This is happening all over the country. Tiny county boards and municipal politicians are being bought off by billion-dollar technology behemoths building the infrastructure for an unprecedented and invasive surveillance apparatus that equips the government with the ability to track, analyze, and store everything you do while, in milliseconds, identifying and killing people anywhere in the world. These data centers are consuming farmland, poisoning water, and driving up electricity prices in rural and suburban communities. And when someone lets out a single innocent clap in opposition to it, the local sheriff who's lived next door for 15 years is suddenly transformed into an Oracle- Meta cop for hire and drags them to jail.
