Solid article. Outlines well why no one wants these things. I hope it helps more communities fight these and ensure almost none get built

The existence of Palantir is a significant public policy failure. It is a tool for corrupt actors - both private and public - to maximize how much they steal from all of us. Their …

Hahahahahahahahahahahahha. Tell another joke I have never worked a place where management was even remotely held accountable for their decisions, their corruption, their abuse of p…

Good. Finally. These never should have even been prototyped. Fool of an idea.

Only 20 years too late. They should have been involved from the start

As a parent of 2 a big reason we won’t have a third is the massive step up in transportation costs. Having to get a third car seat would require us to go from our Kia to a minivan.…

Well this should be banned. Or at least watpo should be required to be transparent about this whenever you subscribe
