“China has more data centers” is not an argument for turning our communities into corporate utility yards. Build them responsibly. Protect our water. Protect our grid. Make companies pay their way. We do not need to win some stupid data-center dick-measuring contest with China.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?
