  • Che isn’t his name it’s a nickname. I think they’re using quotation in the sense of naming convention Ernesto “Che” Guevara would normally be used to denote it is a nick name and not part of his legal name.

I would specifically buy that specific theatre if able and renovate it which could easily cost 100s of millions for a variety of venues ide like to operate

    I have many ideas. Many of them I think would be valuable additions to the places they are and not just blood sucking wealth generators.

    I think the world leadership struggles to plan for more than 5 years at a time and even then not much. Change takes time, we need to start thinking long term 25 50 100 100+ year thinking if we want to benefit those that come after us, which .
