I dont understand—once upon a time we had an essentially endless Internet & we did not need these atrocious DataCenters, yet now we supposedly need them when it is obvious Google/Technocrats have limited/censored the Internet to almost nothing. What *extra* Data are they storing?

A proposed data center in California's Imperial Valley would need 750,000 gallons of water a day. Satisfying the thirst of 24 more facilities expected to open in the state will be challenging, experts and officials say. (via @insideclimate) grist.org/drought/califo…

I do not understand what billionaires think the final outcome of all this is. If nobody has a living wage, they cannot buy your products, pay for your services, or rent the properties being owned and hoarded. At that point, does the whole thing not just collapse?

More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
NEW: Youth sports is now costing parents as much as $25,000 a year. Private equity and corporations are turning a childhood pastime into something only the wealthy can afford. Youth sports has become a $40 billion industry, and the steep costs are crushing American families.
