A chinese imported product, where people lived and
died on "Junks" without dirting their feet.
Super, trade a few million in commodities via email,
then make more at the casino, then for an evening
visit a clothing optional place. ...dreamy.

Hopefully a hand-sanitizer in every room.

There is a group that is potentially building a city of 30K people on a very
large barge type boat where people would pay a fairly reasonable price for
house type square footage. The idea was that it would circle the world
every year or two and stop at a lot of ports along the way.
It would be so long that it would have an airport on top for commercial size
aircraft and of course boats for going to shore. You would not be captive
on the boat since you could fly off on business trips and other travel.
This was being pushed by somebody that had the experience and money to make
it happen. I don't know if something is still happening or the idea died.
Could be an interesting way to live.

That idea was being put together by an engineer in Tampa, FL a few years
ago.
I saw it on TV and they had a website as well.
Can't remember the name of it, something like, World Cruise or something.
Don't know what ever became of it.
Seems the *motorized barge* was several thousand feet long and had a landing
strip on top of the whole thing.
