The Trump regime is the private equity of government. They will sell off all they can and profit themselves before they are kicked out.

The advocates for data centers say they are investments by capitalists in a capitalist society and that’s what we should allow. But here they’re going to get subsidizes by being put on public land. Suggests that they really don’t have strong economic/capitalist fundamentals

12 proposals. 6 states. Before handing huge chunks of public land to the AI industry, maybe the public should get to see the deals, the water demands, the energy costs and who's actually getting the benefit.

Nobody wants the data centers and we certainly do not want them corrupting our public lands.

And those tards call you a CCP or a commie if you oppose them being built. What they don’t realize is that their demented fool of a president is literally implementing communist practices lol.

Don the con polluting our states all to benefit the Trump Family Empire! None of this benefits Americans in any way! Why aren't the billion dollar corps paying upwards of .40 kWh ?? Instead they pay less than .07 per kWh and Americans are paying the bulk of the tab. AS USUAL!!!

On public lands? I'm not against data centers, but I also don't want them to get special treatment if other commercial buildings don't get the ability.

Florida Big Ag is frothing at this. Big ranchers are entering local races, using their “conservative” values and controlling land deals and all of Florida politics. Wolves in sheep’s clothing are worse than the ones we know hate us.

Prometheus Hyperscale filed three BLM rights-of-way in Wyoming for an access road, a telecom line, and a water pipeline. The related private campus is off I-80 Exit 13 on County Road 180. That ROW belongs in a Q1 civil package. If you leave it inside the data hall bid, the slab waits on BLM.

Here we go. "Oh, you're gonna fight data centers? We'll just hand over public land. Stop that, losers!" The most undemocratic, "whatever the fuck serves Dear Leader" administration in US history. Grotesque.

Trump is building the data centers to support the invisible prison he is currently building around Americans. You think flock cameras are bad? Wait until there are drones recording every move we make & every word we speak.

Pretty much the Data Center version of the Kennedy Center debacle. "Look what you're making me do. You should have done what I said." Now imagine what happens when elections don't go as ordered...
