Data centers are (mostly) automated server warehouses that require very few workers after construction ends. States are spending over $1 million in tax breaks for every individual long-term job that's created. It's a terrible trade-off.

Capitalism when there is 'too much' of something.
Destroy it so massive profits from 'scarcity' can be maintained.
This evil system needs to be destroyed.
Les agriculteurs ont reçu l’ordre de ne pas commercialiser leur huile d’olive: face à une récolte record, l’Espagne bloque 188.000 tonnes pour éviter l’effondrement des prix, au risque de faire grimper la facture des consommateurs

Every billionaire's "started in a garage" story conveniently skips the parental loans, elite connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom sat on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is just aesthetics; the capital was inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.

If you're $50 short on a bank payment, they'll charge you another $35 for being broke.
If a bank loses $50 billion, suddenly the entire fucking economy depends on saving it.
Funny how capitalism demands financial responsibility from everyone except the people running it.

Corporate profits hit a record $4.7 TRILLION this year.
But corporate tax collections are DOWN by 25% since 2024.
Some of the most profitable multinational corporations in America pay $0 in federal income taxes.
Can you see why our economy is so screwed up?
Tax corporations.

AIPAC just changed their name to the United Democracy Project (UDP), thinking we wouldn’t notice…
They pulled any continued funding under their prior PAC, in an attempt to disassociate from the hate they receive regularly, and throw us off their track.
You cannot hide.

I put together a list of everything that broke the back of Trumpism.
The gas prices.
The unsanctioned war.
The massive corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
Playing nice with Russia.
The cruelty against American citizens.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The ballroom.
The reflecting pool that doesn’t reflect.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against our allies.
By the way, I’m scratching the tip of the iceberg.

Reporter: Do you worry that he [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?

You all tell us constantly that being a minority in this country isn’t an issue. You just have to work hard and make your way, so why would it be an issue when white people become the minority?

Jason Sudeikis gets choked up just picturing Tina Fey taking over SNL from Lorne Michaels.
Seth Meyers has said Lorne has probably already decided who's next. Asked if it's Tina, Sudeikis says he'd love it, and that being almost near tears about it is usually a good sign. He thinks the show can survive without Lorne, since it barely got through the five years he was gone, and he thinks Seth could do a really good job with it too.
Tina or Seth? Feels like everybody has an answer to that one.
