Understand that the anti-data center movement is, at its core, a deindustrialization movement. So of course China is pushing it.
The US is manufacturing, at scale, the most valuable resource in the modern economy: artificial intelligence. But already, the NIMBY/anti-AI coalition wants to offshore the means of production.
How did that work out for us when we moved the manufacturing of steel, electronics, and other critical industries to East Asia?
Well, it worked out great for China, but decimated America's Heartland.
Now notice the overlap between the regions hit hardest by the China Shock (chart I) in the 2000s vs. the areas where the data center buildout is currently strongest (chart II).
This is a great American comeback story, the hour of the Rust Belt's industrial renaissance. For the first time in decades, we have a chance to reclaim industrial supremacy in the very sector that will determine the future of the global economy.
These are the stakes, and our enemy understands them better than most members of Congress.
🚨 JUST IN: X has just rooted out a Chinese bot farm of 200,000 THOUSAND accounts influencing American politics, with hundreds of them running an influence operation against the construction of data centers in the US
The posts claimed that AI data centers "drive up household electricity prices" and "strain the grid"
"Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense."
"We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy."
Good! Purge them all! @elonmusk
Sharia law has zero place in the United States of America.
The Constitution does not protect using Sharia law to bind everyone else, control everyone else, or make it the enforceable law of the land.
Any effort to do so is utterly incompatible with the Constitution.
@JonathanTurley Hey, Abdul- WHAT IS YOUR PERCENTAGE OF WHAT I EARN? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO OR HAVE YOU EMPLOYED? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE MADE BETER BY KNOWING YOU? You're nothing but a power hungry, money-grubbing POS
Karen Bass is spending MILLIONS of your tax dollars paying the big-money law firm Munger-Tolles to fight Palisades Fire victims in court and block us from getting our insurance money? That's why we can't rebuild. It's time for Karen to stop the lawfare and settle the damn suit.
