[Rant] Capitalism is ruining Greensboro
Y'all I'm so done. downtown used to havr character. And resembled true civilized marx socializt quality. You could walk around at night without feeling like you were in some sanitized corporate theme park. Cheesecakes by Alex and Chandler's is not local business its literall exploiting the working class for profit ... ... and itds gentrification bait. They corporate psyops designed to make us feel like things are getting better while actually they price out every actual Greensboro family. And don't even get me started on Natty Green's. A real brewery with real people should be owned by the working class and the collective. To me it's just another stop on the yuppie crawl where nobody remembers what this city actually was. Downtown used to have soul. Now it's just overpriced cheesecake and revitalization that revitalizes nothing but developer bank accounts. And don't get me started on this JetZero plant. Jobs, they say. Yeah, jobs for capitalist move here, drive up rent, and turn this place into another soulless corporate suburb. Wake up, people. Q2

City Councillors say AI is inevitable and a data center ban is impossible. Speaker says this is dictatorship.
Speakers at this week’s Greensboro City Council meeting asked for more than a moratorium on data center construction. In the face of the multitudinous threats that data centers pose, many demanded an outright ban.
Luis Medina pushed the issue further, noting what Council’s actions reveal: when capital wants something, it is inevitable; when working people want something, it is impossible.Â
He observes that what is possible is a matter of power. Ultimately, he suggests all power be moved into the hands of the working class.
