So Iāve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the āData Center Plainsā looks like.š
My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. Thatās why 30+ data centers landed here.
Theyāre everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it.
And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland thatās been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites.
$7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely darkā¦
PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway.
A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid.
There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway.
A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall.
Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time.
This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.
My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents.
Data centers arenāt a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters
This is the truth about communism from someone living in communism:
- Regime leaders get rich and exploit the people
- No food (hasn't had eggs in a year)
- No freedom of speech
- No equality
"It just leads you to misery, harassment, hunger and anguish" - Man living in communism
I always felt like George Carlin was on the liberal side. Turns out I was wrong. He was right down the middle and found many issues on both sides. He had no problem calling it out. The man was brilliant and definitely ahead of his time. Too bad he wasn't here now. š„š¤£š„š¤£š„
This was the globalists plan all along!šš»Listen
Theyāve succeeded! Weāre seeing the effects of that nowā¦schools run by commies in most states⦠social media adding to that and MSM!
Wasnāt it Khrushchev who said weāll take you over without firing a shot?itās attributed to him.
šProhibition wasnāt about stopping people from drinking alcohol, it was about stopping farmers from creating their own fuel for their machines.

I thought it was impossible to generate a 23-minute TV episode in 4 days until I saw the workflow.
This crazy approach completely changes the way you create.
I broke down the entire process into 10 simple steps.

SOMEONE BUILT A MAP THAT SHOWS EXACTLY WHERE EVERY POWER PLANT, TRANSMISSION LINE, SUBSTATION & DATA CENTER SITS ON THE US GRID
all on one interactive map. all free
you can see how the grid is laid out... where the datacenters cluster... which transmission corridors carry the load... where the high-capacity connection points are
https://t.co/bRWJj6OA5P
zoom into any region and the whole picture comes into focus why energy costs what it costs, why data centers go where they go, why some states are power exporters and others aren't
this is the kind of infrastructure visibility that used to require expensive industry reports
now it's one tab
Good morning FOMO fam āļø
Hope you enjoyed yesterdayās live stream!
We had a blast building the Polymarket bot from scratch in one session š„
Over the next 2 weeks weāll be doing regular follow-ups ā tweaking the bot live and pushing it to actually make money in real time.
Quick question:

Iām making a single-player bodycam revenge FPS inspired by 90s Hong Kong action cinema
Iāve seen people say it feels too raw... honestly, I take that as a compliment. I always wanted it to feel like a real shootout slipping out of control
Better Than Dead is getting close to release
Have you seen all these fake Polymarket āscam botsā popping up everywhere?
Most of them are broken or straight up scams.
So I built a real one instead ā clean and profitable.
Just dropped the full build session where I made a Polymarket bot from scratch in one sitting.
Weāll be posting regular progress updates and follow-up videos on how the bot performs.

ā¼ļøAnother long term business is closing in Portland Oregon. This is what Hookset Automotive wrote about itā¦
THE GATES ARE CLOSED. THE DEAL IS DEAD.
Twenty years of loyalty. Twenty years of sacrifice. In 2002, we fell in love with Portlandās heart. We built Hookset Automotive with grease, sweat, and a belief in this community. I traded my dream of being an architect for an oil rag to build an honest business with my husband, JC.
We did everything right. Portland did everything wrong.
I didnāt just run a shop; I served. I led the Parkrose Business Association. I hosted town halls. I stood before the City Council and begged for the law to be enforced. I was trying to save Portland from becoming the next Detroit. I fought for this district until there was nothing left to give.
In return, the city turned on us.
ā¢Financial Extortion: The city didn't just lie; they taxed the shit out of us while doing so. They drained our resources with skyrocketing taxes while providing zero protection in return.
ā¢Betrayal: Mingus Mapps, who once ran Historic Parkrose, used our neighborhood as a political stepping stone to the City Council. He ignored our pleas while drawing a salary meant to protect our streets.
ā¢Slander: When I spoke up about the crime and the "Slough Town" gunfire, neighborhood groups responded with a smear campaignāspreading vile lies about my marriage to silence a woman asking hard questions.
ā¢Sabotage: Last week, our landlord illegally chained the gates shut while we were inside. We were held against our will. When we called 911, the policeāthe same officers I defended for two decadesālooked at us through the fence and called it a "civil issue." They went out of their way to make sure we didn't get help, even contacting the fire department to tell them not to interfere.
Your promise of protection was a lie.
We gave this city our lives, and it gave us a lock and a cold shoulder. We are closing our doors because the basic rules of a civilized society don't apply here anymore. The deal we made with this cityāthat if you work hard, pay your taxes, and follow the law, youāll be protectedāwas a total lie.
To our loyal customers: You were our family. We are devastated it ended this way, but we couldnāt have tried harder. We poured every ounce of our souls into this place, only to be abandoned by the city we tried to save.
Portland, you didnāt just fail usāyou threw us away. Keep your "weird." Weāre taking our integrity somewhere that actually values it.
The gates are closed for good.

They said AI would destroy art.
The new He-Man movie cost $200,000,000.
I made this in 5 days for $500.
Imagine what $199,999,500 could do for world hunger.
Just saying.
Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow reveals companies are using dynamic algorithmic pricing to charge Americans more based on your data
She says this is even being used to increase rents
- A $240 flight to Florida increased to $423 because you looked twice
- Uber pricing doubled because phone battery was below 20%
āUsually it's about 18 bucks, but oh, the app knows that your phone battery is low, so it's double the price.
Companies are using algorithmic pricing tools to study your personal data and charge you exactly what they think you'll pay.
This is called surveillance pricing, and it means that companies can charge you completely different prices for the exact same thing, and it's not just happening to consumers.
Some companies are now using similar algorithms to track workers and decide their wages, hours, and schedules, even their locations
ā My plan bans companies from setting personalized prices based on your data ā It protects all workers, including gig workers and contractors from algorithmic wage discrimination, and it cracks down on companies using these systems to coordinate things like higher rents and insurance premiums, because the economy shouldn't be a rigged game.ā
