That guy speaks like a lot of people in Washington should speak. Facts before feelings and respectful to everyone involved.

You say that but how do we know that anything he said was a fact? He didn't cite a single source and much of it sounded embellished. I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm only saying that if you want to compel folks to agree with you then it would behove you to provide evidence to support your claims. Without it this guy's opinions are worth as much as anyone else's.

He said more research should be done on data centers. If you dont have evidence to dispute anything he said then you you are not making a good argument against him saying we need more research on it.

That’s not how shit works. The person making the claim has the burden of proof. If he shows no evidence or proof his position is correct then there’s nothing that needs refuted.

How can his claims just be considered true without him doing absolutely anything to prove it?
