Thank you! Ah, how desperately we need good news this week, and this evidence of a real Luddite rebellion led by youth is WONDERFUL news! But it comes none too soon--the techlords and their fascist allies are frantically pushing data centers everywhere, and with King Donald in power, they're getting away with all sorts of corner-cutting. Here in rural West Virginia, no one's talking much about lost jobs or alienation, but the politicians, all of them Republicans, have already passed a bill taking away any say re data centers from counties and cities--and the governor just said he hopes to see WV triple the power it exports, from gas and coal, to feed data centers. You might want to do a column on the battle in Memphis over the huge data center Musk's XAI is building near a black community, ignoring permits and with no public input.
