This article highlights many of my concerns regarding proposed reclassification of land in Wheatland County, Alberta for a data centre. A request is submitted to change from Agricultural to Heavy Industrial. Bad idea when we already face water and electricity challenges.
Data centers are putting new strain on California’s grid. A new report estimates the effects

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
