    So what?

    Construction companies can just leave their broken shit around because it’s inconvenient to their bottom line to clean it?

      Wait until you hear the real shenanigans. Remember the cards against humanity fricassee with elon musk’s company down near the border? It’s not all that uncommon. I lived in an area with less people than cows for a few years, and there was a famous (true) local legend of a construction company that had put heavy machinery (I think some sort of road roller) in front of a farmer’s front land/gate, then refused to move it when asked. The farmer stacked about 30-50 round bales of hay around said piece of equipment, and told them just what would happen if they tried to ‘steal’ his hay. 6 years later, that equipment was still sitting there, and I’m betting it still is.

      1950s

      Probably the most environmentally friendly thing to come out of that era?

      Wait that’s not fair because a lot of that stuff could’ve been Buy It For Life
