With the end of Trump era, comes the end of AI/data center grift. Which was a scheme to create wealth for few, and illusion of prosperity for many (via stock market). And to give cover to otherwise reckless policies of wars, inflation, pollution and corruption.

It’s an example. A metaphor. Sometimes you take a job, not because you like it , or it pays enough. You take the fucking shitty job because it pays more than not having a job.
You learn everything you can while working that job, in hope of maybe being promoted or preparing for your next job.
Or you sit on your ass. Collect unemployment as long as you can and do whatever.
We all make choices.
Some people are willing to grind. Some are not.
Just the way it is.

An independent, non-city-affiliated audit of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power rates has been ordered by Mayor Karen Bass, her office says. ktla.com/news/local-news/ind…

Ooooof. Short report from Morpheus research on $FRVO Fervo Energy released last week looks brutal.
Deep technical breakdown, interviews with ex-employees. Very thorough.
Haven’t read the full report (long read), so won’t lazily share it. But it’s google-able if interested.
are we finally saying this out loud!?
does this strike anyone else as being childish, unserious, and just dumb?
The Senator isn't kidding about BAAJA fixing inter-agency issues!
If agencies fail to act on interagency dispute resolutions, the head of the agency is banned from traveling more than 25 miles (for business)
The more I read BAAJA the better it gets!
