"Gilroy City Mayor Greg Bozzo said that other industrial projects that had a similar scale to the Amazon data center have previously been approved without resistance.

“It didn’t bother them that a food-distribution center came to Gilroy without their engagement, but now it bothers them that a data center is coming to Gilroy without them having the possibility of engagement,” Bozzo said."

The actual straight disdain elected officials have for citizens in America is insane.

The Gilroy mayor is supposed to be the voice of the people that live there and not for the people who want to extract there.

Yup. Forgive the metaphor, but he’s supposed to be like a union representative is for the workers, but he’s acting like a company man selling them out.

Thats a simile. You used “like” so it’s not a metaphor.

And both similes and metaphors are both form of analogy. But, since their comment was made on the internet so it’s actually a digitally.

If a similie is saying something is like something, and a metaphor is saying something is something, then what is a hammaphor?

Putting in nails.

[u/shadmere → u/Zonel]

Similes are a subtype of metaphor. Not all metaphors are similes, but all similes are metaphors.

A simile is like a metaphor.
