I own data center stocks, but I think that politically this is poison going into the midterms. Republican candidates are running away from the issue.

Data centers are not evil entities.

It is just normal growth and ‘economies of scale’

the poison is the combination of ignorance and foreign propaganda

AI is happening and will continue to happen. It will not be stopped. The only unanswered question is...who will win the race,the US or Red China?

They use a lot of electricity and water. They make a lot of noise. IMO these things can all be resolved. And remember...Red China's leaders doesn't give a rat's hindquarters about power and water for their citizens,or about noise.

Built correctly, they are no problem.

Built like shit, they are.

Trump should appreciate that.

It’s the ones built like shit that have caused the complaints and thanks to those, it’s tainted the whole ball of wax.

The country is only half occupied . There are plenty of places to put these buildings if no one really wants any of them near them.

Basically because a huge swath of American voters are stupid and need to be told what they're supposed to love and hate.

It's awful when both parties have to compete to with the "stupid vote".

“end up being backwards and poor.”

I wonder if POTUS knows that’s just plain stupid.

If we didn’t allow railroads to use steam locomotives, think how many jobs we would have saved for horses.

If we didn’t allow the B&O RR to build bridges across the Ohio River, think how many jobs we would have saved for baggage handlers and ferry operators?

If we didn’t build out the interstate and US highway systems, just think how many railroad jobs we’d still have?

Only if the GOP continues to sit on its fat butt and lets the CCP-paid tools protest about these centers.

What I understand about situation. America needs data centers within its boards. Needs data centers which can be secured from foreign interference. Our military relies on AI and this is a national security issue.

Who has the most to lose if we build data centers? Who has the most to gain if we don’t build data center? Answer to both is the same; China.

Data Centers are fine— purchase available properties to build them, preferably in the ugly cities that will benefit most from them. Using eminent domain to take private rural property for them IS NOT OKAY.

there is nothing wrong with data centers or flock cameras.

All this is BS liberal talking points that are no different than calls to defund the police and to seize the assets of the rich.
