Trump said recently, and I quote, that "The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign," he added
While I'm not against all data centers, I do think their rapid propagation, especially in areas with limited water and where utility prices have been shown to rise, are popping up too soon without enough vetting. But more than that, this seems to be fairly bipartisan with both sides being hesitant on data centers. So how do you feel about this polarizing language?
There is a large swath of Americans today, particularly the younger demographic, that complain about cost of living/the economy. Yet in many cases (here on this sub lately, too) we have people rushing to declare how well the economy is doing, who cite the stock market, say jobs are fine, etc. So why do we have this gap in those who are struggling vs the economy defenders?
Is it just the chronically online? Is it people who are older/wealthier and out of touch not seeing what's going on? Unreliable government reporting? Young folks having too high of expectations? Truth of the matter is, we're seeing many young people struggling today yet we're supposedly "doing great" and "the economy is doing well!" So what do you think is causing this disconnect?
Reading the responses to the porn question and Blanche's phone call, I've seen some interesting comments that got me thinking: what are your general opinions about casual sex/sex outside of wedlock? Do you think its bad, if so, why? Do you think its bad enough that you'd like to see restrictions on it? Are your opinions based on personal experience, religion, influencers/talking heads, etc.
Just curious to see the general opinions and your reasons why.
