Quote the "generic finger wagging" from the article.
- canjobear 3y agoFor example, use of “land grab” to describe a normal real estate transaction.
- flangola7 3y agoCommon and normal are two very different things.
- belter 3y agoAttitudes like these ones are why Billionaires always ask for a "equal level playing field" every time they go into a new business domain. Maybe they can call this one Elysium: Scan residents eyes for safety, commute an remaining human workers needed in the morning and evening via driverless taxis, and be done with it?
- canjobear 3y agoThe billionaires arguably got ripped off here. The farmers colluded to sell at artificially high prices.
- cristiancavalli 3y agoThere’s not a shred of evidence to support that except for the lawsuit brought by the investors. I would wager this was the fair market in action and these billionaires paid the price that was given by people who needed a large incentive to sell. Anything past that is the old rich person game of “free market rules for me but for thee” Nice try though

Here's something that occurs in the body: > “Flannery Associates used strong-arm mobster tactics to purchase the land, including suing farmers — generational farm families — promising that they can continue to operate, and then throwing them off the land,” Garamendi said. The poster essentially asked for the article to be rephrased because it's nothing but generic finger wagging, as they claim. So before doing the work of paraphrasing the article for them, I'd prefer them to elaborate, and name the phrases they meant with "generic finger wagging". Because, truth be told, that sounded like awfully generic criticism uttered without reading the article.
