The president is offering green cards in return for investments of US$5 million
The scheme – under which people who invest US$5 million in the United States will be given permanent residency
I think this is pretty based and it makes perfect sense to make US citizenship a matter of investment as the person proves themselves an economic net positive to the US economy by investing the 5 million.
With 5 million USD per person, you could easily make a billion dollars every year with just 200 purchases. Or a 100 billion USD per year with 20,000 purchases. Or a Trillion USD per year with 200,000 purchases.
It's a new direction for the economy to grow and adds economic complexity without any downsides, as any person investing 5 million USD into the US would naturally end up being a net positive to the US society.
Conclusion:
Best move so far by the Trump administration to further grow the US economy year on year.
What do you guys think? Genius or heavily r-slurred? Why?

lol. Subscription citizenship. You can be a citizen of the USA for as low as 1,000 USD per month, with it becoming permanent after 30 years time without requiring any further payments.

Privilege of being American. If you get shot in any other place on the planet, it means America has to invade. Best security on the planet.

I'm baffled as to why the US and other European countries don't already have this.

Some of the European countries used to until the European Union said "NO FUN ALLOWED" and shut it down.
As for the US, I too have no idea. It makes sense to have something like this once you are rich enough.

Yes I am a female g*mer, yes I even like Zelda. What a surprise (after I even gave him personal bonus points for wearing a Zelda Shirt). No, a g*mer shirt is not "a handicap". Yes, when you think wearing a Zelda shirt equals "dating a minor" then you are the problem, not the shirt. Nope, I don't think the "majority of women will see it as a turn off". Yes, when all women you know act negatively around people wearing g*mer shirts and degrade others for having that hobby you have a pretty bad and in my opinion immature social environment to be honest. Nope, you don't have to be a "nerd" or g*mer in order to accept and/or respect other people's hobbies. I think I got all covered now.
