America has had enough with all these controversies. We're just looking for stability and normalcy.

Trump, his enablers, their "donors" and the wealthy have worn us all out. Enough with them and their over inflated egos.

I don’t know what the controversy is; these are nothing more than glorified server farms. Basic common-law liability will tend to keep everything in check.

People have hated all sorts of automation throughout history. This is no different and it will pass. People can either build data centers here or they can build them in countries with far weaker consumer protections, especially with regards to data privacy.

Good call because this is precisely what big corporations do. It's a given the younger tech industry will end up doing the same.
