I remain deeply fascinated by this, because I guarantee that other issues have come up that have impacted him, personally, as much (if not more) than a data center. It's like someone turned on the subtitles for policy implications--but only for data centers. Just data centers. Nothing else.

What about data centers is making folks so mad they forget to even be racist??? Like??? Are the tech CEOs just this off-putting? Are we all just this exhausted of rich fuckers? I still want to understand.

I mean the answer really could be "the tech CEOs are just that off-putting" because they are even if you didn't spend the last week trying to dodge harry potter cult discourse like an Neo in the Matrix

I think the problem making white guys upset is that rich white men can't buy their way out of data centers moving in. The proposed centers are not being kept "over there" enough, partially because of the water consumption issue, but its not aesthetic or property-value-increasing like a golf course.

the community I'm thinking about down the road from me is definitely not rich, though. these are not a group of people who have been able to buy their way out of anything before this. and never seemed to want to? I'm sure that is the reason for SOME people. But it's much wider than that!

This is the part that really has me baffled. Just this specific part right here. lol bsky.app/profile/most...

Could it be that it is a big, physical, noisy thing? Like, you don't have to make any intellectual leap (low regs->polluted river). There is just a big hulking thing there. Like how they hate windmills

If I had to guess, and this is a guess, most other policies they put under general government stuff which they relate more to Dems, the whole playbook of Government doing things bad and all of that Data centre's bypass that I suspect because of how new they are and being connected to tech
