Third world hellholes are cheaper to operate out of... they should move.

That’s a perfect spot for the Trump Presidential Library.

I’m surprised the topic of relocating hasn’t come up. If they were in some city like Prague....they could trim their budget by 50-percent compared against NY City.

They have three other major office locations: Geneva, Vienna and (my favorite), Nairobi. Let the UN crowd in New York draw straws to see where they'll be moving.

From what I’ve read it needs bulldozed. Butt I would not mind in the least if the well were to run dry. And NO bailout by us/US either. EVER!

BTW, what happened to that billion dollars Ted Turner gave them?

It's very costly to outfit a proper volcano lair, you know.
