The piracy community was unblocked quite soon after

A lot of the money is probably sunk into ecological surveys, permits, bureaucracy overall

Buried highways would be insanely expensive, and in the case of invasion, one well placed shot would completely kill logistics for the defenders as much as it would for the invaders, so probably not the best idea to rely on those

They’re a public company, they’re required by law to share financial info.

Do you perhaps have better data though?

There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let’s say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.
