Ill wait for the announcement that one is being installed at Mar-a-Lago before taking his lecture on this seriously.

Their advancements in this field are greatly overstated, imo. It will be a long time before they catch up even if we stopped building today.

Several data centers are in the works, including two being built in Miami-Dade County, and one massive million-square-foot facility proposed for Palm Beach County, about 35 miles west of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. A “micro-data center” is also planned as part of a larger office complex in South Miami-Dade, the area’s first data center.

This may be true. But at the same time, we aren't going to stop building to test that theory.

I'm shocked that Trump supports tech billionaires over commoners. Completely shocked. Well, not that shocked.

He meant to say he won't take it seriously until Trump tears down Mar-a-Lago and puts one where it once stood.

Except for the ones that have given tax breaks to bring the data center there in the first place?

And I won’t be convinced HE cares until he turns in his cellphone. He’s the typical hypocrite. He’s against data, unless it’s his data.

35 miles away, is that supposed to be a gotcha?

No. The fact that you continue to use data is the “gotcha”. Go ahead and fire back, hypocrite.

Data centers use too much water. As a fisherman, no thanks. I don't want to see my river dry up into a stream.

Data centers don’t lead to jobs. I don’t know why he tries to sell it that way.

How about this… let’s illustrate how to tackle this issue instead of just talking shite.

What issues do the data centers present?

What is going to be being done about them?

Does China face the same issues?

How is China handling them?

I was raised (as my grandmother said raised like a good crop you didnt "grow up" like a weed) in Huntsville Alabama.

We were building rockets to send to the moon, rattling windows for miles around, testing fuel (some of it still buried out there in bunkers), lost some astronauts along the way, but nothing was gonna stop us.

Little Trini was told to stick his head under his desk (first clear his desktop, though I never understood why a flying pencil would matter if a nuke dropped on me) cause them Ruskies were gonna target us, but it didnt stop us.

Cause we were America, bigger, faster, and better.


Now.....awwwweeee its gonna raise my power bill the chini told me. awweeee the water will escape and cause cancer the chini told me. awwwee Id rather speak mandarin cause AI gonna take my job.

WT, F happened to you folks its America, strap em up, get right and move , move, move.

Folks won't like it, but he is correct. BTW, not all 'data centers' are the same -- Even I don't like crypto-currency mining.
