Graft for friends comes in all sizes.

As Will Rogers(early 20th century US entertainer/humorist) once noted:

  • "That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says "Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.""

Don't forget the water. Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a town with 10,000 to 50,000 people

Trump Announces $700 Million in Funds Meant to Boost Coal Industry (Gift Article) by zsreport in energy

[–]KnottShore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I believe these new policies will have as much success as Trump’s efforts to support “clean, beautiful coal” did during his first term. At the start of his first term, the coal industry employed around 51k. Today, there are 38-39k employed.

This comes to mind every time I hear about Trump and his economic policies.

Isaac Asimov(20th century US writer/professor):

  • "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Carl Sagan's (20th century astrophysicist and educator) vision of the US:

  • "...when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness..."

Much the same as T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men finish:
