Musk put a giant X sign on top of the building and it is incredibly brightly flashing, even nights. Hope it gets down, this is stupid. Imagine someone gets a seizure of it or crashes car because it blinded the person.

    It’s not about a business restricting people, it’s about them restricting local officials, inspectors, etc.

    Some of these officials have just as much authority as the police.

    It would be like if you opened up a store, then a year later you sold the store and they started selling fireworks or kerosene by the bucket. Then when the fire inspector comes, you just lock the doors and say no, and just keep operating your business. Maybe you hide the kerosene and let them come in 3 weeks later, maybe you just never let them in.

    Could you do that in Germany? Because this is essentially akin to that, X could be cooking up pounds of Fentanyl in the basement and no one would be the wiser… hyperbole I know… but you get my point

      @Corkyskog Disclaimer: Maybe I’m misinformed, so don’t quote me on this. I had a little coffee-cookies-shop (or whatever its called). As far as I know, I could even ask the police or fire inspector to go out of the building, as part of my rights. Unless they have written permission. But I was never in such a situation. Maybe I’m wrong here.
