A couple of years ago I sent an email with this headline: "Rich Plan Underground Doomsday
Neighborhood."
The email included the following passage describing Trident Lakes, the neighborhood in question:
"Complete with off-grid energy and water production, homes in this $300 million underground community will enjoy retail shops, restaurants, a golf course, zip lines, and more.
"'We’ve evolved it into long-term sustainability instead of a survival community,' says the Trident Lakes CEO."
I sent the email so I could jokingly observe: most of us probably can't afford to move to Trident Lakes, so we'll have to make our own plans.
Well.
Trident Lakes was apparently a scam anyway.
I just read this:
"Trident Lakes in Ector was still being advertised as a 700-acre doomsday resort until federal agents went undercover to bust the developer who was allegedly using the resort to launder money for what he thought was a Colombian drug cartel."
"A dried-up fountain and one single steer are the only inhabitants of 700 empty acres in Ector.
So much for that.
However:
Because you're no longer going to be spending your time moving to Trident Lakes, you have all the more time to build your eCommerce store with Aidan Booth -- someone who, unlike the Trident Lakes CEO, is on the up and up.
But our online session on how it all works comes down tonight.
Don't say, "2020 is going to be my year," and then do everything the same way you did it in 2019.
Watch before the clock hits zero, so tomorrow won't be your own private doomsday:
