It's sad that the norm is to expect those in power will try to ruin lives as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just why... They have billions of dollars already... Why
Because they're in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don't have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It's just a pissing contest and unfortunately they're really careless
To billionaires money is just like a high score in an arcade cabinet. And they're also evil.
I ask myself the same question. It feels like such an empty life. More and more money that they would need many lifetimes to be able to spend, which will be worth absolutely useless if and when they end up fucking up the whole world. It doesn't make sense at all. Yes, it's nice to have money to buy whatever you want, I won't argue that, but come on. At this point I'm leaning towards them just having so much fucking ego that they can't stop anymore. If anyone has another possible explanation, I'd really like to know.
Infrastructure still has real-world costs.
I have a suspicion they put the gas turbines near those communities specifically to fuck with them the same way they bulldozed poor neighborhoods for roads
Well they probably are poor and thus have less means to defend themselves.
"black communities" ...say no more, they're fuckin' SOL...
in one of the most racist state missisipi.
Mississippi black communities, not only are they SOL they're about to be raided by local law enforcement.
I work in emissions monitoring and this is super illegal.
Its only illegal if someone prosecutes them. That isn't going to happen before the purge.
Specifically which part is illegal? Is it lack of planning permission? Is it an environmental law? Etc.
Since when has illegality stopped ~~parasites~~ rich people?

people did that work, just because elon musk tells people what to do doesn't mean those people should be exonerated from the consequences as well. the people doing the work sure as shit falls out there ass, know there was no permit. if there no permit, then why not a great fire ball in the night sky.
I agree, Elon is not at fault here. All he did was finance it with enough money to convince people to ignore the law.

This makes me wonder what would happen if one would pour glass dust in the air intake of thos generators.
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.
I think the great stuff would do more damage then the M80, and would result in probably one less charge.
Is the m80 not to just make the great stuff leave the can?
I mean I assume the great stuff would leave the can after you huck it into the turbine, but if you're worried it won't be punctured, you could just duct tape down the trigger on the can before you huck it.
You might be right, maybe not. Let's find out!
Implies they care about anyone in Mississippi.
