    The best part about data centers is that for the most part, they’re going to overpopulate in the Red states, and make those places miserable, while the Blue states become too hostile to build, heavily regulate them, or ban them outright.

    Let them suck the life out of states that deserve it.

      You know that a bunch of people who didn’t want to be were sent to those states and are stuck there right?

                You missed a major one. The Long Walk.

                I don’t think those people are going to be complaining about datacenters, given that they’re all long dead.

                  They have descendants. Quit playing dumb and fuck off with the casual minority erasure.

        I’m not even sure what you’re implying, but apparently it’s unpopular.

          I think they’re implying a violent authoritarian crackdown on anyone who doesn’t hew to the Trump Administration’s party line. Probably around the time that Trump refuses to leave office after the next presidential election. As nightmares go, that one isn’t quite as far-fatched as most of the world would like.
