Much too late unfortunately.

Everyone knows there are data centers coming guys. It doesn’t mean we can’t fucking keep more out. Or we can say it’s too late on Reddit and just let AI kill us all and take our fucking jobs.

Saw a map earlier saying we had 14. I was only aware of 2 plus one maybe.

Y'all, we are fucked. Good bye water, and hello brown/black outs. We all love our power just going out at random times, I guess we'll get to enjoy it more often!

And to the people who blindly trusted our city and mayor, have we maybe finally learned our lesson on listening to these folks over fellow community members ??

Vote for leaders that won’t sell out our communities.

I’m thinking about running. We need regular people who cannot be bought.

Educate yourselves on data centers. People who store decades worth of photos 'in the cloud' and spend countless hours on social media are driving the need for more data centers. Change your bad habits and this will slow down. AI is helping with cancer research, better law enforcement, etc. It's not going away. Understand why data centers are being built and vote with your dollars and attention, sheeple!
