13. I have often called these 'tech-bro' billionaires PARASITES and so they are.

These data centers are like the probes mesquitos drive into your skin to suck your blood.

They began by sucking money directly from the treasury through irresponsible tax cuts over decades, and when that worked so well, they sent Elon with his DOGE hackers directly into the treasury to strip the government of people so that the tax cuts could be sustained AND there would also be plenty of grift in the form of sweetheart government contracts.

NOW...

They are inserting their probes directly into the earth to suck away and CONSUME scarce water.

Their probes also go into the power grid and suck away the energy people need for daily life.

Parasites, leeches sucking the life out of the planet itself!
