It isn't just the fat bastards fault, it's the entire GOP. They have underfunded public education since the raygun era and have been trying to fund xtian private schools to further starve it. It's also why they've defunded PBS and other education-related resources. Having an ignorant and dumb population (think MAGA) makes controlling people much easier when the ability to think logically and to reason is lost. It makes people vote against their own self-interests which is why congress can continually vote for lower taxes on billionaires and against programs (Social Security, health care, education) that help the lower and middle classes.

This is interesting. Microsoft is currently preparing the site for a large data center on the border of my city and San Jose. In an area that has had power issues for years and is undergoing yet another dry winter. Will it actually get built and come online and, if so, will it be consuming an outsized share of resources such that we peasants revolt when we have brown outs when the summer temps break 100 or we have a cap placed on water usage? Stay tuned.

Near as I can tell is the only lesson learned was by investment bankers who promulgated that debacle and what they learned was they could lie, cheat, and steal all they wanted and the DoJ and SEC would not do a goddamn thing about it. In fact, they bank rolled firms deemed too important to the economy by subsidizing their losses with taxpayer dollars to prevent them from going under and no one went to jail. Cryptobros saw that and thought "I gotta get me some of that!" and so paid off trump and the GOP leadership to put themselves at the head of the feeding trough.
