    I swear I read an article about this months ago… is it the same data center and they still didn’t stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?

    Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.

    One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.

      There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.

      It’s really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it’s enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.

      While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.

      They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply

        Blacks typically vote mostly for Democrats while whites typically vote for Republicans. So black neighborhoods are commonly not getting representation.

        Mississippi is about as Jim Crow as it can possibly be, so it doesn’t surprise me if white supremacist elected officials are pushed into office via gerrymandering, voter suppression and election tampering.

        The other side of the duopoly would be doing the same, they both need to be removed.

          People are downvoting because they can’t reconcile one side being better than the other with both sides being bad. Is sacrificing citizens for AI companies a partisan issue? Does the mainstream democratic party oppose the unsustainable construction of data centers and what happens to people near those data centers?

            The lesser of two evils is still evil

            The people might want to ask themselves about the illusion of choice. The duopoly never loses, it’s all a right wing con, the filthy rich are always in control.

            Maybe try democracy and vote for a different party…

                The only mention of a party named ‘reform’ I have previously heard of is in the uk, where reform is a far right party, the uk have multiple other parties, just as every real democracy does.

                The reform party in the USA apparently doesn’t even have ballot access. You have political parties that cannot be voted for? wtaf

                There are other options, but the USA is the least democratic ‘democracy’ that has ever existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States

                  I mean the voting system needs to be reformed. There is no reform party, and cannot be because the voting system allows for only two parties. If Tucker Carlson or whoever manages to create a different far right party that steals more than 5% but less than 95% of the vote from the current far right party, that’s bad for far right voters because the less right party will always come out ahead in major elections.

    Meanwhile if you put a couple of solar panels on your roof without filling out nineteen different forms in triplicate, providing a notarized drawing by a licensed architectural firm, paying $2000 in fees plus enduring the eleven month processing time, your local code authority will put a lien on your property and send a SWAT team to your house.

    Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.

    JC, every other post on here is about data centers, Elon Musk or White House legislation. Can’t we talk about technology instead of US politics?

      Don’t you want to know the every day drama slop? Do you want to silence the USA users that post slop drama ? Why don’t you do something? Are you anti-american? Why the fuck you are ? We should deport you or something. Like look what Trump is doing! Post something! Let users know what Trump did for the 1000000time. Don’t be anti-american, spam, spam slop, make them know! /j

      Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.

        To a proportionate degree yes, but AI is being shoved down the throats of workers and subsidized by the companies providing it too. I have some sympathy for the clueless grandma, or the person who’s genuinely lost their mind thanks to this.

          I have zero sympathy for the willfully ignorant. There’s more than enough information and evidence that this shit is horrible on many fronts, and anyone who has managed to ignore it is toeing into dangerously stupid territory. Making excuses for dumb assholes is how we’ve ended up with the stupidest cunts ever running things.

      Yeah it’s a class issue. Being white alone won’t get you in their club. But they also really hate darker skinned people and go out of their way to be extra shitty to them.

      The two things aren’t exclusive of one another.

    I have a suspicion they put the gas turbines near those communities specifically to fuck with them the same way they bulldozed poor neighborhoods for roads
