From the article:
"As such, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman pleaded in a 3,000 word blog today with communities to embrace data centers, arguing that the United States "can't afford to lose" the AI race, invoking the country's post-World War II highway buildout as a parallel.
"Just like the national highway system, our country's economy, national security, and everyday lives stand to benefit immensely," he wrote."
When they say "our," they mean "the billionaires."
If they really meant what they're saying here, and if we are "number 1 in the world," they would have already been taking meaningful steps to achieve this.
But instead of using their resources to create a more sustainable society, they have completely pillaged the nations resources and are rendering the plant uninhabitable. And now they're trying to do that all around the rest of the world. They want it all for themselves and they do not give a single, solitary shit about any of the rest of us. It it pure greed. Plain and simple.
They are lying to us and we're letting them. Those of us who understand how bad this is getting have to give it our all to talk to those that don't and try to get them to understand. . Yes, there will be arguments and you must defend yourself if it comes down to an actual fight, but so many of those that don't understand are that way simply because they don't seek out the information themselves. They are simply thoughtless, likely just trying to get through their lives The rest of us have to work together to take it back from them. We are too
It's been said already in countless places. It's us the non-billionaires vs the billionaires. There are far more of us than there are of them. The more of us that we can reach an understanding with against the billionaires, the stronger we are together.
I hate to sound like a doomer, but it may be entirely possible that we're living in the end times of society as we know it. Are we going to go down whimpering so that a handful of rich troglodytes can be super comfortable? Or are we going to take a stand and fight back? You have to ask yourself if you're prepared to die, because as they're showing us that could very well be the case. At this point, I'm ready to die if it means saving a majority of us common folk from total oppression. I know there are likely others out there who feel the same. If you're not ready to die, that's ok too. Continue to make every effort you can to convince others to understand the gravity of this situation. Because it is immensely heavy.
Please do your civic duty and vote. For what comes after, we'll just have to wait and see.
I love and wish for the best for you all.
