Maybe if the people making these demands were to lead by example instead of living lives of such unbelievable luxury and excess in their dozen beachfront homes people would be more likely to believe them. Especially if their demands actually made logical sense, like demanding that the 15 cargo ships that out-pollute every private automobile on the planet were dealt with rather than demanding people give up meat and air conditioning and go back to living worse than medieval peasants.

Or if they didn't all seem to be coordinated in completely ignoring that China alone outpollutes basically everyone else by a huge margin, instead relying on the hilariously dishonest bait and switch of screaming "but per capita!" as if China keeping half a billion people in abject poverty while still out-polluting everyone else somehow magically undid their pollution.

They were not even talking about California specifically though? Just about data centers in general across the US.

That's the point. just/ those almond growers use tens of times more water than every single data center combined.

Also nice whataboutism.

Even if "whataboutism" was a thing, which it isn't, we're literally talking about water usage. Pointing out that every single data center in the entire country uses 1/10th or less of the water of JUST california's obscenely wasteful almond growers isn't "whataboutism", it's literally the topic at hand. Wasteful water usage.

You're skipping the giant forty billion pound pink elephant in the room: Boys are staggeringly overdiagnosed by a toxic and abusive school system as a way to justify drugging them into compliance. Give kids recess and reasonable expectations for work (and homework) and you'll see diagnosis rates plummet.

Your link proves what I said. America sends billions in no-strings cash to the Arab states that use it to kill and radicalize Americans. What Israel gets is "store credit" to US defense manufacturers who operate US factories that employ US workers. And unlike with the Arab states it's a bilateral deal that America profits from enormously on every single level.

The Arabs get billions in cash they use to bomb Israel, Raytheon gets paid to make interceptors to shoot those down, Israel gets bombed and blamed by useful idiots like you. Qatar, Russia, China, and Iran thank you for your service.
