This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Shell made nearly $7 billion in profit in the first three months of 2026—double the previous period. BP's Q1 profits also doubled to $3.2 billion. While millions feel economic pain from the disruption of the Iran War, oil and gas companies are making massive sums of money.
