Here we go again with techbros trying to build their freedom pods in some new, simple and innovative way, far away from the pesky government, only to inevitably find out that it doesn't work this time either, because a) the government exists in Greenland too, and b) they massively overestimated their ability to innovate their way out of the massively underestimated conditions of the environment they tried to build their stupid city in.
