The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They make sure that Hamas is gone from there by simply removing everyone. They then make sweetheart deals with the trump family to develop the region into a luxury resort area, where it becomes another playground for the ultra wealthy.

There's no way to "simply remove everyone." We're talking about two million people. Where would they go? Qatar isn't going to get Jordan or Egypt or Saudi Arabia to take them in, and the US and EU are closed to that kind of migration.

It wouldn't be surprising if whatever little of value remains there got divided up by the new ruling powers, a la the Cuba cake in the Godfather - but most of the strip is going to still be occupied by the desperately impovershed Gazan population.
