When you rule only by bread and circuses, the show MUST go on, especially when the bread is dwindling.

During the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, all of the hotels for miles were booked out years in advance so there wasn’t any rooms for the security personnel being brought in.
The security planning committee solved this by renting a trio of cruise ships which they docked in Vancouver’s harbour. Given the cruise ship docks are in a seedier part of town, they fenced the port off to keep the various creatures of the night out. Even so, there were incidents but that’s not relevant to the point of my comment(s).
I was part of the security contingent and I ended up staying in a cruise ship cabin for just over 4 weeks… working rotating 12 hours shifts with an hour long commute at each end… By the time the main part of the Olympics were done and they asked for volunteers to remain to work the ParaOlympics that followed, I chose NOT to volunteer (even tho the money was tempting) because 4 weeks of cruise ship food and uncomfortable beds was enough.
A fancy prison isn’t much better than the usual prisoner.
Why spoil and polute Antarctica? There are all kinds of cruise ships looking for bookings. With all kinds of cameras and mikes positioned around would be a Great “reality” show on pay per view. If they didn’t kill each other before long, the crew would. (See Wayne M’s comment)
Remember during the Plandemic when they supposedly ran out of hospital rooms and morgue space, DJT ordered in hospital and cruise ship(s)…which never got used.
Proving two things: Trump is out of the box and off the wall eff’ing brilliant at not just suggesting but doing, solving problems immediately and decisively, and…
The evil consortium that ran that scam were caught full on lying about all their their hand-wringing control-seeking bullshit about the real conditions.
The ships sailed away unused, proof positive of the no-boundaries fear-mongering evil of the real puppet masters, whoever/whatever they may be.

Make Dems live with consequences of their policies. NYC is now going to be the test bed. Walls. No escape. Live it.

I am not a number; I am a free man.
Cruise ship food is usually an attraction. Who owned the ship — Cunard?

Eskimos in Antarctica?
Good luck with that.
Not to be confused with penguins.
Somewhat but not entirely unrelated tangent:
Cruise ships as “accomodations”…

It was Cuomo, to name names (something modern society has deliberately and obstinately fallen out of the habit of doing).
They made two sequels to The Prisoner, and they both were awful.
Stick with the original with Patrick McGoohan.
