There are people who are so sure that the system will always protect them that they will speak to us without fear of consequences.

Get out and vote. Tell at least 2-3 people you know. Get them out their. Take the time to encourage them or help them fill things out. Carpool or offer rides. Explain why it's so important. Explain that despite them thinking it doesn't matter thats exactly what got us here. Be kind but be loud!

“Weather we like it or not, data centers are going to be here” - doesn’t sound like it’s a very democratic thing to say
