He’ll probably invest his remaining billions in developing a way to thwart adblockers next. It will be as successful as everything else he has done in relation to twitter.

Ahhh it’s a lot easier to learn through immersion if you live there ;)

(A Brit who has lived in two other countries). I’m well aware of the resources on the internet. I’m also aware of the fact that this issue with the signs has bugger all to do with language barrier and everything to do with the people visiting being ignorant and inconsiderate tourists.
