This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I hope they'll remember that at the mid-terms and vote accordingly
Voters and consumers everywhere have such short attention spans.
No no....it's not memory issues. It's the fact that they play team sports with politics.
"OOOOOHHH!!!!! I'M SO MAD AT THE PEOPLE I VOTED FOR!!!"
Then the next election comes, and that same politician they've been mad at for years is up for reelection.
"OOOOHHH!!!!! I'M STILL MAD AT YOU.......but the other guy represents the other party, which as we all know are controlled by the lizard people, who only want to kill us all. I better vote for my time and trusted politician who I voted for before, which aligns with my beliefs....."
Two weeks later....
"OOOOOHHHH I'M SO MAD AT THE PEOPLE I VOTED FOR!!!"

Depending on the democrats, they’re just as likely to support the building of data centers.
There aren't going to be fair midterms. Please wake up.
When companies try to build new ones, industry analysts say they frequently do so clandestinely without revealing which tech firm would use the facilities. Researchers found that among 31 Virginia localities with existing, approved or proposed datacenters, 80% had non-disclosure agreements with the companies behind the projects, the Virginia Mercury reports
There's an old adage from the 1980s:
California passes new laws regulating the pollutant output of motor vehicles in order to protect the Los Angeles valley. (The smog there routinely posed a dangerous health risk, and probably still does. Cars have since been required to pass smog checks.)
The automotive industry of Japan responded by hiring 30,000 scientists to develop less pollutant cars.
The automotive industry of the United States responded by hiring 30,000 lawyers to contest the new regulation.
(It's a simplification, but the gist of it is based on fact. Eventually the US automotive industry would switch over to Non-Passenger Work Vehicles, id est, SUVs which were not regulated by the California laws. In 2026, 90% of active personal vehicles in the US qualify as NPWVs.)
Wow, can the Tech-Bros bridge the Democrats-Republican-Divide in US? Everyone hates these Uberrich oligarchs (how we call them in Germany „way-too-rich“)
