We wrote this 18 damn years ago.
A script from episode 102 of Leverage with the dialogue for defense contractor Dufort:”You know the great thing about Congressmen? Fifty, a hundred  grand well spent will get one elected.Once they’re in, they have an incumbency rate of over ninety-five percent. You get, on the average, eighteen to twenty years of use out of one. (beat) In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.”

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.
