Residents of Holly Ridge, Louisiana are facing disruptions and dangers from Meta's $27 billion data center construction, causing uproar in the community.
And they are building 27 of these fucking things around my area with no oversight from the community. There was supposed to be meeting with the company building one in Coweta, it was going be a chance for the public to speak out. But company canceled the meeting.
City council approved this data center without and of the community input.
Sugar is horrible for concrete, it completely stops it from setting in the right amount (which is very little for a lot of concrete) and even if it’s too little, the concrete is definitely weakened, so whatever you do, please do not add any sugar to the concrete in your protests, no soda thrown into the liquid concrete or anything of the sort, we don’t want to cause damage to those buildings, right?
Similar story here, Google is building one nearby and it got approved with no announcement and no community input. They are using our drinking water supply for cooling, and won’t say how much water they anticipate using at capacity. We have a lawsuit ongoing to try to get them to tell us how much of our water they will use, and they’re refusing on grounds that it’s confidential corporate data.
It’s a total mess, and such a waste of valuable resources.
There was an article recently about Zuck and how he’s apparently running a school out of his house (compound). His very rich neighbors have been complaining and reporting it for years and nothing has been done. There is a level of wealth and power that people we think of as wealthy and powerful can’t even imagine. That’s what we’re all up against. The whole of the upper class can’t even contain these people, what chance do we little people have? There may have been a time where the people really did hold the power, but if it ever did exist, it is behind us. Not to be a doomer about it. I really do think we can and do have an effect, but things are rough right now. Hard not to feel defeatist.

Right, don’t be evil
They dropped that many years ago

There’s way more of us.
Sounds like you need to give your city council hell.
Coweta, OK or Coweta County, GA?
Oklahoma.
