China is not putting moratoriums on data centers. The race for super intelligence needs to be won by the USA or our country and democracy will be at risk.
@AOC@GovKathyHochul AOC successfully steered thousands of Amazon jobs away from the city and now supports a moratorium on data centers that would bring significant tax revenue to New York
Quite the track record of value destruction

NYC’s median one-bedroom rent just hit a record $4,000, up 54% over the last decade.
Rent control helps the lucky few who already have an apartment.
Everyone else competes for a shrinking pool of housing at ever-higher prices.
Four churches have burned down in New York since Zohran Mamdani took office. Yesterday alone, two churches were set on fire.
Imagine if it were mosques. He would be crying Islamophobia and declaring a state of emergency.
But since it’s churches, he hasn’t said a single word.
How to destroy a city.
Win an election by promising half the tenants frozen rents paid for by increased rents on the rest of the city’s tenants who often live in the same buildings with their subsidized neighbors. Pit neighbor against neighbor.
Create a city hostile to developers of apartments eliminating the potential for new supply.
Freeze rents so it is cheaper not to rent the apartment than to spend the capital required to renovate and rent it, shrinking the supply further.
Place all of the increased burden on the unregulated, market-rate tenants and the owners of buildings with no market rate apartments that can’t raise rents forcing them into foreclosure and the buildings into disrepair.
That’s all you need to do.
@TheAliceSmith I read the Declaration of Independence out loud today with heartfelt conviction.
It is a work not just of genius, but also of a purity of soul that resonates to this very day.
@Blaine1307 Losing alot of chances at business opportunities back home after your football career ends. You should have bank so won’t matter, but a lot of guys who move away to play ball say that it was a mistake.
