@SKleefeld@retro.pizza This is the way. Considering how many countries have nukes, and how many nukes they have, the fact that we haven't seen nukes used in anger in approaching a century means that sabre-rattling is an accepted and effective political strategy. So yeah, let the unnamed data center minions see what that data center might personally cost them. Besides, I'm sure their bosses will give them a bonus for being scared while on overtime. Billionaires are known for their compassion.

@SKleefeld@retro.pizza Data center assholes offering 44x the local price for an acre of land. They really want to build these data centers. And if they get built, how much will these assholes pay for electricity? How much will they pay for water? Will they pay 44x the local rate? Guess you don't get power or drinking water, friend. Lol - they call this the "free market" because you're free to pay as much as a billionaire can afford, or go without. https://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/articles/data-center-developers-offering-4-133900377.html

@grumble209@kolektiva.social @SKleefeld@retro.pizza Fear is a powerful motivator, probably the only motivator for amoral individuals that can outweigh greed.
