Yeah I think the floor weight is the actual concern and reason it doesn’t happen rather than zoning, but if it’s possible to renovate it within something close to the same cost as starting again, they should renovate it. We need to start taking into account things like the pollution for stuff like this but it not being considered doesn’t mean someone isn’t getting the bill. I don’t think people who would prefer to demolish and start again consider amount of shit that will be put into the air if you knock down a good portion of the office buildings, even if it doesn’t effect much on a grander scale it will effect the actual cities.

Would be interesting if a structural engineer did a video on all the problems and solutions etc of converting office buildings. Maybe even getting away with the bottom few floors on all office big buildings would be a good start.

Another reason you’ve not yet been given is that some of these companies have decades long contracts for renting. The government should intervene and cancel the contracts and pay for them to be converted to flats tbqh. Someone will say “But that will cost more than building a new one![citation needed]” but knocking down half the office buildings at once will probably give everyone in the cities supercancer*[citation needed]*

Yeah blaming it for adverse weather is a pretty old thing, I haven’t actually seen anyone mention HAARP in a long time and was thinking about its absence the other day

But there’s no law that governs what a ceo can or can’t do with regard to profit or success, as long as they can show they were acting in the best interest of the company.

This may be technically true but it doesn’t play out like that and can’t due to structural reasons. The situation arose from Henry Ford paying his workers substantially above what was deemed necessary because he wanted the workers to become consumers, preferably Ford consumers, and the shareholders instead wanted the extra bit in those pay packets to go to them instead. The shareholders took Ford to court and won. Now shareholders for the most part aren’t even people or small groups who can be persuaded by things like growing a healthy consumer base in the economy, they’re various large funds trying to simply maximize the amount of money they generate independent of any thought about overall economic health.

I think you can jailbreak lots of them, although I’ve never tried

The up-votes are also mapped to favourites in Mastodon

Explains why this obvious issue is not brought up by Mastodon lol

Money lol. If they do have it and reddit negotiates then they’ll probably expect to be offered a higher price for dropping the API demand. They are just upping the ante.

It’s an edit of Berserk (1997), one of the best things I’ve ever watched

I don’t know why reddit thought that people would use it any other way, they were basically asking people not to use it how the vast majority would presume it should be used.

Is that just for the feed or comments too? I like it on the comments

When it comes to Russia, when liberals took power in the 90s the death toll reached WW2 levels, and they were massively deindustrialized to boot. Liberals are rightly despised there, their economy minister even said of the massive numbers of dead that they “didn’t fit in to the market” while living standards for everyone else plummeted. They also crushed democracy and replaced it with dictatorial presidential powers so they could remain in control, and people like Medvedev have openly stated that the KPRF won the 1996 election and were cheated out of it. Nobody wants them anywhere near power and the two most popular parties remain United Russia and the communist KPRF.
