big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

• normies are gonna demand fast, free AI BUT also no datacenters.
• the consumer model shifts to home AI rigs.
• electricity usage ⬆️⬆️⬆️. grid still struggles.
• Dems are forced to tax individual consumers or eat the political cost of infinite electric bills, forever.

Off-market units are counted in all vacancy related statistics per Census Bureau. Try again.
This chart doesnt even make sense, one can easily look & see that our pop didnt grow at all the years the vacancy rate takes an absolute nose dive & on top of that they were even building housing those years.
Where did all these vacancies go? The units are empty but kept off market to inflate prices

to briefly elaborate: trust is down, social media & headline-based news don't do anything to restore trust, but (optionally community-based) static info sites (wiki) are broadly trusted (wikipedia). we can restore trust in media and each other by demanding, as consumers, our information in wiki form
