Yea.. my super maga dad is all pissed off about data centers. Don't think it would get him to vote dem, but it did sway his primary vote towards an anti DC candidate.
It’s a majority hate line, regardless of party. There’s always that one voice arguing for in any feed, but with bots out on patrol that is expected.
I thought yall guys over there are all proud of how the US is the epicenter of the whole internet. Hmmm, I wonder, where said internet is hosted.
Most couldn't care less, and people like my dad has a rudimentary understanding of how the internet works anyway.
And the issue the US is having with data centers isn't generally with infrastructure like hosting ones, but the mass build out of hyperscale AI data centers with no regard to available power, water, etc.
