W. Metcalfe and Son was a printer and publisher in Cambridge during the 19th century and early 20th century, with an office on Green Street for part of this period.[5] In 1854, the publishers George Bell & Sons acquired Deighton's offices on Green Street and also Trinity Street.

Shops

The street is one of Cambridge's shopping streets.[4] The shops include a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques as well as some well-known high street names. Trinity College owns most of the buildings in the street, for example the building that houses the J Sainsbury food store, the main central Cambridge supermarket, on Sidney Street and Green Street. Other notable shops and restaurants include Bills, Harriet's Café and Tea Room, Sundaes Shoes, Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery, Oska, Cateby's, Susie Watson Designs and Modish. [6]

Invading could physically damage it in hard to fix ways, and would probably lead to the loss of most of the people working on it and their knowledge; even ignoring this, it relies on materials from elsewhere which could be cut off. Basically everyone needs the chips produced by TSMC, and if they just stopped existing so would... roughly all consumer electronics for several years.)
gollark: It would not.

gollark: It's unreasonable that people's life chances are affected by who they happened to be born to.
