they voted for this
One day these companies will take everything away from someone who has nothing to lose. Remember killdozer, “Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things”.
Cannot wait for this AI bubble to pop as these corrupt politicians are so obviously doing this at our expense, while they pocket all the profit
Here’s the thing. The bubble will pop, people will loose billions, the prices of everything will go into flux, the economy will crash, and the people who still have enough money to make serious investments during that time will be able to buy so much more stuff simply because so much more will be for sale.
We saw it happen in 2008, we saw it happen in 2020, and it will happen again when the bubble pops, and we’ll just let the people who crashed the economy off the hook, and borrow more money from our future selves to pay them to fix it now.
well that doesn’t sound as good, i never even considered this to be a possibility, but thinking about it logically makes sense
Happens every time. Realistically, the only thing that would “level” the playing field is a complete collapse of all currency. Unrealistically, it could be leveled through progressive taxes on obscene incomes, a recurring tax of accumulated wealth over a certain value, and closing of tax loopholes.
Don’t forget how many good people will be left holding the bag due to their retirement funds being drained into that bubble while the elites cash out :( just like the 2008 crash this is just another pump and dump at our expense while the rich will make out like the robber Barron’s they are anyways
:( all of this is just awful, screw AI for real 😭
I keep seeing this story all over my news feeds and YouTube recommendations. Glad it’s being put out there, at least!
I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people’s land, essentially cutting these people’s property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can’t and they also can’t sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.
I believe they can sue though. Might depend on the law there but I was literally just watching a video of a lawyer going over what to do if your property is seized and or used in violation of your right to enjoy your property and there’s an avenue for land owners to sue.
Could also track down the CEO, trap them in their own dwellings, and set them on fire.
That requires slightly more work though
You never get the smell of burning flesh out of your nose.
The trick is to use a proper flamethrower. Then you don’t have to worry about being close enough to smell it.
Besides, it’s the skin hair and fat that smells bad, the muscle itself smells… Not good, but like… Not gross or anything.
Source of smell: accidents from my past.
It’s sort of the risk you take when buying a property with an easement though. Their realtor should have disclosed that.
If it wasn’t there when they bought it the utility company should have had to at least pay market value for the land.
I think in this case they are actually using eminent domain for it.
Basically they are reaching out to families, asking for permission, and then when denied that permission going through the state/town and getting permission that way.
The easement taking up half their land was the “compromise” that the utility company gave them, because they already had a notice/permission from the town/state on the entire property. They were going to have the line no matter what, it was whether the current owners wanting to have part of the property, or none of the property. its pretty sickening.
They’re begging people start using that shit for target practice.
Seen similar videos the people are fucked.
Land of the free
Wealthy free to prey on working class people. Working class free to scrimp and save to afford some land and then have it forcefully taken away.
soon be land of enslaved by AI
Came to post EXACTLY that. 🤣 👍
Remember that feelings of compassion should be contingent on the question: “Who do you vote for?”
It’s deranged to create a class of people that it’s okay to steal houses from and pollute the place they live no matter how they voted, actually
It’s wrong to steal people’s houses and to pollute the place they live, no matter who they voted for.
But I’ll be damned if I shed a single tear if these people happily voted in the regime which brazenly supports stealing people’s houses and polluting where they live.
You can still empathize with people who were uninformed and subsequently exploited / harmed.
Giving into the “me vs them” team mentality is giving the oligarchs exactly what they want: divide and conquer.
Greatest challenge of our time imo. I’m very, very pessimistic about it
They were informed. They were warned. They were told about “project 2025” and how bad it would be. They’ve been through one trump presidency. They knew what they signed up for.
My stance on trump voters:
If you voted for him the first time, you made a foolish/uninformed decision. But forgivable.
If you voted for him the second time, you’re a dumb person and I don’t trust you.
If you voted for him this third time, after the insurrection, after how horrible he has proven to be, fuck you. You’re evil. No pity from me.
Having a lack of compassion towards someone who voted for this getting their face eaten by leopards is not the same as approval of what’s happening. Are you able to discern the difference?
everything is “deranged” in this country, to be frank
I doubt who you voted for would have stopped this. AI is the new .com / housing bubble that every big company has to jump on board for.
On a federal basis, you are likely correct. On a local basis, I highly disagree. Many politicians in areas that are left-leaning are putting in place data center bans. Local elections matter.
When reached for comment the family said, “how could this happen to us? We’re not even trans?”
Have the day you voted for, know that you won’t be the last people in rural areas that this happens to, and that when the AI bubble pops you still won’t get the land back. It’s gone forever.
There is absolutely nothing in the article to indicate the family’s political leanings or how they voted.
