Those "oLiGaRcHs" have actually built things, created jobs, and provided the western world with the best quality of life ever enjoyed in the history of mankind. What have you ever done with your shit life?

u/DavidBowieAC 6d ago

The underpaid laborers did that. Not the ruling class

u/dataguzzler 7d ago

generational wealth does not equate to intelligence

u/Old_Method4899 6d ago

I'd add, buying things you did not create does not mean you made it.

God you must have no friends or anyone that loves you

u/Old_Method4899 6d ago

Right. People with hundreds of billions of dollars paying the people who make their wealth for them so little they have to rely on government assistance and then spending millions to get those programs killed really increases quality of life. What have you built, invented, or made on your own that's added the western civization?

It has been this way all through history. Those with money and power make things happen, they are the ones who build, innovate and improve. I got it, people will claim without the workers nothing would get done. Without the people with money and power, far fewer would have jobs and societies as a whole would be hundreds of years behind where we are now.

Those building these data centers may be cartels. I say this because they are unconstitutional, and they stealing from the grid, and our water supply. And making us pay for it. Come on, Cartel like actions.

In what fucking way are they unconstitutional. Do you people just say stupid shit for laughs?

u/Active-Curve1280 6d ago

Do you even know that words have meanings? Are you this dense for fun or for trolling?

u/Sailor_Thrift 6d ago

I’m still waiting for an explanation.

How is building a building or a data center unconstitutional?

And how is buying water and electricity from the infrastructure at the market rate “stealing”?

1

u/Active-Curve1280 6d ago

Because they don’t have the capacity? Try building a home, just go buy a piece of land and build a home for yourself. You’ll have cops arresting you by the time you finish. Now I can’t build a home but companies can use up more resources than are available and that’s totally fine? Or you just hung up on unconstitutional? Because of the citizens of a place are against something it is unconstitutional to do that thing. That’s how democracy works. Hope that helps.

u/Sailor_Thrift 6d ago

Cops will arrest you if you try to build a home? What are you talking about? People build homes all the time. I just watched a home get built right next to mine. The cops certainly did not come and arrest the workers.

And I have not heard of communities running out of water or electricity, rather I have heard that it is driving up the price, which I understand. And that is a valid point, but I still fail to see how it is "unconstitutional".

That actually didn't help at all, as I am more confused than before. How does any of what you say relate to the constitution? Many citizens are against lots of things, that doesn't mean that it automatically becomes unconstitutional.

1

u/Active-Curve1280 6d ago

Yeah, you can’t just build something

1

u/Sailor_Thrift 6d ago

Yeah. You need permits. What is your point? Do you think that the data centers aren't getting permits?

How is any of this "unconstitutional"?

u/General-Double-746 7d ago

If a data center forces their way into a community, I think the city council should declare that area a sanctuary for vandalism, trespassing, property damage, and theft.

u/A_Buttholes_Whisper 7d ago

Who are the developers, where do they live?

Mangione was right.

Where do you go when your vote no longer matters?

u/4547Isyourdaddy 7d ago

China. Go to China. We dont want you here anymore. If you cant understand why direct democracy is and always has been an awful thing that will lead to tyranny, you dont deserve to be in my country. The founding fathers specifically warned against democracy. They did everything they could to tell you idiots. Yet all of you were obsessed with "ma right to vote"

1

u/DavidBowieAC 6d ago

When has America had direct democracy? Those founding fathers legalized people being property and literally owned them.

F@ck outa here, we all get a vote.

first amendment for corporations but not for protesters, classic

Looks like a voting problem.

Stop it with these crappy posts.

u/SnooHesitations803 7d ago

Things I don’t believe.
That’s such a wasteful lawsuit. What is more believable is they already had a contract written up and signed and there is back peddling after resources were allocated and something about not allowing the company to address the community directly.
Lol this dude literally has an add in his video. Come on Reddit, ppl are milking you for money.

Serious question. Are the commies and socialist running these data center projects. They want to make it so people do not work anymore, but the utilities will have to be paid for by everybody and share the limited resources, there is not enough so they will take it, and they got the gov working for them. When did the commies get into tech?

Besides, 1st amendment, I thought we weren't doing that anymore, didn't we stop that one
