    Zuckerberg has spent more than $110 million purchasing at least 11 homes on Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue over the past 14 years,

    Disgusting.

    Underneath the compound, Zuckerberg added 7,000 square feet of space described as “basements,” which to area residents are more akin to “bunkers” or a “billionaire’s bat cave.” Zuckerberg similarly added a 5,000-square-foot underground structure to his compound in Hawaii, which he insists is not a “doomsday bunker.”

    Extraordinarily Wasteful. Selfish. Parasitic.

    In 2016, Palo Alto officials rejected a proposal to demolish four homes and replace them with smaller houses and large basements as part of a wider compound. While the city denied the specific application, Zuckerberg ultimately proceeded gradually, undertaking similar work in a piecemeal fashion to avoid further regulatory hurdles. The Palo Alto City Council and some residents have since criticized what they describe as the exploitation of zoning loopholes and the city’s regulatory inaction.

    Move fast, break things. Do whatever the fuck you want. No one can stop your money.

    Some of these properties that were recently purchased sit unoccupied, despite being in a region known for its acute housing shortage

    Outright evil.

        This is important to understand. They don’t care about the fall of society or the planet, as long as the financial system stays intact and their lines go up. They have long prepared themselves for the end they themselves are pushing.

            Well trump wants a “golden dome” which will never happen. First of all, our country is far too large to make that even remotely feasible. And second, if anyone attacks us, it’ll be with weapons far more advanced than the iron dome is capable of dealing with. Their enemies use old tech that can be mostly defeated with a system like that in a small enough area. That just doesn’t work for a country as big as the US. Especially when talking of drone swarms and (real) hypersonic missiles.
