Shouldn’t have voted for a guy who fucked you in the ass and then immediately shoved his cock in your mouth afterward. And that was his first time.
Fuck you rural America. Enjoy this, you wanted it. Your neighbor that posts AI slop of president trump “owning the libs” is this. I want your town to have the maximum amount of pain you wanted for minorities
You voted for running the country like a business, you get businesses in your back yard.
A business is under no obligation to ensure that employees in underperforming departments get the star treatment. If agriculture-oriented rural towns generated as much money as grifting the stock market with AI does they’d be treated accordingly. As it is they’re a cost center and will be neglected or cut entirely.
That’s not how a country is usually run but for a business it’s very much on par.
If rural America weren’t such terrible people, I’d have pity.

Because none of the pollution or impact of these datacenters will ever impact anybody else, the heat knows every single one of those rural americans is a fascist and will exclusively make their lives worse, leaving those civilised people that live in the cities unharmed. /s
Literally the same attitude as “I dont care about climate change, if the sea level rises I’ll be fine because I don’t live near the coast.”
You can care about minimizing data center construction because of pollution etc., and not give a shit about people that it coincidentally affects in a more direct way than you. These are not mutually exclusive opinions.
Good thing rural data centers are only used for mass surveillance and data-collection on rural Americans.
As long as we keep the urbanized AI data centers out of the cities, we should be good.
Look, absolutely fuck them rednecks but that’s not how it works. Well, I guess states could have their own ‘great firewall’. But as long as traffic cams, flock, ble scanning beacons and satellites exist its not looking great
I’m pretty sure you dun wooshd
They voted for this.
Generally I agree with this sentiment, but did either American party campaign for AI data centers and/or technological deregulation in 2024? I suspect Trump may have, but I kind of doubt it. I always thought the Dems were the ones who wanted to push the tech industry. Now I think both of them do (maybe different companies/industries but they both wanna cash those checks).
They voted for billionaire rule. Many even said they want a Republican dictatorship.
Specific quote:
“American companies have long taken advantage of these trends. A leaked report from the 1980s, which was prepared for a waste-management company seeking a community for “locally undesirable land use,” listed the “least resistant personality profile” as: “longtime residents of small towns in the South or Midwest,” “conservative,” “Republican” and “advocates of the free market.””
Since Reagan it has been one of the Republican pillars that businesses should have no regulations, taxes, or standards of any kind. They will of course break from that position when they see an opportunity to screw over a minority or attack a business they don’t like for some reason, but otherwise yes ask your average Republican if some business regulation (or regulatory agency) should be repealed and they almost always say yes.
The biggest surprise at the moment is actually that many of the voters are turning against the data centers, although I suspect the majority of them would still oppose any kind of regulatory attempt to block them.
Seems to me this is happening in red states a whole lot more. But what do I know.
Replied to wrong comment.

You should consider this a win. All the channels of news and “truth” they’re seeing are hijacked. The fact that this concern is cutting through is a ray of hope that maybe they’ll start to see some of the other horrible crap going on around them and in part based on their voting decisions.
-“rural American” that’s constantly looking around going “wake up! You’re being lied to!”
Good as that may be I will never forgive those people
They are worried the cost of bottles of vodka and oily rags will cut into their free spending money.
Guess they will now learn the true meaning of FAFO
Thought the grifter in chief was doing that.
