@rwsscott@christopherrufo Nah...
There are people who understand that "wealth" for the 0.1%, which changes by BILLIONS daily, is a meaningless term.
Then there are people who use "wealth" as a weapon, attacking the nation's biggest builders to push radical & unjust taxes.
You seem the latter.
@JonStrice@christopherrufo Sure, but inflation is not the same as government taxation.
It is a really easy jump from 'The bottom half shouldn't pay taxes' to 'The bottom half doesn't pay taxes, so why should they have a say?'
The argument is basically that small town America should want to be large town America.
No thanks.
I don't want skyrocketing utilities, the landscape destroyed, and outsourced employees.
That isn't a benefit to me or my community.
Brookings Institution: "New Evidence on Data Center Employment Effects" (2024)
https://t.co/p5YzhxZ7bJ
2,000-4,000 total jobs per county from a single large data center (5-6 years post-entry)
+11% construction employment boost
+22% Information sector employment (IT/telecom/software ecosystem effects)
+4-5% total private employment
Uses synthetic control method on 770 data centers across 93 counties — real causal analysis, not just correlation
@CeciliaGlennon@Peoples_Pundit It is an outdated metric, but that doesn't change the fact it is not an apples to apples comparison.
"Views" on the other hand is a completely meaningless metric.
@BreitbartNews@AngelStudiosInc running the Yellowstone playbook. Capture conservative audiences with faith and family… then slowly inject the woke nonsense once they’re hooked.

🚨TODAY: The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias published a report detailing how the Biden Administration’s prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government.
The report details the Biden Administration’s radical efforts to punish Christians and highlights @POTUS’s efforts to restore religious liberty.

@SageOfTheMtn@JoforOregon@paulsperry_@TinaKotek@ChristineDrazan I don't have a dog in the fight, but Drazan appears to be the only one running with any sort of chance to win.
If it is between a liberal progressive or almost ANY Republican, I think the choice is easy.
