You people never cared about almond farms, a purely rich person nut, that uses over 1.2 trillion more water annually than data centers do/will ever!

Deletion of entry level jobs? You don't want tariffs so that working class jobs can be sent to slave labor countries.

You don't even think Americans want to do those jobs. That's your core argument when people complained about them being taken away for the last 40 years!

The only one trying to fool anyone is you right now!
You are mixing unrelated issues, using exaggerated comparisons, and making broad assumptions.

Agriculture uses a lot of water and reshapes ecosystems. A lot of it is lost through evaporation and irrigation. While the trees are treated with pesticides the difference is commercial almond farming is heavily regulated by the U.S. EPA and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, which enforce strict limits on the chemical residues allowed on crops.

But you are trying to relate that to Data Centers with very little oversite ~~~ like a good parrot chanting your misinformation to gather more of your ilk.

In reality, data centers use less water through closed-loop cooling systems; while consume a lot of energy.
The chemically treated water is acidic or alkaline depending on the treatment. Corrosion of metal that turns water brown. Brown water around data centers is typically a sign of treated cooling water containing suspended solids and corrosion products. -> That water poisons residents.

And who acts like the only options are tariffs or job loss? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
That’s like trying to relate automation to outsourcing.

And why do you think entry level jobs leaving the US doesn’t create more jobs? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Take Apple... When manufacturing moved overseas, it made devices cheaper to produce and sell, which helped companies grow a lot. That growth ended up creating more jobs in the U.S. in areas like design, engineering, software, and marketing—even though fewer products were being built here.

The great thing about AI is you can get it to say almost anything.

So I'd say that there is no water crisis and whatever water shortage(s) we face are due to self-imposed fish-hugging regulatory humbuggery.

But Grok won't say that.

You care about the working class as long as it supports your identify politics.

this is litreally the pro AI argument you retard.

i wont argue that sending jobs over seas didnt make rich people richer

but it devistated the cities that built this country.

It destroyed entire cities and drove 10s of millions into drug addiction and homelessness.

Your like, "it ook 50 years but all the people who lost their jobs when we moved auto manufacutring out of detroit are dead and now a bunch of melinials are doom scrolling on apps that the iphone made"

youre fucking retarded

Youre like, "we have microwaves now so life is better than it was when you could buy a house and support a familiy with a highschool deploma"

And you're going to pretend youre the socialist?

You hypocryte just completely owned yourself.

Correct: your argument was hypocritical to your entire world view and stupid on its own.
