The working class is fed-up being pushed around by the Billionaire Epstein Class Tech Bros, and those within state government, for building these massive hyper-scale A.I. data centers in secrecy. And that's led to both Democrats and Republicans to introduce bills to put a temporary halt to this data center expansion. That's bipartisanship I can support. Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you [email protected] of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!https://www.patreon.com/cw/LeftofLansingMusic provided by Wanderbeats.
