Today is a great day to remind everyone 🙂

🔥 And magically nobody is talking about them anymore. Keep talking, keep sharing

Texas Governor Greg Abbott was joined by Chabad Lubavitch yesterday and signed a proclamation endorsing Noahide Laws in Texas. He also celebrated the birthday of Chabad’s fake messiah, “the Rebbe” Menachem M. Schneerson, and told the rest of the state they should do the same.

They don't care about you. They only care about their paycheck and whoever's funding them.

Your city is about to give billions in tax breaks to a building with 30 employees. And they'll tell you it's "economic development." Let me be clear. I'm a nerd. I work with this stuff every single day. I use data centers. I understand their value. And I'm telling you this expansion is a problem. Data centers are popping up everywhere. Your local government is rolling out the red carpet for them with massive tax exemptions that last up to 40 years. Here's what they're getting. 37 states have passed laws giving data centers sales tax exemptions on everything they buy. 16 of those states have handed out nearly $6 billion in exemptions over the last five years. Here's what you're getting. A Microsoft data center in Illinois got $38 million in tax breaks and created 20 jobs. Twenty. A $1.4 billion data center in Liberty, Missouri, got $200 million in tax breaks last week. It will create 30 jobs. One county in New York offered $801 million in tax breaks for 125 jobs. That's $6.4 million per job. Now here's the part that should piss you off. A single data center uses as much electricity as 25,000 to 100,000 homes. Meta is building one in Louisiana that will use more power than the entire city of New Orleans. Another one planned in Wyoming will use more electricity than every home in the state combined. In Virginia, areas with heavy data center concentration saw electricity prices jump 267% over the past five years. One guy's electric bill went from $100 to $281 in a single month. And water? A large data center uses up to 5 million gallons of water a day. That's as much as a city of 50,000 people. Data centers in Texas alone are projected to use 49 billion gallons of water this year. Meanwhile, they tell you to take shorter showers and conserve during the summer. They tell you the power grid can't handle everyone running their AC at the same time. But a building full of servers that drinks more water than your entire town and uses more electricity than your entire state? Here's your tax break. Welcome to the neighborhood. 78% of Americans are concerned that these data centers will raise their energy bills. Community opposition has already blocked or delayed $98 billion in data center projects. This isn't a left or right issue. This is your community issue. Show up to your city council meetings. Push back before they break ground. Because once they're in, they're in for 40 years. Nobody is coming to save your town but you. They Both Suck.
