So on that last part, residents in areas with a high population of disruptive homeless would feel well within their rights to criminalize their behavior.

I don't think you understand how the passage of time works. Modern stadiums were built in a world where tailgating culture for sports was already well established.

Considering this is meant to be NYC, I don't really think that's relevant.

Look I gotta say I'm not seeing this. Of all the things that would inspire someone to look inwards, I don't see "not being a good guest host of a late night comedy show" or "booed at someone else's standup comedy routine" as being good examples. That's the kind of shit high schoolers think adults care about.

I thought the Cybertruck would be his wake up call, but somehow that is the best selling EV pickup in all of North America.

You can get knocked down without being destroyed. Like if he were just forced from his CEO positions they would be great.

A few years ago I would agree with you, but honestly I think female celebs also get away with this stuff, they just didn't feel as empowered before.

Like nobody outside extremely niche Twitter spaces cared when Taylor Swift dated a 17 year old or when the owner of the Seahawks sexually harassed her bodyguards.

The gossip rags will milk a wooden cow for months though. Dude didn't get cancelled or anything.

You know it's kinda weird that nobody gave a shit when Arnold did this. I guess because Arnold didn't make a brand around being wholesome, except when it comes to the gym?

Pretending like people who have issues with homeless people camping just hate the idea of seeing poor people in the presence is a massive straw man.

A lot of homeless who choose to camp in heavily urban areas are deeply disturbed, and almost proudly violate every rule of society.

I do want to point out that stadiums in the US are built with parking because of tailgating culture, or more cynically the ability to charge for tailgating culture.

"Ivy, you know who I am at this point. Let me attest that most of these people don't actually do shit. There are layers of layers of management and shareholders that allow the average generational wealth billionaire to extract extreme amounts of wealth without doing shit. That's honestly a good thing in your case, because anyone who actually has the ability to make obscene money in this universe is either a superhero or supervillain, and you would have just walked into their secret hideout.

If you do kill him, the best case scenario is a collection of hedge funds you never heard of divy up his controlling shares and keep business as usual flowing. The worst case is Luthor buys the company and makes everything a million times worse as step one in a convoluted plan to kill superman via kryptonite laced micro plastics. The most likely thing is one of those technically secret society orgs seizing control because at this point they just need some win. My money is on the Owls. They've been humiliated so many times they've been officially downgraded to "community advisory committee".

I honestly don't even understand where this is coming from. You and Freeze both have blank checks from both WayneTech and Star Labs to continue your research. Either of you alone could reverse large portions of climate change. If you really wanted to go the vigilante route, you could have just mind controlled him. Darksied is planning an invasion, there are no less than three evil AIs rolling around, I'm dealing with two separate split personalities, and I haven't heard from the Joker in a while which means we're all probably fucked. Even if I did notice, it would take me literal years to get around to actually fixing it. It feels like you are doing this because on some level you want to fail, because that's easier than doing the hard work required to fix the systemic abuses of our system "

"...So I take it the Therapy's working, huh Bruce?"

"Sort of. It's Batman".

"Actually technically right now you're Nightwing. Care to explain that?"

"It's a long story. The short of it is that I'm pulling double duty because Dick somehow forgot how to fucking Jump and Jason took Damien out for "Beer and Cigarettes", which I can only hope is literal because anything it would be a metaphor for would involve no less than two dozen corpses.".

"Jesus Christ and Harley said I was carrying too much stress. I'll come back next week, get some rest Bruce"
