🦔 The electrician shortage is becoming a "life-or-death" problem for AI data center construction, according to the IBEW. More than 300,000 new electricians are needed over the next decade to meet AI-driven demand, while 200,000 are expected to retire. Electrical work accounts for 45-70% of total data center construction costs. Microsoft says it's the number one problem slowing their expansion. Oracle pushed completion dates from 2027 to 2028 partly due to labor shortages.
Meanwhile, Gen Z is flooding into electrical apprenticeships. Applications for commercial electrical programs jumped 70% between 2022 and 2024. One training institute saw enrollment surge 400% in four years. Starting apprentices near DC make $26/hour and journeymen earn over $120,000 plus benefits, with overtime pushing some to $200,000.
My Take
Oh the irony. The same companies remaking white-collar careers with AI are discovering their growth depends on the generation feeling the most economic whiplash from it. Entry-level white-collar job postings have dropped by a third since 2022. More than half of 2023 college graduates are working jobs that don't require a degree. And now those same young people are being recruited to build the infrastructure that's disrupting their original career paths.
I'm genuinely torn on this one. The opportunities are real and the money is good. But if the AI bubble pops or even just cools off, a lot of these data center projects get paused or cancelled. That's how construction works. You've got hundreds of thousands of people retraining for a boom that assumes hyperscaler capex keeps growing for a decade. The skills transfer to other work, but probably not at $200k. I hope it works out for people making this bet. I just wouldn't build a 30-year career plan around tech companies' current spending projections.

@Narchist236 @ResistanceNewSA It looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet when your previous account got removed by @X last month ...hey @Narchist29 ??
You're one hateful individual and all your replies to various users just shows how your are consumed by satan and his demons. Peace be upon you. ✝️

@martinmbauer One day soon, you all will be able to ask Almighty God for the real answer about the Universe and why he decided to create the way He did.
English

@SteveNdukwu The only thing you exposed in this video, is your own racism. You can't build anything, so you want what they created.
Are you going to expose the "black only" SA goverment next, and ask them why there are 140+ race laws against these people??? Because that is why Orania exist.

@X1_EcoChain @AtomicWallet I don't have to imagine, because it actually happened!
The last time I was told by @AtomicWallet that "I'm holding my own keys and my own coins" they allowed my 0.9 BTC to be hacked and drained from my wallet...
So how about yoy f@ck off.

🔑 Imagine losing access to your digital assets because someone else held your keys. After all, not your keys - not your coins - That’s the risk with custodial services.
With X1 EcoChain + @AtomicWallet, you hold your keys - you hold your coins.

@GodPenuel @zoomafrika1 You will regret these words greatly one day. Almighty God is not to be mocked.
"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." ~ Romans 14:11

@zoomafrika1 Same place he is today: in people's imaginations.

@ChriscentU @usanewshq If you think, Jesus Christ is ONLY for a certain group of people, you are sorely mistaken. Do not let this hate fester in your heart, it is not what the Almighty wants for you.
Jesus died on the cross for all who believes in him - that includes Africans, Europeans, Asians - ALL!!
English

@usanewshq It shd only be built where he rightfully belongs, by his people, for his people. By that i mean Africa.
He never went to America, he knows no America, his family was not albinos like Europe’s people or Americans.

@elonmusk This will only work in some cases...maybe far into the future, but for now.. Financial systems, Medical devices, industrial controls needs predictable behaviour & auditable behaviour. E.g. Trading can't tolerate inference and neural rendering will drain batteries quickly
English

It’s an easy prediction of where things are headed.
Devices will just be edge nodes for AI inference, as bandwidth limitations prevent everything being done server-side.
X Freeze@XFreeze
xAI's long term plan is to be a edge node running AI inference to generate pixels and audio No more traditional OS or apps but just AI rendering everything directly

@TrevorSheatz Where exactly does the Bible say you HAVE to go to church?

Ah, but if JJ had taken his pay in Bitcoin along the way, he'd have ~2.6mm BTC, worth approximately...checks notes...$308 billion now.

🚨I’m looking for life advice:
I’m 22, graduating from college in 2 weeks, Bitcoin maxi, Christ follower.
If you could give me any advice, whether it’s financial, social, etc. What would you say to me as I enter this new chapter of life?
Whether it’s something you wish you would’ve done differently, lessons you learned, or a something you would go back and tell your younger self, I’d love to hear what anyone has to say.

ARE YOU READY TO BE CAUGHT UP?
7 Reasons the Pretrib Rapture Stands on Solid Ground
⸻
✅ 1. A Clear and Literal Rapture Is Taught in Scripture
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17
“The Lord himself will descend from heaven… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive… will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”
1 Corinthians 15:51–52
“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed… in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.”
John 14:2–3
“I go to prepare a place for you… I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”
▶️ The word harpazō (“caught up”) means to seize or snatch away suddenly. These are not Second Coming verses, but promises of a sudden gathering to Christ in the air—not on earth.
⸻
✅ 2. The Church Will Be Removed Before God’s Wrath Is Poured Out
1 Thessalonians 1:10
“Jesus… delivers us from the wrath to come.”
1 Thessalonians 5:9
“For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Romans 5:9
“Much more… shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.”
▶️ The entire 7-year Tribulation is the unleashing of divine wrath (Rev. 6:17 – “The great day of His wrath has come”).
⸻
✅ 3. The Tribulation Is the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” – Not the Church’s
Jeremiah 30:7
“Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.”
Zechariah 13:8–9
“Two-thirds shall be cut off… and I will bring the third into the fire… they will call upon my name.”
▶️ “Jacob” is Israel, not the Church. The Tribulation is a time of judgment and purification for the Jewish nation, leading to national repentance (Zech. 12:10).
⸻
✅ 4. The Church and Israel Have Distinct Identities and Roles
Daniel 9:24
“Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city…”
Romans 11:25–27
“A partial hardening has come upon Israel… until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
Ephesians 3:5–6
“The mystery… is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs… partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.”
▶️ The 70th week of Daniel is specifically for Israel, not the church.
⸻
✅ 5. Foreshadowed by Past Raptures and Removals Before Judgment
•Enoch walked with God and was taken (Gen. 5:24)
•Noah was shut in before the flood (Gen. 7:16)
•Lot was removed from Sodom before destruction (Gen. 19:22 – “I cannot do anything until you arrive”)
•Elijah was taken up to heaven alive (2 Kings 2:11)
•Philip was supernaturally transported (Acts 8:39–40)
•John heard “Come up here” (Rev. 4:1) — a foreshadowing of the Church being taken up
⸻
✅ 6. The Blessed Hope Is Meant to Encourage
Titus 2:13
“Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
1 Thessalonians 4:18
“Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
Revelation 3:10
“Because you have kept my word… I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world.”
▶️ Believers are not waiting for the Antichrist—but for Jesus Christ. The Rapture is called a “blessed hope”.
⸻
✅ 7. Early Church Fathers Alluded to a Pretrib View
•Irenaeus (c. 180 AD) — Against Heresies 5.29.1
“When in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, ‘There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning…’”
•Ephraim the Syrian (c. 373 AD) — On the Last Times
“All the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord…”
•The Shepherd of Hermas (late 1st or early 2nd century)
“If you prepare yourself… you shall escape it, and not be consumed by it.”

@bigmadredhatter Clearly you have learnt NOTHING! AND definetly have not read the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelations....because that is not the meaning of the statue and Daniel's dream.
Always interesting to see how people change the context of the Bible to suite their narrative.

@The_Reality_1 @RiebvJanbeeck Read again☝️..Creator of the Heavens and Earth...and created you.
"I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me." ~ Isaiah 45:5
I can quote several other Bible verses, but I truly pray you will find Jesus Christ!

@The_Reality_1 @RiebvJanbeeck Scientists are lying, yes.
You can call our 'genes' whatever you want. Science is nothing compared to the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.
English

@JH_STRYD @RiebvJanbeeck Then why do DNA tests show all people have Neanderthal genes?
Is DNA lying?

@The_Reality_1 @RiebvJanbeeck Evidence of what? God? Look around you, the evidence of Him is overwhelming, you just have to look around you.
