I'm from Pittsburgh. I think we ran a cross country meet It's been maybe a little longer for me :)

But in the meantime the park has grown from a neighborhood attraction to an east coast destination. I am always a bit amused when my coworkers vacation there.

The town, or at least the main street that goes by the factory. As far as I know, no orange people were enslaved.
Seriously though, Milton Hershey was surprisingly progressive for his time. He built affordable homes for his workers and helped them become home owners. The school he built was originally for orphaned boys.

The purpose of a fine is to get compliance, not to punish. The fine was $50,000, doubling every day. So $350,00 dollars means Musk caved after 3 days. Pretty effective tactic by the court.
