Description

Tucker Carlson recently confronted billionaire Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary about his massive 40,000-acre "Stratus Project" data center in rural Utah—larger than 2,000 Walmarts—which will require 9 gigawatts of electricity (more than the entire state currently generates) and produce heat equivalent to 23 atom bombs detonating daily, while O'Leary falsely claims locals support it based on a 3-0 county commissioner vote that ignored a town hall full of furious residents. O'Leary argues that Americans must accept total surveillance to "beat China" in AI, to which Carlson responds by noting that in 1940 it was not a crime to be Japanese, but in 1941 it was, proving that the definition of who is a "criminal" can change overnight—and that the data centers will turn the US into a panopticon without any of China's benefits. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger note that O'Leary and other tech billionaires are "in bed with China" despite pretending China is the enemy, and that the real purpose of AI data centers is to replace workers, surveil every movement, enable digital currency, and allow the government to shut off your car and freeze your bank account if you step out of line. The segment concludes that the only way to stop this is a worker strike—railroad workers, port workers, and truckers shutting down the economy—with a single demand: publicly funded elections with no billionaire or corporate money.

Before data centres exsisted we were told to conserve fresh water and if we didn't, we would run out and WW3 was going to be over water. So instead of telling us to turn the tap off while brushing our teeth, we build hundreds of massive data centres that consume more water than every human on the planet, everyday. Now we don't talk about water conservation.

Maybe it's time for the citizens to STOP pretending our elected officials are serving "We The People".
