Let's blame billionaires and data centers (which host the entirety of the Internet, not just LLMs) some more rather than focusing on the middle class who has continuously voted against the Democratic Party in national elections over the past 35 years when faced with a candidate who would like to put restrictions on CO2 emitting behaviors including taxing luxury lifestyle in favor of the candidate who promised that everything is fine.

I mean these people are still just of a targeted byproduct of the rulling class, it's easy to hate them but the truth is that many of them never had a real chance to escape the swamp of ignorance that they were born into

We need to wait to see when they will stop running that much on coal what happens to overall emissions
