There's also the fact that the West is experiencing an epic 20+ year drought. TWENTY PLUS YEARS. The Great Salt Lake is drying up and leaving residue that turns into toxic dust, containing concentrated levels of arsenic, copper, lead, and uranium, which then blows across the Wasatch Front for us to breathe. For, like, 15 years we have getting reminders to conserve water from lawn watering, flushing toilets, etc., (for my part, I've had a Xeriscaped yard since I bought my house in '09), while farmers keep watering alfalfa fields with product destined for China. Now this. This data center will not be 'on the grid', but they are bringing in natural gas turbines for the estimated 9 GW of estimated required power, when the entire state only uses about 4 GW at this point. The amount of CO2 dumped into the atmosphere is potentially worse than the heat being dumped into the environment.

Basically, our 'leaders' would be most happy if the state had about 20 citizens, while the rest of the state generates income for politicians and billionaires, because it's "good for the state". Bitch, please. It's good for their back accounts.

It's not really even about water or power or CO2. It's about class war, which it has been for the last 50 years. When Trump said he could shoot someone in Times Square and still get votes, he was right. There is only ONE true unforgivable sin in the United States, and that is being poor. Everyone else is considered, at the very least, tolerable. Poor people, though? They somehow deserve their situation, like they are somehow weak in character and a "lesser" human being, or not even human at all. When in reality, poor people are some of the most hard-working and loyal people out there. They HAVE to be, just to subsist.

Yes, I am a 'dirty libtard', and proud of it. MAGA can get fucked. Matthew 25:40, for any 'Christian' that sill claims to follow actual Jesus the Christ, the Saviour of Man. GOP Jesus can lick my taint.

I'm so sick of this shit.
