    One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.

      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.

    Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.

      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.

    JC, every other post on here is about data centers, Elon Musk or White House legislation. Can’t we talk about technology instead of US politics?
