Not only is it a Disney thing, it's one of the main junctions that connects the Disney substation and Disney Power Plant to the rest of the grid.

Excuse the listical but There's a lot of interesting disguised cell towers out there.

The parking space reminded me of people who bought inner city parking spaces for cheap in like the 70s, and now own that space forever and rent it out for ridiculous amounts (like approaching a livable "wage" per space). It's like landlording but with even less responsibilities!

communication tower trees are designed that way so that when viewed from very high up they just look like trees and thus won't get bombed by the USSR

They're designed that way so the blend in for decorative reasons. The local town doesn't want an ugly cell tower, so they get disguised.

Poorly disguised cell towers stand out way more than regular ones imo, so saying it's so the commies can't blow up your good christian 4G towers makes more sense than reality. The ones on the east coast dressed up as conifers looming over almost entirely deciduous forests at twice the height of the canopy are extra egregious.

I assume this phenomenon is some deep lizard part of my brain recognizing them as predators out to ambush me.

here's a fun thing I learned. my neighborhood, which is filled with $500,000+ single family homes counts as a "low income area" for the purpose of applying for grants because there's a condo/apartment complex in the census tract which drags down the average income

But what if the electric car companies then sell carbon credits to coal-fired power plants, thus rendering them carbon neutral and solving the problem once and for all?

the year is 2069. eternal president Bernie Sanders has illegalized being a CEO. those that still practice the lifestyle call themselves a "friend of capitalism" to keep the DSA spies from identifying them.
