@TimInHonolulu Gen Z got their authoritarian dictators removed in Bangladesh and Nepal. If they can millions of Americans can band together, organize and remove the billionaires destroying your democracy.
The billionaires are building bunkers. Why? They are destroying the environment and democ
Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.
The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.
A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
Bill Gates is very interested in your water...
While no one was watching...Bill Gates, BlackRock & Nestlé have quietly teamed up.
- Gates is buying up huge tracts of farmland sitting directly over major aquifers (giving him control of groundwater).
- BlackRock is pouring billions into water infrastructure, utilities & water-related investments.
- Nestlé is extracting millions of gallons from drought-stricken areas to bottle & sell for profit.
- Their former CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe said, "water is NOT a human right."
Control the water → control the people. 💧
This is about ownership of the most essential resource on Earth.
US Representative Thomas Massie grills the American Senate over the Epstein Files cover up:
"Don't f*ck this bill up."
"If you are, you're part of the cover up."
"Anyone who went to rape island needs to be behind bars. Even the billionaires"
Hey, @TorontoStar, if you're censoring and cancelling really important Canadian voices like @supriyadwivedi can you tell us who else you're muzzling? Also, please offer a credible case for why a I should continue to subscribe to a 'newspaper' that muzzles important Canadian columnists?
We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
