If only more constituents held their elected reps accountable for not representing them.
I’m sure the council members were paid handsomely to be fired. Unregulated capitalism is a horror show.
So we have found the Delete key for politicians?
Out of a cannon?
Will all of these NIMBY places be excluded from the benefits of data centers, or is this just another example of everyone being expected to subsidize rural America even more?
The other half will be gone as well – recalled or voted out in the next election. People in the STL area are PISSED about this shit.

This should happen all over the country.. in every level of government…..TODAY.
Meanwhile, in Vineland NJ…
How about we build these in their backyards?
Why always dump them elsewhere?
I was on the fence about data centers till I found out that each of these buildings hires an average of 5 guys.
It used to be that the rich didn’t have enough money to bribe everyone involved in government. They do now, which is why you’re seeing this play out around the country.
re post with luddit comments on a tech sub.
This is going to be like the 70s and 80s when nobody wanted factories to be built in their town and then got mad when all the factories and jobs moved to China. These neo-luddites will become victims of their own success at blocking projects.
This is inspiring.
Maybe they need to fire councils that even hold a vote and don’t proactively reject the data centers.
And while we are at it; counsels that don’t allow municipal broadband or off grid power sources. They are just lackeys for monopoly abuse otherwise.
Politicians will do whatever they want until people start riding them on rails out of town.
Festus, Missouri. Population: 12,706.
I used to work in Festus and live like 20 minutes away from there, people are pissed. They’re even collecting signatures from non residents to show how unpopular data centers are, I went to a mead festival and people were walking up and down main street collecting signatures. I hope this sends the message.
