What a racket. 75k a year in nominations plus 50k per star. Bet more on licensing the name etc. A committee members probably gets paid more than I make in ten years for maybe a day sitting at a table per year.

You don't "earn" a star. You buy it. There is a committee who approves or denies the bid. They cost 50k+.

Reply to ELI5: why can't we use electricity to kill microorganisms in small amount of water ? by FreshT3ch
Killing the organisms in water by any means doesn't make it safe to drink. They dead corpses and other waste from them is still in the water and is just as dangerous to consume. That is why water needs to be actively filtered to be clean.

Reply to comment by boilerpl8 in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat
Thats how you launder it. You legit sell the dirt. But report it to the IRS as a cash sale of 80 million. Bam. Free and clear, baby.
