      People other than tech bros overwhelmingly ***hate*** AI and the way the tech companies overtly disdain humans and disdain humanity in search of their artificial dream of perfection. We can see that the tech billionaires *want* to replace humans with AI. AI will never argue with them or tell them they’re wrong. Humans have minds and souls that the billionaires cannot take, which is why they hate humans and would rather have AI.

      You have to ask – what is in it for these city council members? Why would they ever vote yes?

      Holy shit, I actually have some major respect for the good people of Festus, Missouri. They’re so pissed off by this deal that they not only ousted four of their city councilmembers, but are gathering signatures for a recall of the remaining councilmembers and the mayor, PLUS a lawsuit against the city government and the construction company that would be building the data center.

      They are not pulling ANY punches. That’s the kind of righteous anger this country needs right now.

      I thought it would be Independence. We just voted out a city councilman and the councilwoman who was ruining for mayor got beat by a union rep with no political experience and the biggest factor was the data center they want to put in. Literally the candidates backed by the stop the data center group swept the election.

      This is the good work that will save the people and destroy these big corporations.

      Good! This is why local elections matter. And Missouri, take note that Governor Mike Kehoe was happy to help push this data center through for the city council.

      A message needs to be sent. When people in these communities say no, maybe the leadership will start to listen or face the same fate. Enough is enough. Power to the people.

      They likely don’t care and walked away with fat checks that are off the books. City councils do shit like this all over the country. Corrupt af

      thank god dude. i was so so afraid the general public was gonna let this happen, like how its so many other times in the past. i really feel like people are shifting sway from “i dont really do politics” and are standing up for whats right

      Great news! Love to see the people’s voice matter.

      If you ever go to Festus, there’s a toy/game store called Neat Stuff and Things. Best toy store I’ve ever been to

      What are the labor unions that support data centers “because of the jobs they create”? Are they actual labor unions, or are they something created by data center lobbyists?

      I was just in Festus a couple weeks back doing an activity with family.

      Nearly the entire town is MAGA so this is quite surprising.

      „…residents would forget about the data center controversy as soon as they find out the city is getting a new Olive Garden restaurant.“ Not only do the residents have to deal with the data center, but an Olive Garden on top of it all?

      Good news from my childhood city for once. Growing up, half the extended family was in Festus and the other half was down the road in Crystal City. Hell, I lived on Crystal Heights road with my grandparents and an uncle further down the road. Makes for some great stories to tell my kids.

      The nearest „this situation is happening“ to me would be Joliet. No one wanted this fucking thing either. I used different words, but have described it loosely as city council signing their end-of-term decree.

      I hope for firings with disgrace all around.

      Fantastic news. Can’t be much worse than cutting down forests to put in data centers, dear god

      Now, they need to prevent the data center from going in. Otherwise, employing or paying off the people that vote for it and end up losing their elected position is just calculated into the cost of approving something against the wishes of the population.
