How to fund

- Several Doers purchase the land together and each give a part of their acreage to Disorient in exchange of $DISORIENT tokens
- During Camp Cell's 20240709 Zoom call Amber mentions that moving the DKitchen from Oregon to BRC costs $4000 every year. If the Kitchen was closer to BRC during the other 50 weeks parts of this expense could be used to pay for a mortgage.
