A small town in Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community.

The La Pine City Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project.

The proposal called for a massive 20-megawatt data center, which raised concerns among residents about energy use, water consumption, noise, and whether the project would truly benefit the community.

BlackRock and Palantir frequently appeared in local community discussions, even though the data center was being built by Boxminer.

@Timcast You believe we are going to vote our way out of this? Laughable!

If you think any politician can save our unraveling Democracy, then you are way overdue for some cognitive testing, Tim.

The fall of Portland, Oregon

Here are major retailers that left Portland over declining conditions due to Democrat policies from 2022–2026

Closed permanently because of 276 shoplifting reports in one year. They cited deteriorating public safety. Nike sent a letter to the mayor citing conditions

- Walmart (Both Portland Locations)
580 employees laid off

- Target (Three Stores)
Reason: Explicitly cited organized retail crime and shoplifting

- REI
Reason: Highest break-in rate in two decades; over $800,000 spent on extra security in 2022 (including multiple incidents, one with a vehicle through the doors on Black Friday)

- U.S. Bank (U.S. Bancorp Tower)
Announced it would not renew its long-term lease

- Starbucks
Closed at least 5–6 Portland locations in September 2025 alone.

@braedalibby @benz_judy47 @DeborahGall @WallStreetApes Oops. Too late.

[Kernel Moses @KernelMoses]

@benz_judy47 @WallStreetApes Hahaha,
Voting is to placate the masses.

Besides voting is how Oregon got in this mess. If you think a politician can save you you’re probably due for a cognitive test.

@WallStreetApes Those with upper middle class incomes in Portland have the highest combined income tax rate (federal, state and local) of any city in the US. Higher than NYC. Higher than SF.
