I figure this is literally it with a side order of actually he would prefer to live in California, same way fewer billionaires than you might think flee NYC / Chicago / Germany / France / Singapore over tax issues

even if you're private island wealthy, the richest and most vibrant cities on earth are nice places to be (for the non poor) and also they're where a higher proportion of your peers hang out

I haven't been giving much attention to East Palestine (not because it doesn't matter, but because there isn't much I can do about anything), but isn't the issue ground and water contamination after the shipping company tested only the air and said "yep it's fine to go home"? Where does the restaurant's water supply come from relative to the affected area?

Your understanding of the testing process is absolutely completely flawed, presumably because you were exposed in passing to articles or tweets that lied to you. Not only did the company hire a reasonably reputable outside testing service (I'm not gonna say there's zero chance they're loving around, but it doesn't seem to be NS totally sandbagging), the EPA has itself been conducting pretty robust testing. At this time, it appears that everything they're testing for is at safe-to-undetectable levels.

There are some fiddly bits about how Dioxins (possible byproduct of burns that involve chlorine compounds) are hard to measure, so it's possible they find something there with the more involved testing. People who know fuckloads more chemistry than I do think this is unlikely, and a good chunk of the dioxin articles going around are (like much else about far right and grifter coverage of the disaster) just straight up lies. for starters, polyvinyl chloride and vinyl chloride are different substances that decompose differently

specifically the epa is testing lots of air sites including inside homes in the Direct exposure area, lots of water sites including but not limited to municipal and well water, for AFAIK all known expected chemicals and decomposition chemicals from the spilled substances, plus a bunch of unlikely ones (see the dioxin bit) including a few that might be completely unrelated to the spill but have shown up in the area at some point in the recent past

It's the engineering HQ, so most likely scenario is that to attract the kind of people Elon needs to make Tesla not suck (good luck) don't want to live in Texas as it races to the bottom on human rights along with most of its fellow chud hellholes.

I would absolutely refuse any job that required me to live in Texas or Florida or Missouri, etc. Even some of the people I know on the right look at the situations there getting objectively bad and decide to just keep complaining about New England and making the same "some global warming, eh?" Joke whenever it snows.

That's a good point. My first thought just went to Flint where the pipes were the issue. Thanks.

also part of how the people of Flint got some semblance of justice was using EPA test data, because turns out the EPA was measuring things accurately, the local admin was just in cahoots with shitheads and stonewalling doing anything about it

Not even loving close. Steven loving Crowder bitched up a storm about a $50 million deal with Dailywire where he'd only have to work 4 days a week, comparing it to slavery.

I don't think any voice on the left is making even remotely close to that.

They were going there for Texas's supposedly lower tax rates and they actually wound up paying, what was it like 18% higher taxes than they would have if they just stayed in California?

Crowder will probably never truly go away until he's dead, but he has significantly weakened his star as of late by trying to come at Ben Shapiro with that gotcha re: that contract he nearly signed and missed. He'll probably lay low until the heat dies down, but YouTube is still paying him millions of dollar a year to be their #1 endorsed front page bigot, so he hasn't exactly lost anything by telling Benjafin Shapirosufur to go stick his yarmulke up his wife's bone dry coochie, just the chance to earn even more money.

He'll be back in due time. They always bounce back.
