No, HP. My first job out of college was at that site. It was mostly just offices, but they had an IC fab there in the 80s, and apparently there was some soil contamination. There’s probably many similar situations throughout the South Bay. It’s not like it was a nuclear waste dump or something.

They should be forced to use the money to pay for our internet. Why do I pay $80.00 per month so they can make money hand over fist?

Just like Rupert Murdock said recently. It's not about blue or red. It's about the green. Scam advertisers still have to pay money.

Redditors, or sock puppets from said companies doing damage control?

You beat me to it. Is my heart supposed to bleed for him?
For all his unfettered greed he deserves much worse. He'll be fine, as always.

So this campus was built and designed for something that everyone figured out how to do from home? All these companies also became hyper efficient, and had way to high of a head count for a long time?
I've heard people talk about affordable housing, but what would the jobs be if all the jobs were at the campus? If these jobs can be done remotely, why would anyone pay for a higher cost of living employee? Just because a person costs more, doesn't mean they are the best choice.

Did Detroit ever figure it out?

Why not use solar and batteries? There are no clouds to block the sun, the days are two weeks long and it shines on the whole moon so that if you needed to, you could run on batteries for extra power as needed. Otherwise, do like we do on earth: run a cable from the power source, a solar array to where ever you need the power. And since it doesn't rain, and there is no wind, you will never need to clean the solar panels. Well, maybe once every millennium, but that's all the maintenance you'll ever have to do. Cheap at twice the price.

The system shouldn't be so easy to collapse then. Wait until you see what people do next to collapse the economy. Hint: drones. Don't worry, it's just growing pains for a better world, this economy doesn't deserve to exist anymore.

a lot of formerly toxic sites are built different. instead of developer building and selling or leasing 5-10 years, they build and lease for long term 25+ years so any issues with the toxicity are pre negotiated with the developer, builder, tenant. and everyone is covered financially so if actually toxic in year 26, developer can walk away risk free
edit: this is going on in philly right now with hillco developers on former gas facility that closed after explosions

Its a crime against humanity that capital gains are not taxed as much as income. Doing that would singlehandedly fix a lot of wealth inequality.

Can't we finally just have a racially diverse selection of billionaires to exploit and fuck the rest of us!?
Black, white, whatever, the ruling class is the real enemy and we need to wake the fuck up and band together to take them off their thrones.

He may have not been killed specifically because of his sexuality but the Nazi regime was virulently homophobic and persecuted homosexuals and to my knowledge no fascist government has ever been accepting of homosexuality in general.
But one thing that does not mix is libertarian beliefs and fascism. So peter can’t be both.
