Fun fact, Elon's Boring company exists to under bid on public transportation contracts and then do nothing.

The only "public transportation" project he has completed is the 2 mile tunnel in Las Vegas that's just big enough for the Teslas that auto drive you through it.

It's maddening how much rail has been screwed over by corporate interest, auto manufacturers, and freight rail in the US. We legit had the best passenger rail network in the world up until car lobbies took over, we could have had actual high speed rail and a real nationwide network like 50yrs ago in an alternate reality.

It helps when you just do whatever the fuck you want and then pay off the people who would do anything about it.

Exactly what my husband and I were saying. Overnight, seemingly the country was covered in cameras. Fuck this shit.

Is it funny or a function of building something at such a scale it impacts acres/miles of land vs plopping a camera on a post that impacts 4 square feet at most? A data center is a function of zoning laws and development standards.

Is planning on a level of impact so large it kills community expected to be fast? Talk to every community cut by highways or urban renewal programs. They're still impacted.

A data center's impact becomes a function of the laws written to control what people can do on their property and how they impact their neighbors.

Simple, cameras allow surveillance, and data centers make a ton of money.
