Every single time I try to do homework somebody has to interrupt and cause me to lose focus - because they need me to text them back, call them back, or talk to them- it is just to the point where I'm about ready to scream sorry I had to vent

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

JUST IN: Amazon will invest
$25,000,000,000.00 to build data
centers in Mississippi
@TukiFromKL

do you understand what $25 billion in Mississippi
actually means..
the poorest state in America.. $44,966 median income.. 28% of
children in poverty.. and Amazon just chose it for data centers.

$25 billion for 2,000 jobs. that's $12.5 million per job..
they didn't pick Mississippi to help Mississippi.. they picked
it for the cheapest land.. cheapest power.. and the most
desperate politicians willing to sign whatever Amazon
put in front of them...
cotton plantations came for the cheap labor.. factories moved
south for the no unions.. now data centers are coming for the
cheap electricity and the tax breaks...
the product changes every generation.. the extraction doesn't.

“Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”
