, taiwan, some euro microstates, emirates and kuwait, but shes high profile enough that they might send a diplomat to ask for her and prolly any of em would give her up. you need active hostility, so prolly more like prc or russia out of all of these, indonesia always seemed to me to be the best option. but realistically, if you're a rich white lady, you're going to go to bali or somewhere on java where it's way too easy for non-corrupt authorities to get you, in a high profile case. there's zero chance holmes would survive life somewhere in the jungles of borneo or sumatra where a small bribe makes the local cops forget they've even ever seen a white person same with uae and kuwait. dubai and abu dhabi are the only places she'd be caught dead, and it's not like she could blend in in one of the lower tier emirates because she'll absolutely refuse to wear an abaya the best option would be the serb majority part of kosovo, where kosovar authorities aren't really in control. but if you're willing to do that, you might as well sell your soul to putin and live in luxury in st petersburg

remember a few years back when amazon had that open contest for cities to bid to become their second headquarters, and every city in the us made a beeline for jeff bezoss boots and began licking them? and then amazon picked virginia for hq2? well... https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1631678615283720200 weirdly there is no mention of amazon "pausing" all of the tax abatements and subsidies it was granted in exchange for locating hq2 in virginia

tangentially related to tech bubble, there are too many funko pops so they’re skipping the collector step and putting them directly in the landfill: https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1632441427698253832?s=20
