I think this is the right thread....
Anyway, Jane Mitchel has written a fairly scathing piece on the land assembly: https://janemitchell.blog/2024/04/10/the...e-is-dead/
The TL;DR is that we're giving up the principles we've stuck to in the region for two decades for a few jobs and some greenwashing. And she's damn right.
I mean, I have fundamental problems with what is happening here, but I wouldn't like it even if expropriation wasn't being used here. I'm rather surprised how willing some people are here to roll over for a large corporation opening a factory. Like, if this was a developer promising sprawling housing, there wouldn't be a single person here in favour, but a sprawling, car dependent factory....and half of you have rolled over and shown your bellies. Capitalism is fucking weird.
