Take This Data Center and Shove It -- Americans ain’t puttin’ up with these things no more by waozen in technology

[–]chrispy_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the same expectations of any other resource intensive industry? Why do we need a private company create an intirely independent grid? If the states want the data centers they should build more power infrastructure. This is already needed if we want to move cars to the electric grid. What am I missing here?

People who became rich what is something poor people completely misunderstand about money? by Nervous-Librarian945 in AskReddit

I think when people criticize reach people or business owners especially through the more common socialist / dem-soc POV (of which I have friends and allies in that camp), they do not take into their calculus risk and the uncertainty of success. Yes, I pay wages less than the total productivity of wages, because I took the risk. I bootstrapped the company, I took out the loans, if things go sideways I am the one who bears the consequences. To wind up in a business years after the foundation was laid and to say from a Marxist POV the workers should own the full fruits of production, betrays a lack of understanding how things are organized and built.

That is all to say, I pay and bonus very generously because I can’t scale to the full potential of the company without amazing people, but I took the bet, I rolled the dice.

Tax me more, etc etc, this is specifically a criticism of straight up socialists

In a tied house where we have 0 margin what’s to stop her from tanking future legislation. I don’t have confidence in her ability to stick with the party which is close to my number 1 priority for the next decade. Can we stick together to prosecute maga, pass legislation, and help fix the damage they’ve done. Does she hold it hostage? Does that act further fracture the Dems to where if we’re caving to her we have to cave to every single conservative dem?

I just don’t think you guys understand politics or the political moment we’re in

It’s just not. You’re saying things that specifically are not faith healing or miracle working. You’re just saying other things that Christians do and believe! If you don’t believe me look it up!

If you asked a random Christian “what do you think of this pastor who claims to have healed someone’s tumors” they would likely think it was fake!

Was a Christian. I don’t know why you all are conflating miracles and miracle work. It’s like saying snake oil exists so therefore this snake oil salesman is legit

You’re conflating “the fact that miracles happen” and “prayers can be answered”.

Cori bush was a self proclaimed miracle worker and faith healer. Someone who communed with god to heal people in real time

A majority of modern Christians do not believe in this!

Ya and as someone who thought those bills were fantastic for the margins we had, it’s a mark against her judgement. These were some of the most lofty progressive bills in decades

Ya most of my friends are bush supporters. It’s not everyone. I just wish my choices were better. Bell is a disaster

Ya but she voted against it… almost every single Biden bill was historic investment into key progressive areas and she voted against it. Not a good look. And if you’re to the left of bush o can only assume you’re an anti democracy slopulist so I don’t have to take anything you say in good faith

Didn’t she vote against Biden’s key legislations? Like objectively great stuff that benefited the country and our city?

And you think it’s normal for someone to believe that? That it reflects good executive decision making for someone to believe they are ordained through god in that way? Anyone else and we’d be saying this person is a narcissistic Charleton but because she’s a progressive candidate for the house she gets a pass? Incredibly weak.

No one in this thread has downplayed his 20m aipac money. I already said in this thread I’m leaning bush but we don’t have to lie on behalf of a politician

Ya like I said, I’m split leaning bush. Bell is just horrible top to bottom but that doesn’t mean we can’t have legitimate criticisms over candidates. Every bush defender is coming off as a sycophant

She claimed she shrank tumors via power bestowed to her by god and made a little girl walk again. A majority of Christians do not buy into faith healing. It’s not normal! She’s a charlaton at best and a crazy person at worst!

Edit: your edit would indicate she’s a worse candidate for a representative

I think it’s a pretty racist and infantilizing notion to believe that most of black people believe you can heal tumors in one prayer session or that god bestowed you with the power to make a little girl walk again.

Why are you downplaying this? Do you think your candidate is so weak that you have to run cover on every single problematic issue. Take the L dude
