I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize.
Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness.
Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding.
He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history.
The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future.
A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite.
That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

I am so hopping mad that twitter is limiting the visibility of this post.
Seriously, if you are seeing it, and you appreciate it, please repost it so other people can too.

@VintageRockN_85 Yes twice. First time the early 70’s Detroit, we had great seats. Some equipment exploded on stage. We thought it was part of the show. Then again mid 80’s in the nosebleed seats.

@drseanmullen @TheDrJon I had to leave two Mast Cell Activation Syndrome groups, that became controlled by anti-vaxxers. One I’ve been in since 2015. They now push the idea that the vaccine caused their syndrome, not believing they may have had a silent infection prior.
I mask, I vaccinate.

The second stupidest people on the planet are the ones who think the virus is “mild” now.
But the worst? Those who pretend vaccination alone is enough—and that catching this “mild” infection every few months is no big deal.
Collect ’em like baseball cards…one for every variant. Donruss, Fleer, Topps.
No need to mitigate. 🙃

@1goodtern So very presidential of him.

It's probably not the central point here, but that mask should go over his nose.

ReadiMask strapless N95s are a specialty item - an important tool for solving problems that other masks aren't working for.
ReadiMasks can help people who have sensory issues or pain from straps or earloops. They can be helpful for hair cuts or medical procedures where straps can get in the way. And they can be used for MRIs because they have no metal in them.
AFAIK all ReadiMasks are new old stock that was manufactured years ago with no expiration date. Some people have had problems getting them to stick well. Prepping with isopropyl alcohol or witch hazel can help.

Pricing as of 10/9/25. Pricing subject to change.
Only yellow ReadiMasks are available.
