A certain unemployed socialist bum has been running around Texas fearmongering about how “data centers will double your power bill!” (truth: they won’t).
In reality, Texas has it pretty awesome when it comes to electricity prices. We pay about 10 or 11 cents per kilowatt hour. I doubt Clayton Tucker even knows that because he lives with his parents and the MAN of the house (his dad) pays the bill with his Firefly paycheck. Clayton is unemployed, you see.
Here are some electricity prices from around the world:
United Kingdom: $0.34 per kWh Germany: $0.38 to $0.43 per kWh Italy: $0.39 to $0.42 per kWh Ireland: $0.44 to $0.45 per kWh
Germany. LOL. Yet another reason they suck. Can you imagine if your power bill you bitch about in July and August was TRIPLE or QUADRUPLE what it is now? You’d drop a load in your pants.
[Weird how we have way more data centers than any other country YET our power prices are lower! We have TEN TIMES as many data centers as shitty Germany does (5400 versus 520) but their rates are FOUR TIMES HIGHER! Almost as if data centers don’t matter at all]
Over here, we were busy listening to absolute imbeciles like Clayton Tucker, AOC, Ed Markey, Joe Biden and Al Gore – so we wasted hundreds of billions on fucking PINWHEELS instead of reliable, cheap nuclear.
So a few years ago, morons gave bad advice about power generation and now we are losing to China. Today, those same morons are giving bad advice on data centers so we can lose to China once again! Why ANYONE listens to shitlibs is beyond my comprehension.
It’s been a while since I took a shit on Germany. But they’ve been in the news a lot lately – all for humiliating and embarrassing stories. So it’s time to remind everyone how much they suck at everything and how they are a third-world shit hole now.
Here is your life if you have the misfortune to be a kraut:
Oh – their entire train system went down last week because the communications still run on shitty 1990s-era G2 cell tech. So they all stood around like dumb cows wondering where the trains were.
The sealant that holds the train tracks to the asphalt started melting this week in 107-degree temps. So the trains got fucked up all over again. The fabled “German engineering” couldn’t figure out how to keep sealant working in 107-degree heat. Hilarious!
More people die of the heat in Europe than in ass-backwards, piss-poor Africa! It’s true!
And THEN, you go into your World Cup match today as a 10-1 favorite and you LOSE on penalty kicks. BAHAHAHAHA. To PARAGUAY! I didn’t even know Paraguay was a real country. I thought it was like the fictional country of Val Verde from the Schwarzenegger movie Commando or like the Beach Boys song Kokomo. Just a totally made-up pissant country. But it’s real and Germany lost to them tonight.
Does Clayton sell any of his fake ranching products at the Lampasas Farmers Market which is two blocks from his parents’ house? Of course not! Because he is a fake rancher, not a real rancher.
But PLENTY of other REAL ranchers sell product there. They are LITERALLY selling meat right in Clayton’s front yard as he sits there like a pussy complaining about “monopolies” ruining his ability to make a buck ‘ranching.’ LOL.
Clayton’s failure as a rancher has NOTHING to do with monopolies. It has EVERYTHING to do with Clayton being a weak, lazy, incompetent, lying son-of-a-bitch who has no idea how to ranch. He just takes gay pictures of goats and begs for money on-line. He’s spent the last YEAR driving around in circles in Texas ranting to gullible old ladies about “monopolies” – it’s kind of hard to make money ranching when you are never there, comrade.
Here is what Clayton the lazy pussyfag does while REAL ranchers sell meat directly to consumers in his front yard. He names his male goat Cinnabon and dresses him up like a Barbie doll:
The lesson of New York City elections is that if you continue to allow millions of retarded foreign communists into your country, the communists are going to take over your entire country, block by block and city by city.
They will seize your homes and your retirement accounts and the inheritance you set aside for your children and grandchildren, and there will be nothing you can do to stop them.
You either stop the immigration and send them all back, or you lose your country and everything you own.
I need to get a list going on all these ludicrous lies so I don’t forget any…
“Vibrations in the air are now causing bacterial infections!”
If Clayton ever raised any kids, he’d know that ear aches are a dime a dozen. If you asked anyone at Urgent Care or FMC what the most common issue is, they would very likely tell you kids with ear aches. If you sample ANY town, data center or no data center, you are going to have plenty of parents bringing their kids in for ear aches. Especially in the summer.
You absolute fucking moron.
But don’t trust me – let’s ask Google, AI and the medical profession.
This is the problem with Comrade Clayton’s “man on the street” schtick: his “research” is just old cranks self-reporting all these afflictions…probably because they are lonely old farts and just want someone to talk to. So they make up grandiose stories about stillbirths in cows and ear aches. Zero actual proof, but Comrade Clayton reports all these incidents as “facts.” They are not. They are mostly the ramblings of one old lady who wants some attention.
Clayton Tucker has blamed all of the following on data centers at one time or another:
Heart murmurs in children Stillbirths in cows Early-onset dementia Raises local temperatures 20 degrees Fahrenheit “Heavy Metal” toxins in a water well Ear aches in children Cattle breeding disruption due to light pollution Doubling of power bills
Just a fake farmer in a fake cowboy hat spreading fake ‘facts’ to be lapped up by brain-dead morons!
This would be my nightmare: A 35-year-old socialist bum who lives with his parents and has NEVER created anything, never built wealth, owned land or employed a single person gets his hands on the taxpayer cookie jar.
God help us.
Clayton Tucker’s latest puddle of verbal diarrhea is titled “Rural Texas Doesn’t Need More Corporate Handouts” but then goes on to explain how he’s going to take tax dollars as Ag Commissioner and…wait for it…hand them out as “market development programs and rural finance initiatives.” LOL.
So he DOESN’T want any tech companies getting a break on taxes for a few years in order to create massive amounts of construction jobs but he DOES want to play Santa Claus and cut taxpayer checks to “rural farmers,” which as we well know, would include incompetent hobby-farmer bums like Clayton Tucker himself.
Sounds like a great idea: letting a socialist kid who doesn’t know shit about shit pick the “winners” and “losers” in the economy. The kid who was wrong about Covid, renewable energy, Tim Walz, running out of water, and global warming wants us to believe he’s wise enough to handle this task.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It is to laugh.
While socialists are GREAT at stealing other people’s money and handing it out as their own to get the glory, they are TERRIBLE at opening their own wallets and helping out the community.
For instance the town where this socialist bum lives (which also happens to be where I live) has a big festival every year called Spring Ho! It’s coming up soon, as a matter of fact.
Do you know how many times Clayton Tucker or his RX Ranch have been a sponsor for this event? The kid who claims to have deep roots here and brag that his grandparents have been here “since the 70s”?
This is from when he got his ass kicked running for City council.
The Spring Ho festival has been celebrated for 53 years. Guess how many times Clayton Tucker or RX Ranch has donated even a penny to be a sponsor?
Zero times. That’s right. Zero. Not a fucking penny.
The same can be said for his donations to any other local charities. He’s never on the sponsor list of ANY of them. So much for “caring about the local rural community,” huh? But he’ll be MORE than happy to steal YOUR money and hand it out like a drunken sailor.
The funny thing is, there ARE some rancher/cattle sponsors on the list – including a PLATINUM sponsor…the highest level!
I wonder how 2JR Cattle manages to be so generous when (according to Clayton Tucker, fake rancher) the whole system is “rigged” against ranchers and they are unable to make a buck. Perhaps it’s just the FAKE, LAZY and INCOMPETENT ‘ranchers’ that are having trouble, eh Comrade??
We might ask 3-C Joppa Cattle Company the same question! They are somehow managing to be generous as well!
Comrade Clayton, the unemployed bum who was handed a free “farm” that currently sits there unused and unprofitable, tells us that rural areas are dying. Sure doesn’t look like it to me! Just look at all the businesses that are chipping in to sponsor Spring Ho!
Impressive. Make me proud to be a Lampasshole.
Clayton DID manage to LIE about donating to charity, however. At least twice, he has done that. So not only is he a fake farmer, fake rancher and fake water researcher – he’s ALSO a fake philanthropist!
So he’s very good at PRETENDING to be charitable but not so good at actually opening his wallet and handing the money over. More stolen valor – his specialty.
Clayton Tucker: fake rancher, fake farmer, fake data center expert, fake water researcher, fake cowboy, fake philanthropist, fake man. REAL douchebag and socialist scumbag.
But NOW, when silicone valley wants to spend TRILLIONS on workers to pour concrete, weld, install wiring, plumbing, etc – Clayton Tucker is vehemently opposed because “muh water!” or something.
Data centers use 0.4% of all water used in Texas.
TONS of new power plants are going in to run these things – and those power plants ALSO needs workers to build! Talk about your multiplier effect!
The way I see it, if Clayton is right and the genius tech bros are wrong, then there is STILL a huge transfer of wealth to American workers – and the data centers will sit there useless like Twisted Oak restaurant at the north end of Lampasas. It will be a huge ripoff of the tech dorks by the blue collar guys. I’m fine with that.
If Clayton is WRONG (historically the case) then the workers STILL win AND we get this miracle AI that solves a ton of problems. Either way, the money flows from Silly-con Valley to the guy welding and wiring. That’s a good thing.
From Bartenders To Builders: Data Centers Drive America’s Blue-Collar Comeback
A seismic shift is underway in the U.S. labor market after a quarter-century of America’s industrial base being hollowed out following China’s entry into the WTO, a period marked by the decline of goods-producing jobs while leisure and hospitality employment surged.
The driver of the current job shift is the data center buildout phase, which is expected to require millions of new jobs across construction, manufacturing, electrical trades, power infrastructure, and the broader industrial supply chain. Additionally, reshoring critical supply chains will require even more goods-producing jobs, which are high-paying and pay far more than low-wage jobs such as bartending and waiting.
Nancy Lazar, Piper Sandler’s chief global economist and head of the firm’s economics research team, published a note on Sunday showing what happened to the U.S. labor market after China joined the WTO in 2001.
The result was a long-term hollowing out of America’s industrial base, marked by a sharp decline in higher-paying goods-producing jobs while lower-quality leisure and hospitality jobs surged. Education and health services jobs also continued to move up and to the right.
But there was good news around 2010, when goods-producing jobs began to reverse. Lazar’s note suggests that the trend is now set to accelerate as the data center, power grid, and AI infrastructure buildout drives a new wave of demand for industrial labor.
Lazar continued:
Bullish On Goods Producing Jobs vs. Hotel & Restaurant Jobs.
When China joined the WTO in 2001, U.S. goods producing jobs began a decade of decline, while leisure & hospitality, and education & health jobs continued to rise …
… so today, goods producing jobs are less than half those of low-paying service jobs – their share was over 50% in the mid-1980s.
That employment mix shift gave us the bifurcated consumer, as lower paying jobs gained share. Goods producing jobs pay more than overall service producing jobs – and lots more than leisure & hospitality, or education & health care jobs.
Good news: That mix is now shifting the other way, as the long-running (not just tech) capex cycle raises productivity and margins, encouraging adding headcount.
Look at relative earnings growth, by sector, below.
Combine that with falling energy prices and (we believe) slowing core inflation, and we’re on the lookout for narrowing bifurcation among consumers. That would indeed be good news. We’re watching our Daily consumer confidence survey, non-investor component, closely.
Industrial labor demand is likely to remain a strong trend for several years, with $800 billion in hyperscaler capex being deployed for data center buildouts just this year alone – and don’t worry about humanoid robots entering construction sites until the next decade.
However, college graduates, mostly burdened by insurmountable student debt, are watching in disbelief as corporate America rapidly automates white-collar jobs out of existence.
Last week, Goldman analysts led by Pierfrancesco Mei identified the 20 college majors most exposed to AI job disruption.
Most and Least AI-Exposed Jobs
It’s a boon for Main Street and blue-collar workers, rather than college-educated elites. Liberals are furious that SpaceX welders with no college degrees have been minted into instant millionaires after the latest IPO.
The unemployed socialist bum who was handed a free family “farm” but has never bothered to plant anything is now making up stories about Texas farms vanishing at a disastrous rate – implying we’re all going to starve imminently….
Nah. It was more like half that in 2025 – 38 per week…
But even THAT number is misleading. Here is the view from 30,000 feet. A view that a moron like Clayton never considers because he has the mildewed pea brain of a socialist…
So, over Clayton’s entire short lifespan, the number of farms has…..gone up by 4,000.
This is a good thing. It frees huge swaths of the population from the backbreaking work of farming. Clayton Tucker would know it’s backbreaking work if he had ever actually performed it.
As far as I can tell, Hawk (who clearly IS a real, salt-of-the-earth Texas land guy) is complaining about “them” (RRC?) fucking a bunch of stuff up and leaving zombie wells.
As a quick reminder, Hawk the oil and gas man might want to know that Clayton Tucker the radical left-wing socialist wants to completely abolish fossil fuels and cover the landscape with solar panels and shitty pinwheels….
Of course, Ag Commissioner has nothing to do with any of this, either – just like the data center stuff.
The rich irony is that Clayton’s MOM worked for the Railroad Commission for THIRTY YEARS. So in essence, Clayton’s own mommy (who he lives with at age 35) is partially responsible for the mess that Clayton is standing there pretending to care about for a photo shoot.
BONUS FOOTAGE: Clayton forgot to strap on his handgun prop for this photo shoot. Whoops.
Also, at the 53-second mark, a pudgy, doughy white Clayton squats down and pretends to sniff or taste the dirt in an attempt to look like he knows what he’s doing.
