Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, itโs raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please donโt tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

Chicago ICE agent assaults a teenager for pointing out that his car illegally has no license plate.
Why aren't state officials doing anything about ICE breaking the law?
Why do the citizens have to obey laws when ICE doesn't, when Trump doesn't? The social contract is broken.
BBC isnโt backing down.
Trump sued them for $10 billion, which means discovery cuts both ways. Now the BBC wants his phone logs, private schedules, daily diaries, and communications from November 2020 through January 20, 2021.
They arenโt just defending the case. Theyโre asking a simple question: did their documentary damage Trumpโs reputation, or did January 6 do that all by itself?
Lawsuits open doors, and discovery is fair game ๐ฅ
- Apple price increase
- Steam Machine being expensive
- Xbox price increase
- GTA 6 being 80 USD
- people being unable to buy SSDs and RAM
all of these are tied to one thing btw:
Sam Altman
you donโt hate this guy enough
Itโs time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers.
They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth itโs creating.
Until those running the big LLMs understand this and start a community tour, not to explain the benefits of AI, itโs too late for that, but to help towns and cities that may be impacted by job losses (and Iโm a believer their will be a net gains in a few years), this battle is only going to get more intense and let me tell you now , no matter how much money you pay to buy politicians and races, you will lose.
One thing I have learned is being hated is not good for business.
How can they help ? They will tell you. You will need to do what they ask. Billions of dollars is a lot of money across towns and city programs. Across the major LLMs, itโs a cost of doing business.
At the same time, I would go to LA and NYC and ask the arts and creative unions what kind of programs would help and protect their artists. DO NOT GO TO THE MUSIC OR FILM COMPANIES. that will make it worse.
Donโt try to pay famous people to endorse what you are doing. Thatโs dumb.
Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say.
The big LLMs have lost the PR battle. Why ? Because they all suck at putting people first. They have an SV attitude that makes them all think they are John Galt saving the
world
Given the number of data centers and power that is needed, today and going forward , If you donโt kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
