Enfield topography: E.W.D. as O.N.A.N.-subsidized — les trebuchets noirs

quote

regional shiny-truck, land-barge, and catapult facilities for the O.N.A.N.-subsidized Empire Waste Displacement Co. (what the Québecois call les trebuchets noirs, spectacular block-long catapults that make a sound like a giant stamping foot as they fling great twine-bundled waste-vehicles into the subannular regions of the Great Concavity at a parabolic altitude exceeding 5 km.

Context

Experialism as line-item and municipal noise: the waste-catapults are run by the "O.N.A.N.-subsidized Empire Waste Displacement Co.," the gift-territory maintained by public subsidy — and the Québecois name for the machines, "les trebuchets noirs," carries the grievance in the naming, medieval siege-engines flinging America's waste north into the Concavity. The border policy sits in a tax-base list between a nail company and a tennis academy, experialism domesticated to infrastructure. (The subannular waste-into-fuel physics is annularity's; landed here is the O.N.A.N.-subsidy / experialism-as-daily-fact angle.)
