... Leon Trotsky appears to have vanished from the pictures altogether.

We've already seen those photos of you in your Audi R8.

Not a great place to work. The furniture flies around too much for my liking.

The reason some people hate data centers is the increased electrical demand that they produce and the resulting draw on limited resources and price increases that may result.

The media moguls of those days, Hearst, Pulitzer, Insull and others would be rolling over in their graves at the thought of plebeians having a voice that they, the elite didn't control.

Just think! Photovoltaics to collect power from the night sky. To power all the night time illumination. Infinite power!

Just like tax revenue. Let's get to work on it now.

For most of them you can. Absent some activity that causes the public harm, you can start a business "for any legal purpose". We don't require royal warrants in this country. No kings, remember?

Ice age is ending.

Something like this happened to my father when I was a kid. Go to Europe, lose your clearance. Of course, he could have gone into the private sector. Designing nuclear weapons for Elon Musk. :-/
