    Agitating nonsense. We stopped data centers in my county by showing up to board meetings and letting them know what we thought. They absolutely cave to pressure, especially local politicians.

    They still have to run for reelection and online propaganda bullshit isn’t nearly as effective for local politicians.

      That I agree with. Local politicians are more likely to cave to pressure than the US house and Senate. I should have been more clear on my original post.
