his AI data center thing is the latest moral panic. Few really cares much about the water use or incremental increase to electricity costs... certainly not enough to become activists and start recall campaigns.

This tells me you live in an area that is not attracting data centers.

Most of my family live in such areas. A significant portion of the population already live paycheck to paycheck. People have been hit hard by the higher inflation over the past 4 years since wages are not keeping up. Small increases to utilities is actually a very big deal when it's something that is not necessary to day-to-day life.

People do what they can when food goes up because it's a necessity. AI is a luxury item, so when people who are less likely to benefit from AI data farms are the ones getting hit with "incremental" cost increases, they abso-fucking-lutely care.

It's not about job replacement, it's about squeezing more money out to the "1%" at the expense of the working class.

None of that is true. Grow up and learn how to understand and rate journalism. Start with Appling the spj code of ethics to media.
" Anyone who defends that is off the deep end self-deluding and in full on denial of reality. "
So you post a factual incorrect statement then call anyone with facts delusional. JFC, take some actual media course. Like, in a class room.

He's incapably of learning. I don't thing he has learned anything since 1980.

OFFS lease stop lying. You wither didn't read it, or didn't understand it.
Some of us remember when he was alive, and read went o to study him.
If you actually know what you were talking about, you would understand the difference between Marxist communism and socialism.

Liars like you have become tiresome.

No, you did not. Yor just making things up becasue you are likely functionally illiterate, can'[t hold complex thought or idea, and have no clue how to admit you are wrong. I pity you, Because your are embarrassingly wrong.

That's actually not true at all. Please tell me how many American FDR called evil? Literally one of the, if not the most socialist president whose social programs led to American become a technological and industrial power house.

American modern conservatives primary planks are to take rights away from marginalized group; which s fucking evil.

Get over yourself and read some books.

'Lot of money'. Not really. Historical what they do give is pretty divided, depending on the actual issues.

Your kink actual shows it is. The lawsuit is BS, like most Trumps lawsuits. He is trying extort them is get their companies to kiss his ass and not say anything against them. The is SOP for Trump, going back to the 90s.
This is actual censorship by the governemnt.

Easy to say now. Not such an easy decision as a 17 year old.

If only I could go back in time and give that advice to my high school self...

I was still 17 years old when I started university and emotionally immature. It would have been nice to have a bit of a "get out of jail free" card for those first few months as I acclimated to independence.

I'm sure at least 80% used it without knowing.

I don't watch much tv but have OTA. The commercials are of 4 sorts. 1) prescription drugs. 2) investing in gold. 3) shriner's hospital or abused animal foundation requests for money. 4) lawyers for mesothelioma.

Here in georgia, which is a battle ground state, they've made it more difficult to vote, especially in urban areas. Even though it's a purple state, state government heavily controlled by Republicans. State government controls the voting and they've done plenty to dissuade turnout from traditional Democrat voting regions.

Start placing bets of undesirable things happening to the execs of these companies. Maybe that will urge some guard rails to be implemented.

Freedom fries. Liberty cabbage.
