So just clog the pipe and wait by it. A goon will show up.

    Attest the goon, make a deal for them to call a supervisor out.

    Keep going until there are no more supervisors left in the company and the ladder is bare.

    "Hey, Bill, that new intern you hired? Yeah send him to the police station right away, I've got a new job title for him."

    "Alright officer, let me introduce you to our Executive Vice President of Environmental Operations, uhhh, what did you say his name was again?"

    Technically more illegal to block the pipe then to discharge illegally.

    Well the next part of the plan was to beat whoever comes out to check on it with a baseball bat so

    I mean if you want it to stay that's a great way to accomplish that. Cities and states protect businesses, it's what they do. What you need to do is create a public nuisance in bringing light and thus exposure to it. Damaging it or slowing business will not win you at friends with the government and in fact they may call it legal just to spite you.

    Well first you don't make comments and second you stop it upstream so you don't cause a catastrophe for no particular reason and become the bad guy yourself.

    Do you think that by clogging data center pipes the community would somehow be harmed? Or by beating OpenAI employees with baseball bats we'd somehow harm the community? You're angle seems to be violence = bad when we have only ever earned human rights through violence.

    I think it's likely that it causes power blackouts effecting the community and potentially ecological disasters could happen, we don't know.

    No I'm saying shut it down at the source and don't Babe Ruth your felonies.

    Alright, right, right, and what is this source you speak of? Is it akin to a spigot we can simply turn off? Or is it a mass of folks with capital and no morals trying to wax easy bucks off a regime thats hostile to its own people?

    You're not under the impression a random pipe has sprung forth from the ground like spring grass are you? No? Then the source is obviously wherever the pipe starts.

    You're calling for violence, use your brain the math on this one really really isn't hard and I've basically spelled it out for you as much as I can without causing legal issues for myself.

    Do you know nothing of worker's rights in America? How it came to be? Nobody asked nicely. The government dropped bombs on its own people to prevent us from stopping corporate scrip and extreme exploitation, and even then it was exported instead. So Idk what you think will happen if we stay in our lanes, but I can tell you that you won't be getting any rights that way, just more oppression. So go ahead and feel morally superior when all you are doing is satisfying your need to keep your head down and safe.

    I mean if you want it to stay that’s a great way to accomplish that. Cities and states protect businesses, it’s what they do. What you need to do is create a public nuisance in bringing light and thus exposure to it. Damaging it or slowing business will not win you at friends with the government and in fact they may call it legal just to spite you.

    Actually you did, right here. This is asking nicely. Not asking nicely would be clogging the pipe and beating anyone who tries to fix it. Thats called praxis.

    Your reading comprehension is lackluster or you're intentionally trying to rage about some random shit you've created in your head.

    No, it really isn't. In fact, leaving in place an uncontrolled and unpermitted immediate risk to human health and safety would be negligence. It may very well be more illegal to do nothing about the pipe.

    There are many cases where local authorities allow ground contamination end up paying reparations and settlements for many decades after the fact.

    It is. One is illegal dumping the other is industrial sabotage.

    The Texas Drainage District owns the Ditch. They had no idea the pipe was there.

    Doesn't matter. You can't just block a pipe downstream even if it's illegal. I know it sounds stupid but there's a chance blocking it causes a much much larger disaster upstream of the plug.

    It matters a lot, you cannot just allow illegal pollution which poses immediate harm to human life and the environment. If the pipe were installed correctly then it will backflow in the factory, but if you're that worried you can feel free to contact the company and tell them that the drainage pipe has been sealed.

    There's a difference between stopping something and recklessly interfering. Destruction of property doesn't actually care if the pipe is there legally nor does industrial sabotage. You're committing the arrestable offense not them unfortunately.

    You're operating under this idea that you can be tried for an action which prevent immediate harm, and that's just completely false.

    You're assuming there's immediate harm, you can't commit a crime and use the excuse that they did it first. The only thing you'd be doing is committing a felony in basically every state, what they're doing is also potentially felonious but you need to prove that first and seek civil solutions first to prevent getting yourself a one way trip to prison.
