There must be only one reason so many people are willing to endorse his absolute bullshit: greed

Occasionally in my car, we have a few decent local stations. And occasionally in my garage too while working on vehicles.

When corporations get involved things almost always get worse.

water supply, noise pollution, and rising energy costs

They also raise nearby air temperatures up to 16 degrees F.

Why stop there, you could just make a whole operating system out of it and call it EdgeOS.

If they have some reason to not like older users that would make sense with my experience. I had like 100,000 comment karma over the last ~13 years. Last month I posted something like “the only way he (trump) is leaving is if 100,000 people drag him out” and got immediately sitewide banned with no warning, appeal denied. That was about the harshest thing I ever posted, 99.99% of my comments and posts were neutral or positive and they could see that clearly from my comment history. I wasn’t there to be mean.

The fact that all over the world we can drill a hole ~100’ into the ground and get fresh water. So far, but many factors are conspiring against that basic life-sustaining resource.

In everything from clothes to blankets to tires. Everything including chewing gum.

We actually got in line for a tour in a language we don’t speak because the line was so much shorter. Still a magnificent house/mansion/castle in a beautiful setting.

For one thing the same ad could have gotten stuck on the TV menus forever.

Empathy for people you don’t personally know

I don’t know, I think it’s bad enough companies have been beta testing self driving cars on public roads where the rest of us need to have human intelligence and pass a driver’s test.

Now we will have flying cars crashing down on our houses.

That takes years, decades.

Gaming in 2028: I am an elite gamer, I have purchased 100% completion in Forza Horizon 7.

That’s going to be a problem, almost like a money laundering scheme. AI can spit out content that’s 99% derived from copyrighted content but is itself free of copyright.

And locals around the data centers pay with their water supply, higher electric bills, and construction traffic and noise. All this so corps can take what used to be on your computer and try sell you their crappy genAI.

Government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Not now.

Wow not bad, that’s a pretty big list.
