I wonder aloud if, after the AI robot industry is sufficiently developed, the billionaire tech elites and their aligned brahmin class release a new deadly virus that kills 80+% of humanity, leaving the remainder to live some kind of techno-utopia in which robots have replaced working class people to such an extent that only those who are needed to maintain the robots remain. Or, in a more benevolent villain fashion, we find out that some vaccine or medicine we have already widely taken produces sufficient infertility to reduce global population by about half in a 1 or 2 generations. With most developed countries experiencing population decline already, it’s not a big lift to get to that point, it seems.
The stable genius President says it’s a “sick conspiracy” so nothing to worry about, continue to buy your Trump memecoins and wait for your $12,000 DOGE/Tariff/Midterm Victory dividends in the mail.

I read an article from the Post and Courier about Spartanburg County.
It’s going dry! No, not related to restricting the sale of alcoholic beverages. It is related to data centers.
Spartanburg County Council approved construction of a data center that was planned to draw 500,000 gallons of water per day for cooling. Seven months later, they revised their water per day use to 1.5 million gallons.
A three fold increase in the revision of water usage is a huge whoopsie! Data centers are not this big tax base that county councils think it would be. They can be run with a miniscule amount of staff. It ain’t going to be another BMW.
