What qualities will prevent these billionaires from getting ejected by their security personnel to make room for their families?

Clean because no one has yet measured the ten thousand year containment costs and unintentional releases.
Clean because we have somehow written off the devastation of Chernobyl and Fukushima as trivial.
I don’t want a nuclear plant within 100 miles of my home because I have lived through three meltdowns and do not want to be displaced by a fourth.
But sure, in the moment nuclear emissions are super green.
Please stay away from our water. I want no part in helping California become more unsustainable.
ETA: to westerners- You have enough water to maintain first class lifestyles. Allocate/ration it better or cap population. Stop stealing from others.
Agreed. I’m in California and it is pretty obvious our water problems are due to outflows exceeding inflows. They are draining the reservoirs faster than ever. They were full three years ago and are supposed to last five to seven years of drought, by design.
Meanwhile, natural reservoirs like Tahoe do not even recognize there in a drought.
Gaslighting. Soros backed DAs refusing to prosecute and governments letting violent offenders out of jail early.
This was obvious when they did it. Don’t let them rewrite history.
Public bus systems can be good; most cities and municipalities simply don't bother to make it so (because "polite society" drives everywhere).
NYC's buses have their own flaws, but they demonstrate many of the necessary conditions for success: dedicated bus lanes, split-service (local and express on the same route, with corresponding bus sizes), and multimodal connections (light rail, streetcars, subways). This is all in contrast to how many bus networks in the US operate: they pick you up on the side of the highway, drive with the rest of traffic, and drop you off on either the highway or in a bus depot in the middle of nowhere.
No, public transit systems can only be good on paper. Then they get implemented, the fares are held artificially low for equity reasons, bums move in, polite society abandons the system and it turns into a rolling cesspool. Every time.
My private car however has only my germs. No drugs. No needles. No piss. No stinky bums laying across the seats. My music. Air conditioning. Goes where I want, when I want it.
The only difference is cost. My private car costs me a lot. Your public transit dream also cost ME a lot.

The woke mind virus seeks to protect itself.
I don’t see how bitching about your boss’s tweets constitutes discussing working conditions.

I am so glad to see this rational response to the woke mind virus at work.
Politicize and campaign on your own time. I’ve had to keep my mouth shut at work for decades. Time the fanatical left learn the same.
Stories are exactly what I’d expect: Drugs.
They don’t say it directly, but woven throughout all these sad stories is a lifetime of abuse.
