I remain deeply fascinated by this, because I guarantee that other issues have come up that have impacted him, personally, as much (if not more) than a data center. It's like someone turned on the subtitles for policy implications--but only for data centers. Just data centers. Nothing else.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

What about data centers is making folks so mad they forget to even be racist??? Like??? Are the tech CEOs just this off-putting? Are we all just this exhausted of rich fuckers? I still want to understand.

People keep telling me "oh but they can see how this impacts them in their own backyard" and like I'm sorry but I live in rural Alabama, I can see how 8,000 GOP policy decisions impact all of us every day. But usually the white conservatives are selectively oblivious because (usually) racism.

I mean the answer really could be "the tech CEOs are just that off-putting" because they are even if you didn't spend the last week trying to dodge harry potter cult discourse like an Neo in the Matrix

Could it be that it is a big, physical, noisy thing? Like, you don't have to make any intellectual leap (low regs->polluted river). There is just a big hulking thing there. Like how they hate windmills

I think the thing that is making me go "????" is that I 100% get why the people who have had one built near them are upset. But what is making people mad about them BEFORE it impacts them personally? how is this spreading to groups of people who usually don't give a fuck UNTIL it happens to them?
