        I mean… I hate what Trump is doing as much as the next guy, but review-bombing the demo company for doing proper demo? That’s just stupid. It’s the equivalent of a child throwing itself down on the floor of the supermarket, yelling, and stomping feet - it achieves nothing, but makes life harder for everybody.

        If they’re a good demo company and someone needs demolition done, they won’t find them, because they took a job… Stupid.

        And in this sense it’s good that Google is killing the obvious review-bombs.

          I dunno. If they took on a historical and cultural demolition without having the correct authority (which they didn’t because we know none of that demolition has been approved by relevant agencies. Donny’s say so is NOT enough, although I can see that it’d be hard to decline the POTUS), then I think there’s a price they need to pay. It’s akin to a soldier obeying Donny 2 Inches unlawful orders. There is an obligation to do the right thing, and obeying orders is not an excuse. Where I come from, demo companies are frequently being fined for middle of the night demolitions of historically protected properties. Obviously, the punishments don’t eclipse their profits, because it does keep happening, but THAT is a whole other story.

            I didn’t know they didn’t have the necessary paperwork. Still…

            Donny’s say so is NOT enough, although I can see that it’d be hard to decline the POTUS)

            That’s the problem right there. Normally, POTUS wouldn’t make that request without appropriate paperwork being done. Normally, they could say “no” when paperwork was missing. But right now, the US is so much beyond “normal”, that I don’t blame them for taking on the job. Who knows what went down there? It’s all insanity all the way to the top, so might as well they’ve been strong-armed into doing this, threatened with ICE raids and what not.

            I agree with the rest of what you wrote in principle, but look at it this way: if a soldier disobeys an illegal order, the soldier is being put on trial and that’s that. If the demo company’s owner refuses a job, and the insane POTUS goes after them, it’s not just the owner whose livelihood is on the line - their family now loses their source of income. The families of those employed there lose their source of income, etc., etc.

            If this was any civilised country, where people get social security and healthcare, I would agree with you 100%. But since it’s the US, these people losing their jobs might mean even full on bankruptcy and homelessness.

            I agree that they shouldn’t have done the demo if the paperwork was not in place, but I fully understand why they did it.

            And I still think that - unless we see something like that directly from the CEO of that company - calling them “fascist” or “supporters of fascists” is some fundamentalist insanity on par with the Taliban.

          Are they doing a proper demo? You are supposed to need plans submitted before beginning renovations like this and those plans have not been submitted. These seem like the guys you call when you need someone who doesn’t care about following rules.

          When I hire contractors, if they are good at the job is the first thing I check. Then, if they are fascist sympathizers is the second thing i check. I want to know and google is stopping my from knowing.

          It doesn’t make life harder for everyone. It makes life harder for the people who took a job for a fascist. Perhaps they should not have done that.
