A few weeks ago, the fearmongering socialist was yammering about how the “peaceful neighborhood” of Memphis was being poisoned by evil Big Tech and their data centers:
The Unemployed Failson Who Lives With Mom Will Protect Us All From Fake Cancer!
As I said in that post:
But then again, this is just a big shakedown, as it always is. They see deep pockets and they want a piece of it. Just like Clayton Tucker the communist. Jesse Jackson pulled the same shit for decades with his “Rainbow Coalition” extortion racket.
I’ve said many times that these actions are merely shakedowns since Big Tech is rolling in money.
Well guess what? It worked! Elon is going to pay a toll so these idiots shut up and go away. That was basically the plan all along. He bought them off pretty cheap, too: some half-off Internet service. LOL.
This will work, of course. I’m actually fine with this. It’s the free market at work. In other places, companies like Amazon and Meta are building water treatment plants and power generation that will feed back to the community.
As soon as these Big Tech companies with Big Pockets buys a few things for the community, all the Big Talk about “fighting for the people” will dry up and disappear.
You’re telling me if Amazon came into Lampasas and said “hey, that $6 million water plant you can’t really afford to build? Don’t worry – we’ll pay for it” that City council wouldn’t fall over each other to agree to that? Hell yes they would – and rightfully so.
