    One thing I noticed while voting in the mid terms is how being anti data center is fairly bi-partisan even for maga dick bags.

      And yet Republican candidates and sitting legislators are pushing hard for them. They really don’t seem to be reading the room well.

      We’re seeing the same thing in Canada, too. The typical alignment between corporations and the right wing seems to not be serving them well this time around…

        The, we’re going to spend 10 trillion dollars on new data centers and they will use all the water and power messaging for stock pumping while people see costs increasing and rising water and power bills was a pretty direct and understandable message. Remarkably fast turnaround though ,it shows how most concepts are ossified while this was genuinely new and people were willing to change their minds on it.
