tweety fish@sifu.tweety.fish · 2d agoI'm not going to QT but there's a silicon valley NIMBY complaining about maintaining the historical character of Palo Alto and man that place should look like fucking singapore. Market cap of tech companies based in and around there is like $14 trillion and it's full of fucking bungalows? So broken

Lol. This is why lawyers want to strangle their clients (or feel the need to drink away the bitter/angry). Why is this company in litigation making statements and taking positions *in a blog post* instead of in legal pleadings?? Clown car dumpster fire hurtling towards infinity...
