People are acting like this is actually going to fix anything.

You can't deny that it definitely opened a can of worms. The most important thing to come out of this is the reaction to the public's reaction. People are definitely taking notice of the lack of remorse for the victim and the praise for the shooter. I am not justifying violence, but I'm not sure what other event would climb its way to the top of the press so easily and get people talking/taking sides so quickly. And it only takes 1 copycat for people to start seeing this as a "trend" against CEOs. Again, not condoning violence, just how I think things would play out. But as a side note I do condone violence

    I've read rumors the CEO may have been willing to testify against certain parties regarding insider trading. Probably in exchange for having his own crimes forgiven. So the shooter was hardly an activist.

    Ministers, elected presidents and now a CEO. This could be the beginning for a capitalism restructure. They can't hide from a global population with just some body guards forever.

    I told you Elon acting like a cool rich with people is only a false appearance. He is not different to a Rockefeller, just trying to cover his arse. They have been told before they are at risk if poverty keeps increasing. They are also afraid of a possible revolution against them.

    Wait a minutes, the rivets had to be hot? Of course, to make them smaller so that they'd lock in and never budge, but... why not lift them up and then heat them?

    Heat them... in what? The furnaces used to heat rivets to a cherry red glow were heavy, cumbersome things. You'd have a single furnace that would supply all the riveters on the construction site. That's not something you can just lug around to within reach of each individual worker, especially if they're working on a level that doesn't even have a floor.

    Maybe they had to re-heat them using butane torches as they passed them along or something?

    This is definitely about the "Goddess Fall" incident.

    For those that don't know:

    Nikke were revered as the saviors of humanity, but after a catastrophic failure in a pivotal part of a war,
    the human's perception of them changed from Heroes to Expendable tools.
    They were treated as 3rd class citizens (at best),
    and any human advocating for their rights were labeled as terrorists and subjected to persecution
    200 Mass-produced Nikke decided to leave and build a home for themselves.
    As they boarded an elevator to the surface, the government cut the power to stop them.
    The elevator was 4km high when the power was cut and was now on a collision course.
    The Nikke decided to save the humans below by sacrificing themselves by self-destructing and blowing up the elevator.

    This is the reason why Nikke squads are 3 or less...
