Looked at Dspam’s status to clear out my spam quarantine from overnight...  I call your attention to the highlighted message.

Duuuuuude!  At the current exchange rate (£1 = $1.416), I make that a hair over 52.05 trillion dollars.  That’d wipe out the national debt at a stroke.

I’m’a gonna forward this to the White House!

If I thought for one second the money really existed, I'd be buying my own island somewhere, declaring sovereignty, and opening applications for citizenship.

Are those restrictions legal on your sovereign island nation?

Fortunately, the issue is moot.
Unfortunately, it's because I lack a sovereign island nation..... ;)
