I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people's land, essentially cutting these people's property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can't and they also can't sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.

I believe they can sue though. Might depend on the law there but I was literally just watching a video of a lawyer going over what to do if your property is seized and or used in violation of your right to enjoy your property and there's an avenue for land owners to sue.

Could also track down the CEO, trap them in their own dwellings, and set them on fire.

That requires slightly more work though

You never get the smell of burning flesh out of your nose.

The trick is to use a proper flamethrower. Then you don't have to worry about being close enough to smell it.

Besides, it's the skin hair and fat that smells bad, the muscle itself smells... Not good, but like... Not gross or anything.

Source of smell: accidents from my past.

The last proper flame thrower designed as a weapon was the M202 FLASH, it's a flame-rocket-launcher (with 4 tubes.) Jonathan Wild, who built and licensed one, has videos and a book about it. Total waste of time, but still entertaining.
