What in the actual fuck did I just read? The supreme court needs to be expanded and a strict code of involuntary ethics applied immediately. It sounds like the backers bought the entire lodge just to make this trip happen, as they sold it within a year after the trip? I'm not sure I'm getting that right. This country is so fucked.
