Its only illegal if someone prosecutes them. That isn't going to happen before the purge.

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

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.

At some point participation is complicity but unless we make it hostile to work with, for, or in the interests of these inhuman monsters, people won't know not to. Labour is not in a position to know what work is illegal or not.

Working for the wealthy needs to be seen as a threat against society. It's deeply anti-social. We have no way to differentiate them in their range of evil, and they made it impossible to find out. So at some point, to protect the working, poor and middle classes, if you're wealthy, you're a threat. Don't want to be treated as a threat? Give up your wealth and join the peasantry. We need to police our own to protect ourselves from the threat of wealth.

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

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.

People like this would be shot. People would group together and hire gunmen to get rid of criminals in the old west.

Of course their security was just a few body guards and that's it. Nobody was living in high tech buildings separate from everyone else.

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

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.

keeps treating regulations like optional DLC

He, like any shillionaire, sees people as NPCs.

That's why he was so enthusiastic to kill infants, children, teens and adults by cutting USAID.

If he's ever admitted to a hospital, I genuinely hope that he's left to suffer and rot.

Shoot him into space on one of his or Bezos' rockets. Watch him explode as a result of the very thing he tried to accomplish.

As Trump is learning with Iran, if you make enemies by the millions, you risk awakening a plumber.

Or at least sabotage the facility?
