Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal

Yes, if we stopped making underwear the economy would suffer a lot. That's just plainly true, I don't know why you perceive reality as "deranged". I believe they make medication for that, you might look into it.

Human needs are a prerequisite for human productivity. Heating is actually more important than data centers. I think 99% of people would agree with me on that.

You can't see difference between "important" and economic value?

Are you just trying to be annoying and pedantic or do you secretly have a point you're trying to make? Because I'm not gonna try to guess your argument for you and then argue against it.

Heating has value because PEOPLE FUCKING PAY FOR IT.

Do you know what we call assigning monetary value to a service? Value. That's value.
