Good!
Remember how Amazon had cities compete to host data centers pre-pan and they were full of shit because they weren't the economic uplift they promised? It happened. You can find it if you search. I'm old and it's getting late for me, so you'll have to find it.
It's not a secret. It's kinda like how that shitty town in Wisconsin (I think?) city council ignored their constituents about a Foxconn factory that doesn't make the shit they said they'd make. Trump lied about it in his first term. Why bother now, you can just lock up your enemies.
There was a great podcast ep about it from Reply All before they went out of business for some terrible (allegedly) work practices. The townsfolk were pissed off.
Conservatives and centrists learning from mountains of readily available information, about events that often happened within their own lifetimes? Good luck with that, and I really do mean it because we need it.
I thought my mother was a rube when she voted for Trump the first time. I was angry when she voted for his the second time. I decided our relationship was over when she voted for him the third time.
You have to be willfully ignorant or a piece of shit to not know at this point. I hope she's the former. I'll keep hoping until the end of my life, because she's not a part of my world any more.
