A district in Indiana approved a $26M tax break for a data center to move in. The glorious tax break of $26M added 30 jobs to the district. Not 30,000; 3,000; or 300 jobs. Just 30! These people are about to get wrecked with energy bills because of this data for a whopping 30 jobs. 😆

They aren't just building these data centers to better sell you stuff. They are also building them so Peter Thiel's Palentir can better send the gestapo to your house to drag you away in the dead of night to Alligator Alcatraz for thought crimes.

Stupidity and greed are rapidly destroying our country for the benefit of billionaires. And it is the little people who always pay.

Crimes against your children, crimes against humanity, grand larceny on a state level - and they make YOU pay for it all. How is this happening?
