Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.

"CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUMTo: GOP Candidates & PolicymakersFrom: Tony Fabrizio, Fabrizio LeeDate: September 14, 2026Re: Neutralizing Political Attacks on AI Data-Center Development Through Enforceable ConditionsThe problemUnqualified support for building more AI data centers is a losing position. Voters oppose additionalconstruction by 41 points—65% opposed to 24% in favor—and intensity runs the same way: 44% stronglyoppose, against 9% who strongly favor.[1] Opposition crosses every line. Republicans are net −4,independents −49, Democrats −73, generic-ballot undecideds −41, and 2024 Trump voters not currentlyvoting GOP −43.[2]That gives an opponent a factual foundation and the intensity to define the issue first. The dangerous attack isnot about artificial intelligence but about household cost: enormous power consumption, higher rates forfamilies and small businesses, a strained grid, scarce water, communities absorbing the costs—and largetechnology companies keeping the benefit. Innovation, investment, competitiveness, and jobs do not answerit, because none establishes who pays.The openingVoters are not against data centers in all circumstances. They are against data centers built on someone else’stab with no conditions. Asked to choose among unrestricted construction, construction with protections, andoutright prohibition, 61% choose conditions—against 28% who would ban them altogether and 7% whowould allow them wherever local officials approve.[3] The tested conditions require the company to meet itsown electricity needs, protect ratepayers from higher bills, and protect water and environmental resourcesnearby.Voter group Net support forbuild w/ noconditionsAllow with conditions ProhibitAll registered voters −41 61% 28%Republicans −4 66% 20%Independents −49 62% 27%Democrats −73 55% 37%Generic-ballot undecideds −41 52% 36%Persuadable independents −45 62% 27%2024 Trump …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlan7kocyn37uzb25btjt2cc/bafkreiaplprhx7fsanrg2e37lh56h7x47vfn3pbzxmik6c4nobpzlfddha)
