U.S. data centers require:
30x less water than U.S. golf courses.
100x less than California almonds.
200x less than U.S. home lawns.
2,500x less than U.S. crop irrigation.
Who is protesting almonds? Golf courses? Lawns? Nobody.
China does not feel threatened by your lawn.
For the people who suddenly learned about data centers in the last two weeks and have made it your mission to stop their development while still knowing basically nothing:
Congrats on falling for Chinese propaganda
Today my Committee heard testimony from @JamesOKeefeIII on something every American should be furious about: petition circulators paying homeless individuals cash, and even offering drugs, in exchange for voter registrations and signatures. Names and addresses of real registered voters were forged.
This isn't a hypothetical. It's happening right now and it has to change.
Jeff Bezos: "I've created $2.1 trillion of wealth for other people."
"Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they've created for other people."
While talking about his net worth, he floated an idea that flips the whole concept of a "rich list" on its head.
He did the math live, right there on stage.
"Amazon's market cap is 2.3 trillion today. I own about 200 billion of it."
"So if you take 2.3 trillion and subtract out the piece I kept for myself, then I've created something like $2.1 trillion of wealth for other people."
That's not a typo. Trillion, with a T and it's not even his money.
"That should put me pretty high on some kind of list."
He didn't stop at himself, either. He immediately named who else deserves a spot at the top.
"People like Jensen, Nvidia, he's going to be very high on that list."
"That would be a pretty cool list. Somebody should do that list."
“The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump." [...]
“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”
“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”
“I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”
“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”
“And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”
“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”
“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya just UNLOADED on the mainstream media for its endless hoaxes about President Donald Trump. Well said.
