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.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

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.

People keep telling me "oh but they can see how this impacts them in their own backyard" and like I'm sorry but I live in rural Alabama, I can see how 8,000 GOP policy decisions impact all of us every day. But usually the white conservatives are selectively oblivious because (usually) racism.

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

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

yeah, it's just like I said above: they are realizing this *before* it happens even though they usually will just agree to whatever the local GOP says no matter how absolutely clearly unhinged & wrong it is. the local GOP seems just as confused by the loss of this power as I am, tbh.

and while I am no fan of AI or data centers, this is hardly the first time conservatives have said "no really we're gonna build this and it'll be great yay jobs yay community" about something that will not be great boo jobs boo community... they just... usually get away with it???
