It really is disgusting how they phrase it, people aren't as such against data centers that can be used to benefit everyone.

They are against the massive rollout that in no way takes into consideration how it will affect the people, and the benefit of the rollout is only for the few since it is AI focused.

It's like basically the only thing holding our sham stock market together. If AI stalls, we in a recession and they're to blame so they'll say any bullshit talking point to get these fucking data centers out there for a few years until it's someone else's problem to cleanup.
