in one of the most racist state missisipi.

Since when has illegality stopped ~~parasites~~ rich people?

While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.

They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply

Prolly get filtered out. I was thinking cans of expanding foam (ie, "great stuff) with an m80 duct taped to it. Light it up, chuck it in.

Yea I’m not sure why this isn’t the normal way to think. The logic of “they are just doing a job and getting theirs” doesn’t hold up for everything so where is the line for these people?

Oh shucks i see you’ve signed up to drag me to the death camp! Not your fault! You’re just getting yours! Now let me be polite and handcuff myself!

We need to be more serious.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it's a contractor's job to get the permits. Is it not?

Not removing blame from Elon. Just smearing the blame around cause all those fucks are responsible

Expendable for ~~progress~~ profits.

There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.

It's really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it's enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.

It's still punishable by death! Not legally, officially, but very much in reality!

Vietnam would have had him executed by now

No, but Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will win hella Oscars playing the plucky white women who "take them down."

training wheels of justice

My city finally got a court order against a billionaire for unpermitted building that allows us to bulldoze his house. Just took 7 years in court to get the ruling...

And instead of bulldozing the house, we were able to use the court order to strongarm them into fixing their site so it no longer damages the environment, their neighbors, or city infrastructure.

The upside for the city there (aside from having to bid out and manage a major project in-house) is that we get a lot more tax revenue from a house that is brought into compliance than a scarred, demolished site.

Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.

Don't worry, it's only affecting a poor area. No billionairs are affected.

Or at least sabotage the facility?
