    The Dems don’t have to slow anything down, shitty AI economics are already doing that.

    They won’t be getting that bailout they were hoping for though.

    for state or local restrictions, they’ll just build elsewhere. as far as nationwide–very unlikely that anything happens. controlling congress don’t mean jack unless you also have the white house, or it’s a super majority that can tell an ‘uncooperative’ president ‘fuck you, we’re overriding your vetoes’.

      At this point they don’t need to peel too many Republicans off to get 2/3rds. The big problem is any win they secure Trump will take credit for.

      I would not be surprised if some Republicans in congress suddenly decide they don’t want to go off the cliff with Trump and stop doing everything he says.

        Made much the same comment earlier about impeachment. None of these people are stupid. They know damned well Trump’s dying of dementia and can’t be on camera too much longer. They also know that the death of the cult leader ends MAGA. I’m expecting defections here and there.

      You just really need the local restrictions, after all the data center need to be somewhere. If you get a no from any place you try, it effectively stop you.

      As nationwide, given how the US people thinks, I do not think that a “fuck the locals government, we override them” will fly.
