Democrats don't make things better. This is a generational shift in work culture. And, while ~40% aren't in the "labor force," almost nobody is without a source of income. Lots of people have passive earnings, or are making money outside of what is tracked. And good for them, since almost 40% goes to an overabundance of taxes.

Look up how the carbon footprint came to be. It's such a silly metric, like how many billiard balls your toilet can flush. It's not based on anything scientific, it's just a made-up number that carries no real world significance.

And there's zero proof that storms have gotten more severe ever. Damage caused by storms has gotten more expensive, simply because of inflation and more things being built where storms can damage them, but the storms themselves are no worse than they've ever been.

I hate articles like this so much.

Despite being a Linux fan and desktop/handheld user, there are a handful of apps I happen to spend a lot of time in that are significantly more stable and polished on iOS than Android. That consistency has a lot of value to me, and that's why I bought Apple - or at least why I bought Apple this time. I'm running a 3rd-gen iPad Air, which is definitely showing its age now, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The main roads to this area are already insufficient, so traffic is a problem. The data center was only going to have a staff of 30. It could be an Amazon warehouse or meat processing plant or something where hundreds of additional vehicles swarm the roads. I don't have a clear idea yet of what the alternate bad development will be.

I'm waiting to see if my theory is correct. Last year there was a local referendum for allowing a data center in a rural area of Chesapeake, VA. Some of my friends who live nearby voted against it because they like living around farmland and trees. I do too, but I don't believe that will be the case long. I suspect that this country corner is going to be developed no matter what, and not putting a data center there will instead allow zoning to put something even more obnoxious there.
