Aghast and Confused

One of those guys who is losing trust in the government because the guys who don't trust the government are now in charge of it... Inmates in charge of the asylum much?

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

Amazon, Uber, Lyft... I'm getting tired of these huge companies that don't give a shit what their customers think. They spend a ton of time devising categories you can choose from to send them a message, and never have an "Other" category. And of COURSE they have gaping holes. 1/2

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
