Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Sid Miller: I'm very worried about the data centers. We're going way too fast. The reason they come to Texas, our counties have no oversight ability so they can just do whatever.

My advice to Republicans in the midterms would be to run on the war with Iran for Israel because even that isn’t as unpopular in Red States as building AI data centers.
At the beginning of Trump’s second term, I predicted that Trump’s Golden Age would be Gilded Age 2. We’ve seen this come true. Trump has repeatedly boasted that the economy is doing great from the perspective of Wall Street. He is focused on building his gilded White House Ballroom. The AI bubble has inflated the stock market to record highs. AI data centers are being constructed all over the South and in Red States. The cost of living has gotten much worse. The misery index has gone up since the start of Trump’s second term. We’re clearly headed for yet another “throw the bums out” election of backlash politics. The country is angry with the tech oligarchs of our time just like they were with the railroads back in the day. Socialism is becoming more popular. Anarchists are shooting CEOs again.
The GOP is running on AI data centers and the war with Iran for Israel because it isn’t responding to voters. Electoral victories are purchased by donors who get their favored policies.
