Musk's Boring Company tunnels not only don't live up to the hype and merely shunt smaller cars around at a slow pace with inadequate ventilation and fire safety guards, it turns out... they're also filling with toxic sludge that burns the skin of workers who touch it https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-boring-company-tunnel-sludge
@cwebber I mean he is basically cartoonish in his villainy, but his character design is too shit for being an actual cartoon villain.
It's actually quite disappointing.
@cwebber also:
> The agency ultimately fined Boring more than $112,000 over eight violations it deemed "serious."
Wow, one hundred and twelve THOUSAND dollars! That's definitely gonna hurt. 🤦♀️
I'm curious why revenue and not something akin to income (or perhaps, to account for businesses that have no income (yet), sum of income and incoming investments, averaged over some time).
That would also create a stronger incentive to operate as a federation of smaller companies, which I'm not sure of the effects of.
