There are quite a few tripoints in the world, where three countries come together to meet at a single location. Only at one point on Earth do four countries meet; Kazangula, on the Zambezi river (Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia). But, there’s a big catch.

Abdullah Ibrahim was a difficult man to interview. He spoke in parable. In metaphor. In metaphysics. You could not pin him down. I later found he was a very difficult. Period. The first time I bumped into him walking anonymously on Plein street circa 2003 he literally growled.
The best rapper by a mile is a 50 year old who raps about street shit and getting fly, miss me with the growth and maturing bullshit lmao. Save that for your personal life and your loved ones, I'm trying to hear rappers rap well.
For the final mix now we're going right back, 37 years:
This is Jon Da Silva @ The Hacienda, Manchester 15.12.89
An absolutely classic mix at a legendary venue. Some early house, dance, and even The Stone Roses in this. Seminal. Sasha claimed Jon was a great influence on him in those formative years. Tracklist in comments.

The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.
And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

The Norwegian example is illustrative. In the last few years, our wealth tax received massive media attention, described by media outlets as leading to an "exodus" of the wealthy.
But only ~1.7% of the ultra-wealthy actually left. Tax revenue boomed
