US voters overwhelmingly oppose building AI data centers, with support collapsing across all demographics. A swift and massive shift in public opinion.
Problem is that usually the majority needs to get something out of things like this for that to work properly, IE who cares if they demolished black neighborhoods to build the freeway we got a freeway of out of it. That’s not happening with data centers, nobody gets anything out of them including the oligarchs since this shit is just a resource sink and one that may get them killed at this rate.
In the short term though - and that’s usually how these people with the mind-virus known as “MBA Brain” think - there is massive amounts of money being made on this.
Fair enough, I just don’t factor in short term unless the long term is accounted for. Maybe that’s why I always assume these people are fucking stupid.

MBA Brain usually tends to prioritize next quarter’s profits.
