People need to wake up. One, the CCP is flooding social media with anti-Data center promotions, and the liberals see a moment, a chance to spread the lies for political reasons.
Bernie’s days are limited, and he is all in on pushing DSA down the throats of Americans who want nothing to do with socialism at these levels. We already have socialism of sorts with all the handouts our government provides. But people quickly forget, and the media doesn’t report on it.
We need data centers, and those against them should read this piece and see the potential impact on their daily lives. The first time you lose access to ATM’s, or online access, realize it all comes from data centers, from small ones to what is now being planned. You can stand with America or the liberals trying to help the CCP. All IMO.

“What if the data-center haters had their way? What if no more of these pesky data centers were built and — with a wave of a magic wand — existing data centers just disappeared?
With the erased data centers, so would vanish life as we know it in 2026.
“Americans now rely on data centers in much the same way as they rely on their lungs,” National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke explained on Sep. 17, in a highly informative, top-drawer piece. Regarding America’s 5,427 such existing facilities, Cooke adds: “In every moment of every day, data centers are humming away behind the scenes, making the modern world possible.”
ATMs? Forget about it. The actual machine that spits out cash has no clue how much money you have in your bank account. The device that spews $20 bills on demand is tied to computers that know your balance and will give you greenbacks — up to, but not exceeding, what you have in your account or your daily withdrawal limit – whichever is lower.
So, no more ATMs. You can return to the early 1980s, when you had to ask a teller to hand you all the cash you needed for the weekend. If, on Friday night, you partied till the money ran out, you would be out of luck until the bank reopened on Monday.
The computers that govern ATMs are all sitting inside — you’ll never guess — data centers.
How about online banking and finance? JPMorganChase.com, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle? They all operate via — wait for it — data centers.
How about communicating with your family, friends, and associates? Google Contacts, Gmail, and your beloved iPhone or Android smartphone. No more data centers, no more of that!
You come home from work and want to relax to doggie videos on YouTube or watch Bridgerton, Death by Lightning, or Heartstopper on Netflix. Those videos and programs do not live inside of your HDTV. Nope. Your beautiful display screen fills with your favorite comedies, dramas, and Yellow Lab puppies who won’t get out of the pool only because they reside inside data centers. No data centers? Your HDTV will be just a big piece of black plastic.
Would you like to take a trip? You could use some time off — visiting your parents, chillaxing on a beach, or watching the roulette wheels and rock stars in Vegas. Expedia, Kayak, Priceline, Trivago, United.com? Good luck! They all do their magic via data centers. Without data centers, you can savor the good old days of calling hotels, resorts, and airlines directly, via their toll-free numbers. Your waiting time: Approximately 20 minutes.
Research? Are you studying for class, writing a business plan, or looking for the best barbershop or nail salon still open and near you? Google, Bing, ChatGPT, and Grok would all be kaput without data centers.
Feeling lonely? Match.com, Hinge, Bumble, and Grindr would be very lonely, too, without data centers. Shut them down, and you’ll have to go back to the good old days of meeting dates, significant others, and even spouses the old-fashioned way: At social events, parties, and bars.
It’s past time to stop demonizing data centers. Could they operate differently or better? Sure, just like every other business or industry. And the data-center industry damn-well better step up and defend itself, or its critics will eat them alive.
No data centers = no e-mail, no Amazon, no Spotify, no eBay, no Uber, no Cloud, and no Internet! And, quite frankly, no OnlyFans, xTube, or Porn Hub. They rely on data centers, too.
Stomping out data centers would take America and the world back to the time of typewriters, Liquid Paper, and the Yellow Pages.
This truth is simple: Data centers are where modern life lives.”
