Rules for thee and not for me and my friends.

The depth of the sweep reaching well past national offices and even state leadership offices and local legislators is pretty amazing.

Could they potentially just choose to pay more than the disclosure?

The apology or non-apology for such things are strange to me. If someone wants to do it I don’t mind but I don’t see any benefit from it.

The reparations concept seems totally disconnected from whatever it is for…. and impossible to somehow resolve long ago historical events.

Part of the reason for the insane ads is that they’re often (not always) created and paid for by groups who don’t have a name to tarnish. They’re like running into that crazy neighbor who suddenly starts talking politics…. and you’re kinda scared.

It’s that way in some places in the US and I’m pretty sure local businesses aren’t taxed to death.

The scale of blue shift seems historic. Local news and evens seem like they’ve had no impact. It seems like a national referendum that ran all the way to local races.

What is sad is we've been building data centers for decades without problems.

Some near me have wetlands around them and the houses bordering them are very desirable.

Seems like some bad apples ruined it for everyone.

The difference is that these AI data centers use significantly more power on a per-rack basis (and thus requiring much bigger backup generators) and generate much more heat (requiring much more cooling) than the data centers of old.
