Port Arthur is the place the injection would go if Texas got an enema. Janice Joplin thought so.
I just had to get out on the Texas plane, Lord, well it was bringing me down Yeah, I had to get out of Texas, baby, Lord, it was bringing me down I been all around the world, but Port Arthur is the worst place that I've ever found I guess they couldn't understand it there, honey, they'd laugh me off the street! Lord, I guess they couldn't understand me, baby, honey, they'd laugh, I said they'd laugh me right off the street, yeah I said I want to keep on moving, baby, be the last person I ever wanna meet Yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard when you're all alone Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard, Lord, when you're all alone I might die real old lady, but I'd never call Texas my home, no, no, no, oh!
I worked at Texaco 7 (1974 - 1981) years as a journeyman instrumentman.
I asked the guys there, "Where's the goddam golden statue of the fucking mayor?" I told them "There must be a gold statue somewhere because Port Arthur is poor as dirt and has billions of fucking dollars flowing in and out of the port. Where's the prosperity? Why is Port Arthur such a fucking violent racist impoverished piece of shit?"
They said the refineries often threatened to leave (as if they would take the tanks and towers anywhere) if the city taxed them. The plant managers and suits didn't live in Port Arthur. They commuted from Houston and Dallas. The money never landed in Port Arthur.
Nowadays, the Saudis own the whole goddam town and the buildings are painted with murals in a pitiful attempt by the downtowners to revitalize.
Saudis take 100% control of America's largest oil refinery
I'm an area photographer and I won't go to Port Arthur in the daytime.
Special interests in cities do. The motivations are right there in TFS: Margins are razor thin for grocery stores. That's who's fighting.
Apparently, food is not coveted as much as the grocers assert. If food made money, there would be stores that sold food and no beer and cigarettes and sodas.
"Yes, we have no toilet paper today -- just food."
Poor people can't afford upscale food. Eliminating the Dollar Stores isn't going to raise their food budget.
Perhaps the hacker doen't live in an ecosystem where opportunities abound. Also, the hacking skill set may not be broad enough to extend to all of the talents required to hold an affluent job.
In any case, the hacker has established a business model that seems to be working.

Texaco, Gulf Oil, Mobil Oil, Shell, ...

Facebook's content is not science or journalism. We excel at cat videos, selfies, and pictures of food. Anything else is pure bullshit.

Social cooling.
People are starting to realize that this 'digital reputation' could limit their opportunities.
Look: Remember the very first porn sites way back in the 90s? We clicked to see titties and then a question popped up: "Are you over 18 or over?"
- Yes
- No
We clicked, "No," and went to Disney.
Having IQs higher than asphalt, we made another run at it and gave the answer that fit our needs.
Few on /. are unaware of behavioural modification techniques.
People are slowly learning to shape their narrative on social media to avoid pain and gain favour.
... you didn't spend any of your billions of bucks investing your goddam time getting a motherfucking PHD in the methodology of teaching.
You're telling us what we need to hear to do things your way.
What a dirt bag.
I'm no where near your country.
I'm in Texas.
Heinlein didn't do much in the way of Moon wars.
He was more interested in warping the social norms.
- Stranger in a Strange Land - He created a messiah.
- Farnham's Freehold - He flipped the Black and White races.
Heinlein was more about adventure and inventing story lines that normalized the taboo than dystopian Moon murder.
The first fucking Moon missions were because of Russia.
Now, it's because of China.

Then find another job, OK?
... sign a non-disclosure agreement.
This new TV will be "speaker of the house."
... I can wear it anywhere I want to.
Might have been a "she," in some godforsaken place other than New Jersey.

As long as you don't actually take it anywhere.
Which the perp did.
Tell that to the dudes at Defense Distributed selling CNC mills.
You own that, right?
You've broadened the scope because you know you're wrong about DD.
"shall not infringe," doesn't apply.
No, you should look to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives instead of the 2nd amendment to the US constitution.
As you know full well, there are lots of "arms" that civilians can't keep and bear. A short barrelled rifle is one.
Right after Facebook dons the cloak of ethics.
You insensitive clod.
DO NOT BE FUDDIER THAN ME.
Well played. :)
... schools, roads, utilities ....
There aren't any of those that are worth a shit.
The rust belt has no indigenous talent beyond landscapers and building maintenance.
Amazon wants to grow spaces where technical talent either exists or is attractive to technical talent.
Who the simple fuck wants to live in the rust belt?
The firearm itself was illegal -- short barrelled rifle.
A twofer.
The goddam mother "fake news" sumbitch card.
It's tiring and redundant. I don't like it, so quit already.
Your knowledge is shallow.
It's not a huge industry. DD is barely afloat. They sell 3D printer files via thumb drives at $10, only in the US (and some cool merch) and that's it.
Ghost Gunner is probably what you're thinking about and those are expensive with low volume sales.
