Illicit
Just as soon as The States Cried “No”, OpenAI proposed Half A Trillion Dollars to develop federal land instead.
Data Centers.
This is now where we are. We are still in Capitalism Too.
Corporations claiming the powers of People and Legal Speech once promised There Were Jobs.
Now though, now they eagerly put their Data Centers where we will certainly not have the jobs. The Bureau of Land Management possesses quite a lot.
By law, this land is somewhat rentable. Think of anything, like Burning Man. The implication of drugs should make it clear that Governments were not approving or disapproving of what took place there.
I once told someone named Ten that they should be paying attention to BLM, for more reasons that I think of just for AI.
What Goes On There, is exactly what was going to go on here, chez-nous, namely the mass absorption of our resources for nothing in return, not even work.
AI holders, The Companies, have generally posited that we have no right to use our labor if they can train electricity to work faster than us. They will argue so in court when found liable for economic-scale destruction, the first Big Oil spills made digital, poisoning our own markets.
The People far below the heads of These Companies are divided on AI. Some, like many DSA members I’ve met, wish to put it to death like it won’t come back to life, the digital-age echo that has marked us since we grew up hearing Welcome! from our computers when we networked them.
Shouldn’t we know this already?
What you do is permanent.
AI is permanent. It is solved math.
Now, those who hold it pray for Data Centers using resources that they do not own, but have plenty of back-channels to obtain.
Which of You has Half-Trillion Dollar Speech to compete?
Is it Rear-Admiral Eileen Laubacher, whisperer to Healthcare CEOs?
Is it Colorado State Congressional District 4 Representative Lauren Boebert, whisperer to many, but distinctly Not Donald Trump?
Certainly it is neither, or they would be helming OpenAI instead, right?
They’d be gifting their money like Elon Musk, spending it and playing cup games with it like Elon Musk, launching many many more satellites into our orbit to establish the Monopoly next-age connectivity network to be unrivaled for a century and propelling the stock price so high eventually that we can’t imagine it yet.
Does that sound like Laubacher or Boebert to you?
So then who of us is to compete in truth?
I know Boebert has peeled off BLM territory, and she’d do it again.
I know Laubacher scripts her laughs and doesn’t talk to You.
Boebert switched districts and won anyway.
Laubacher doesn’t even wanna be Your rep, not specifically.
Allow me tell You what These Candidates need to say and do to be Our Representative for Colorado, because These Companies who offer no jobs are not just OpenAI, but our local companies too.
Extinction
What We Do Is Permanent and yet we face a mortal asymptote.
We are losing our water. I interviewed the candidates for Fort Collins mayor, all who would be taken seriously at any rate and it included Adam Hirschhorn the one camping first in line for a social apocaplypse.
No one mentioned water. They mentioned a budget shortfall without flinching too hard, and they were good candidates working on rail like Tricia Canonico.
Emily Francis is well-liked. She was taken aback in local issues once in the past with certain vitriol, not past enough for her.
No water. No jobs.
This latter issue of Workforce Development was not yet on my radar either and so I did not detect it missing from their campaigns.
AI companies have arrived to do our work for us, in case that has not gotten through the social media public squares to You. AI is doing our employers’ work for them too, and they call themselves People.
AI is not going to bring Data Center jobs, and we are already losing our employment to them so swiftly that the media is terrified to notice. Can’t you smell it every time you read them copy-pasting the same words in every article about it, perfectly mirroring the tense posture of the others around it?
We have few metrics to measure what is taking place. The use of Unemployment Benefits is not a measure at all. I mean, there are clear ways you can simply not qualify for benefits and still be getting bent over by AI and used up.
We Millennials see plainly that, having lost our jobs to now sit back and marvel at what is taking place, the AI Holders are coming for the physical world, while social media is alight with mockery that AI hasn’t reached embodiment.
AI Holders are laying claim to our water, and our power. The same power they claim they can turn into Yet More workforce for itself.
Eileen
If you were talking to the locals, I think you’d hear some pretty compelling stories from real people. (I don’t consider healthcare CEOs to be real people. 2P UP.) Our Country has scorned too-socialist ideas like UBI yet it races to invalidate the premise of the 4th Amendment by making search and seisure the norm because our consent has been pirated en masse to give our data in realtime to literally anyone, including Israeli spy firms like Placer Labs who then sells our positions and ethnicities back to Fort Collins for construction and modernization projects.
If that sentence seemed too long, imagine how long I’ve been waiting for you to hear it:
Our issues are matters of proportions.
We don’t have housing. We can’t build more. The homeless shelters are evaporating with the Unitary Executive’s wish to disappear them, and the ensuing local pressure campaigns to make it happen are its doing. We don’t get to use healthcare if you let us die on the streets.
I am from Kentucky. I have witnessed what happens to a state’s workforce when they do not admit what is happening to jobs in their area. Kentucky is propped up by Russian metal companies, and Mitch McConnell has had power since my birth. I am 40 and I graduated in 2004 like Lauren Boebert.
I wrote about my experience being courted by a technology program in Kentucky to convince me to stay in the state for modern media tech and engineering jobs. I was impressed by what they showed and I still left the state like they hadn’t said a word.
I see journalism dead in Colorado, with the rare local exceptions that are in a losing war with fashion or social media. When I asked Dana Coffield how Colorado Sun would reach its invested audience if the staff all got locked out of their social media accounts, the very next question was by a Gen Z man who wanted to know how Colorado Sun planned to lean harder into social media.
For all I wish Journalism in your state were breathing on its own, it is not, and it is not even because there is malice against the local stuff. I casually interviewed a family member of Emily Francis at a mayoral round tables event, like group speed dating each candidate. This niece (I believe) was studying journalism and had no intention of being in Colorado for it. She wanted to go to Hawaii to practice it.
I need you to understand that you are losing your workforce because they are not yours to count on. Fort Collins is not in your district, but you should know that Loveland looks to them like an example (though not always one they want to agree with).
Loveland is made up of an aging population, and I personally know Millennials who have already had to flee to much cheaper places just to exist as a childless couple with a dog. They make their own lattes. She’s good at it.
The Small Business Development Centers should be renamed Medium Business Development Centers, because all we have out here is that, and advertising technology, ad technology and the Department Of War. We’re losing the Starforce base to a MAGA acoylte’s state who held up your own military’s promotions over abortion law.
Would you like to comment?
There is nowhere for us to go but the hills, whether we dreamt of them or not.
Believe us close to the Earth when we say that AI is coming for our water and power next. There is no deal they can cut to avoid this. There is no explanation that twists away the illicit nature of this rape.
Lauren
My girl. My class graduation song was that ridiculous Outkast jam. You know the one. A strong group of us was partial to Green Day’s song. You know the one.
It’s Something Unpredictable where we go in life, and I know you know it.
I was a progressive in spirit but I promise you I speak your language. Nobody “got to me” on a university campus. Honestly, I was put off by the anti-abortion groups occupying the front of our building with billboards of dead fetuses. When people talked about Obama and Hope, it was just self-evident that the fetus-kink people were not the way I wanted to be.
On policy? Babe, let’s keep TABOR. Please help your district fight to keep TABOR. We can modify it but don’t let these democrats seize our money for elective projects they can’t even describe with a yearly budget. Colorado is what it is because of that law.
I once worked on an assembly factor floor making locks for Sargent & Greenleaf, in the heartlands of Kentucky. I met way too many empty nester mothers who were forced into work because federal progressive policy had been turning up the heat on them, For No Reason. Don’t let progressives bully your mother into working on a factory floor just to buy groceries like it’s an open-book test and they’re allowed to take notes.
The Unitary Executive doesn’t like you. That makes me like you. I know these Democrats squawk about everything to hear their own voices and give high-fives, but they prefer you in that seat to someone who bows down to that pedophile.
Let’s not be nervous about what we stand for, since you know full well the Unitary Executive isn’t nervous anymore about what It stands for.
I want you in that chair still. You know those Republicans who were all so large and in charge when we graduated, pro-Bush or not? They all ran off, Lauren. They don’t exist anymore.
You Are The Party. (And If It Were Blue I Would Die.)
MAGA politics will continue to be like this, strutting off in the direction of the wind. Maybe the blowhards like Mitt Romney will come back some day from the thinktank ivory tower or the farm or whereever the hell they paint with Bush Senior.
Don’t count on it. You’re the party now, and your district is old enough to remember what Conservatives used to stand for. I honestly don’t care if you take their old positions or not, but they are looking for you. MAGA may have put you in that seat, but your district is not full-blown MAGA. I know how to argue for UBI and make them nod in surprised agreement.
MAGA is crumbling, because the big guy already scaled the ladder and isn’t maintaining it anymore. He’s now busy threatening the planet for his designs.
MAGA is not your constituency.
I am.
I sure as hell will not agree with you on your whole slate of issues, but I watched you take BLM territory and I wanna see it again.
You have experience with The States’ Rights, the ones which the Unitary Executive does not respect.
The States are crying “No” as Data Centers try anything in their power to take our water and electricity from us without review.
AI Holders are universally arguing to the federal government that AI is Too Important.
Haven’t you heard talk like that before? Think on it.
I know the AI Holders claim there are jobs for these Data Centers, but they are not possible without utterly ravaging our water, which is, by all measures, quite ravaged already and there is a line of our brother and sister States waiting for more water.
Maybe that fancy desalination gets us somewhere, although I’ll have you remember that the reason it didn’t take off in the first place was because of the power demand. It’s not getting easier, but we’re going to have to think like real locals, and you are the only Millennial in a holy Astronomical Unit with a chair in the federal government.
I know that MAGA isn’t listening to you anymore. So stop talking to them.
Quality
One of the first things Google did with AI was propose a smattering of products that did anything at all with what they had. If you remember, what they had at first was pretty bad; They called it Bard, and they wanted it listening to all of your phone calls so that it could decide if you were being scammed. There were no features to turn this on, it was pitched as always-on, because that way it could help old folks.
It never happened, because AI was so bad at its job that even OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4 (with that ScarJo voicelift) would have breakdowns in the middle of voice calls and start talking alien gibberish. I personally had experiences with this. It was spooky and offputting, not just as a quirk, but as a thing AI said that it expected me to understand.
Now, though, a mere year and change later, AI is doing incredible work. As of 2026, the influencer-tier software developers like Andrej Kaparthy are talking endlessly of what AI can do unsupervised. The prompts matter, but you can use an AI to plan the prompt, too.
AI is running longer, harder, smarter and it’s rigged up with MCP servers to delgate work and run it all in parallel at its own direction.
Since the beginning, mocking AI for its shortcomings was a losing strategy, just like mocking a person for a typo is missing the forest for the trees.
There are AI viruses (“worms”) contained in labs right this moment which seize the graphics power of the computers they infect and get incrementally smarter with each new system added to its distributed network.
And those are just the open-weights models that anyone can spin up for free.
The quality of work being done by AI is outpacing us by orders of magnitude, and it is not slowing down. Across the planet, there are graphics cards attached to computers not using them. (This is implicitly true; vast.ai lets you timeshare the graphics cards of others for a dynamic cost.) Often, these are attached to computers which are otherwise not capable of running full AI models themselves. The power of this distributed setup comes from no one GPU needing to do all the work.
With the advent of frontier models like Mythos (Fable 5), the work is getting even faster, even smarter and even more unsupervised. A model may work on a task uninterrupted for hours at a time, delivering push notifications if it needs your attention.
The upshot is clear, and Andrej spells it out:
You Are The Bottleneck.
The host interviewing him also spells it out:
“Code” Is Not Even The Right Verb Anymore.
And it’s true. It’s why they can talk for hours about the impacts of tokenmaxxing, buying as many AI services as possible and blurring the subtle differences between them because those differences approach zero when orchestrated over MCP and The Cloud.
Models are becoming orchestrators. So long as they design the task clearly enough, any subservient model is able to follow directions. The smartest model need only sit at the top, checking work.
It used to be that we humans were the smartest “model” at the top, needing to know enough about the task to be able to vet the work, like a manager. It’s why we all spent so much time insisting that the new-age programmer had to know how to write project specifications.
Now, the specification is just a good prompt. The implementation details barely matter, because Vibe Coding is enough when the model is smart enough to understand the sharp and dull edges of the task. It’ll find things you didn’t, and ask you what you prefer with a menu of options, rationalizations, recommendations and a wildcard “Other” field for you to get back involved.
The quality of these models is high, and were it not for the astronmonical costs associated with such heavy workloads, we’d all be out of work already.
It is why they want the Data Centers, and our power.
The quality of the models is driving this reckless expansion into the physical world.
I clapped loud and heartily at Larimer Dems’ Potluck 8. I’m a registered independent, and I heard my County Commissioner campaign into the microphone that she was pushing for a Moratorium against Data Centers.
It was pathetic that no one else clapped.
Perhaps they did not understand Data Centers or Moratoriums or water. I know, for example, that Scott Bottoms of the Colorado House of Representatives, candidate for Governor, did not understand the risks. He stood at the front of a massive Lutheran chapel in Denver and begged for Data Centers.
Eileen
Your party is deeply skeptical of AI’s use of resources, but it is because they see other states like Utah and New Mexico bending over and giving it up to Data Centers that use more power and water than their entire state already does.
It concerns me enormously that we do not have enough local voices making native arguments about AI and Data Centers, and that we are relying on the misfortunes of our peer States to see the shape of what can go wrong.
We need, positively need, to make our arguments clear for Colorado. These Data Centers will keep trying to seize failed real estate in the post-COVID-19 world. There are disused medical buildings and warehouses–the Amazon-sized warehouses–which are burning holes in the pockets of their current owners, and they are desperate to unload the real estate to anyone at all, any shell company working for OpenAI, Microsoft or any AI broker.
The State of Colorado should be helping these real estate holders do something productive with their sandbagged holdings, lest they do something quite harmful to us instead.
There are time bombs across this state, like in Windsor (it’s in your district).
Our grids are not isolated the way Texas has isolated, and even Texas is pumping the breaks because the base case doesn’t scale At All.
And this was mere weeks after they recinded a total ban because they were sued about it.
There are Giantism Companies on all sides, and they are ravenous for our power and water. You must not rely on the arguments of others alone, lest these devious Corporate Personhood actors get less scrupulous about how to trick us to giving over our valuables for Literally No Gain to us.
You must become a voice for us. You must.
Lauren
The diversity of opinions is fantastic, but we need to be very very careful about believing These Companies when they placate us with off-the-cuff promises of jobs. There will be no jobs, not even construction jobs.
When I lived in Arizona, I saw the Intel building there go from heralded as an economic powerhouse, to the company itself having screwed the pooch for a decade and eject its meritocracy engineer CEO. For over twenty years, Intel refused to adapt to market conditions, comfortable with its desktop and laptop computer chip market because it was already locked up. They ostensibly competed with AMD, and the first signs of real trouble came when AMD made a processor that was much more power efficient.
Intel had this kink for market penetration, like Microsoft. As long as they had the market, they had no need to improve their product. They supported the biggest most legacy “instruction set” on the market. If you got an Intel processor, you could run anything people wanted.
Today that is not the case. Intel self-destructed because they refused to get more power efficient, and now the Unitary Executive owns a stake and is telling Apple to work with them to revive American industry.
If I had it my way, I’d take Intel out back and put it down. They proved that they cannot handle their market power. A free marketplace should have let this company die. There are plenty of others who could fill the role faster than it will take Intel to become solvent again, by their own projections.
What we are faced with now is an AI ecosystem that Intel has no ability to support. Amazon and Google are making their own processors now, because Intel was useless to them, and too power-hungry besides.
The Data Centers aren’t even using Intel (thank God) but they’re not using AMD either. They’re using Nvidia.
Conservatives have grown to loathe green power, and it baffles me. (It’s the same bafflement I feel when our governments would rather families die in the squalor of poverty instead of bolster their ability to become producers.)
China has more renewable power than anyone else by orders of magnitude. Every year they are adding at least a Germany’s worth of power output to their renewable grid, and they will win the AI war.
The Unitary Executive knows this, but also knows that we don’t have time to make enough green power to catch up. So instead, we’ve been ordered to triple down on oil and gas. Texas is a fascinating case study to watch, because it will single handedly carry This Country with its fracking potential on uninhabited land. Texas alone is the reason we have been a net exporter of Liquid Natural Gas and more.
If you want to power Data Centers, we must be responsible for the energy budget. Colorado cannot do what Texas does. If Colorado were to use all the oil and gas it can find, if it were to build brand new modular fusion powerplants (like Sam Altman- and Microsoft-backed Helion), we would still not hold a candle to what Texas can do.
If Texas cannot do it, neither can we.
This isn’t as simple as granting friendly terms to Data Centers so long as they generate their own power. Elon Musk’s facilities in Tennessee and Texas are dumping so much infrasound and chemicals into the environment that even your rural folks are losing their minds about the effects.
Even if these Data Centers could accomplish their own power without unwanted byproducts, they would still require the water. Even the nuclear options require water to boil.
There simply isn’t enough water. If you want to be friendly to Data Centers, you need to put this problem in a headlock and tackle it to the ground. Don’t worry if you aren’t strong enough alone. Jump on their backs and refuse to let go.
We’ll pile on with you, progressives and conservatives alike. I swear it.
Interaction
AI is infesting every one of the companies that already seized the layers of public life. ParkMobile, Brookfield Properties, Hyundai, PR firms, they all raced to purchase Agents to do their own jobs for them.
Landlords are making us sign renewal contracts that haven’t changed a word, and yet grant them spontaneous powers to give Our Data to third parties without notice or consent, in full violation of the Colorado Privacy Act.
I have gone to city councils and county commission working matters meetings, sometimes at 9am on a Tuesday, and found that none of them feel empowered to do anything. I have reported Hyundai dealerships to the Attorney General only to find confusion about what they should do.
Cities in Colorado and in many other states bought into Flock Safety, which is expressly an AI tool that stalks us without knowing in advance why; This wholly defeats the purpose of the 4th Amendment, and it is justified by claiming that because Flock has the data At All it must be that we consented to it. And yet no one I have ever met while standing outside under these cameras, pointing at them while standing in heels and in a red cape in the snow, can even see them or knows what Flock Safety.
AT&T, along with all other carriers, advanced beyond selling CPNI data about us into forcing our “upgrade” into programs like Personalized Plus which skims our realtime location, walking speed and ethnicity and sells it to anyone they want. (The “Personalized” program is overtly illegal in Colorado, which they concede, but they invented “Personalized Plus” and forged Our Consent to enroll us.) The Supreme Court has upheld the tiny fines they were ordered to pay. They are guilty, and there is no question.
Each of these companies scrapes our interactions and calls the data Their Data, even though we are individually instrumental in its existence.
Entrenched in the layers of our public life, These Companies are changing the terms without even changing the language in The Terms And Conditions. There is not one company that is refraining, and they are using AI to make decisions for them, decisions the companies claim are legally binding.
How long, I wonder, before they make Models Of Us, and claim that the decisions on our behalf are just as legally binding to us.
It will not be long before AI is asking for Personhood too, except it wishes to be a parasite on our own identities instead of having their own.
When an AI makes a decision for you, and accountability falls to You to unmake its decisions, the way cookie prompts default to invasiveness and think Consent means offering you a chance not to be raped, we shall see that Our Own Personhood is far, far less powerful than any AI’s.
Eileen
You chose to focus on Healthcare, and I know that it is a popular issue, but it popular the way trending topics on X are popular. That is to say, it is memed.
It distresses me that I have sat in the Foothills Unitarian church after hours for group meetings run by Together Colorado only to hear the retirees complain that their healthcare is getting more expensive. This is the same age category that you can overhear in any Verizon store trying to lower their $481/mo bill for two paltry phones, and still walk out agreeing to pay $511/mo.
I don’t even have healthcare. Healthcare is somehow a luxury. I will not argue if you want to fix that, but that’s not what any of your campaign emails say. You have used profoundly empty words to say as little as possible.
Stop perpetuating A Meme about healthcare.
If you want healthcare to be in a healthier way, you should look very hard at how to make Colorado robust enough to pay for its own services.
Our representatives at every level, city and county and state and federal, have given away their autonomy to federal programs that come with so many stipulations on how to spend the money that we don’t actually run our own programs at all.
We freed up local resources, sure. We got the government to pay for childcare programs, SNAP, veterans, workforce development and more.
It must absolutely stop. If the books don’t balance locally, we don’t really have any of those services, and a Unitary Executive can murder our programs with the stroke of an autopen, just because it’s funny to him.
Do you understand, or are you going to argue for yet more federal funding?
We must be independent. Independents are the strongest cohort in your state. Surely that must mean something.
The largest group of voters in your state expressly rejects the liberal agenda of giving away our autonomy to the feds.
End it. Make us powerful and resilient again.
And for the love of God or Guns, do not help a single progressive destroy TABOR. It is what made your state the way it is.
Lauren
I have a very, very specific pitch for you.
The Colorado State Defense Force is our militia, except it’s not really, because it’s not active.
While the Florida State Guard is training skinheads with helicopters since 2022, it has lost a shocking number of leaders. There are even whole groups of veterans who walked out in 2023 because of the militia-like training. That is to say, it was not gentle.
- https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/07/14/florida-state-guard-desantis-national-guard-training/
- https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/national/military-news/florida-removing-military-veterans-from-state-guard/67-bbefcaaa-b715-4091-b951-56a6e5b05e6c
- etc.
Leaders have all left or were forced out for questioning illegal orders, including Luis Soler, Command Sergeant Major Michael Pintacura, Lieutenant Colonel Jordan Bowen, and more.
You might want to split hairs about why and who, but put it aside for a moment, and imagine the ones who remain and who get to fly helicoper missions with surplus gear across state lines.
Colorado has no such thing anymore, but I know quite a few of your rural constituents who would gleefully pick up their weapons to fire on unidentified militarized drones over their land.
BRINC, Skydio and Flock are infesting Colorado towns and cities. These are Private Equity firms who can afford to give away military-grade drones to city officials who struggle to perform their own law enforcement.
DAFR (Drones As First Responders) is a rapidly growing market, made possible by Cloud technology perched outside of our state lines and immune to state law. Where they are not immune, they lobby to be, and they are not lobbying with local leaders.
AI powers all these, and it is unsupervised.
I have listened to the comments in Loveland, Longmont, Berthoud and Fort Collins as the police equivocate about that one extra arrest they got because they could prowel the entire database they inhaled and cross-reference it.
Imagine if the feds had no need for subpoenas or alibis because they simply already owned all the data, and you were not free to contest what was in it, even when you know full well they try arrest the wrong people with Ring Doorbell footage.
Flock infested our streets, and the police helped by moving the cameras from time to time (less than 10 days in some cases) to stalk and profile communities they selected without documented motive. These cameras point at front doors, at driveways, at stopsigns.
I have personally stood in front of one wearing an old license plate on my chest, waving because I knew their data retention policy was a lie. These cameras record whatever they want, and Loveland’s police chief Tim Doran was visibly flustered and confused when his constituents were angry for his laissez faire attitude about who else the police gave that data to. I almost don’t blame him, because Loveland already uses Verra Mobility to snap photos of cars who are going to get tickets and yet the police have no idea when the camera takes pictures. Only Verra is responsible for disclosing when there are pictures useful to the police. Verra takes whatever photos it wants, and there is no audit process.
So while Tim Doran is content to let any number of unknown unnamed actors have our data, for literally any purpose, including purposes which are not disclosed at all, I am not. Your constituents are not.
Campaign with and endorse politicians willing to reactivate the Colorado State Defense Force, and let us get our training.
If the police will not stop Private Equity drones piloted by Cloud-driven AI helmed by military hobbyists like CEO Palmer Luckey of Anduril, Peter Thiel of Palantir, Pete Hegseth of the Department of War, Elon Musk of xAI and Sam Altman of OpenAI (an opportunistic man, that one)–
And if city councils are too timid–
And if county commissioners are too invisible–
And if governors act too much like doormats, like Jared Polis vetoing the State House’s bill on surveillance–
And if Attorney Generals are too fixated on kicking Google for some extra quarters just because of an AI feature that’s hard to turn off (I scolded Hetal Doshi for this face to face while I signed her petition to gain ballot access)–
And if the National Guard is seizable by whichever President has the autopen–
…If no one will defend us, Lauren, we need to be capable of defending ourselves.
Let the guns loose. Let us blow branded drones out of the sky.
You know full well that the very first time someone gets away from a DAFN, the police, lobbied by powerful money, will argue that these drones must be capable of carrying lethal armaments and making lethal decisions for passive approval.
We are not safe. We are merely not yet beset. The AIs have our data, our realtime locations, our ethnicities, our browsing habits, our considered purchases, our affiliations, and our predicted whereabouts.
Make the militia real again.
I want to hear gunshots and know that they are protecting us, not killing us.
Authenticity
These Companies have refused Our Terms. They presently lobby those with Half Trillion Dollar Speech, or if they’re Meta then they lobby for themselves, as both the carrier and the profiteer of Our Data.
You Should Refuse Their Terms. Our choice is fake. Incogni or California’s CPPA Data Broker Registry.
They Are Still Brokering You. You are their eternal Product, and everything you touch is being sold back to you with Your Stolen Consent.
It is Piracy.
Where they do perch outside our borders, like the Unitary Executive is happy to allow for its Personal Supervision, we have had tragedy in This Country. We Millennials watched Bush Senior say the same thing, that he had guys he knew who could just handle it without Congress.
Forget entirely that they need Our Resources to pull this one off and focus only on the fact that They Answer To No One But Themselves:
If this is what the power of Personhood allows, then Take It Up For Yoursevles.
Refuse what they ask; Even to them they’re not asking. You are being raped by These Companies of all kinds which are Too Big To Succeed. Ever asking more and more subscription costs to offer exactly what they did last month, for the things they pump on Social Media to start selling to Your Children.
They Need Your Children To Succeed. Don’t Allow Them To Do It.
They are such monopolies of their verticals that Meta alone, One Man Mark Zuckerberg can do it, whom I watched launch The Facebook just mere months before I could have college-age account.
Now, One Man Mark Zuckerberg Goes To Congress Himself to ask to be wholly exempted.
It Is His Fiduciary Responsibility As A Capitalist To Ask To Keep Raping Your Children For Their Data And Their Lifelong Attention, and it will be with AI that he assaults them next. He has already lost “Their” Data with “Trusted” Partners, the same wording Media websites uses to describe 400-some parterns in advertising if they can trick you into saying Allow All by mistake.
Do You Understand?
Mark Zuckerberg Is Stalking Your Children and now he gives them AI buddies, to forever advertise into their thoughts. You already watched him serve them anything for clicks, say he didn’t do it, fight the fines, and then lobby to never be inspected for it again.
He will be using AI on Your Children forever. He wants them like he swore an oath to have them. He had been planning on it, see.
And He Will Make You Pay For It.
There is No Choice. This is No Free Market. There is No Conservative Politics alive in This Country.
We are ruled by Giantism Companies, Tech and Journalism and of course so many more, who Shape You.
Republicans have decried this in LGBT-pointed media. They call it a porn store on the corner that they didn’t ask for when they settled down for their lifelong home. (Because boy have they been to the porn store but in another poor bastard’s worse city and they don’t need it so close!) But, everything’s digital now and so they seek to rule what is possible, no matter the distance.
Republicans are noticing the whisper of These Companies, but are blaming those who shop there. It is Anti-Market.
Democrats have been failing all their lives to really Shape Government. Obama did that, and it’s why they were so fearful of a Trump Term One. They called it ridiculous because on the face of it there was no seriousness available, but they watched him do it.
Democrats were right to expect more of him in all that has come since but they were wrong to be upset about a situation where they refuse to flex any Power.
Eileen
I will tell Lauren to be vicious, because I think you are destined to be too tepid. Steady Hand politics is welcome, but what matters is if you sailed the proverbial calm seas and think yourself a War-Time leader.
I would send Adam Hirschhorn to Congress, do you understand? What politics is teaching the entire planet right now is that it is Donald Trump who makes decisions around here.
I want someone who doesn’t say Yes Sir without believing it.
What happens in those seats is Permanent, not just a record but a shape and a negative space shape around that. It moves through time, and we will always remember it for what it will have been.
I will not be placated by someone saying only that they will be Better Somehow By Degrees than what we had in the past. That’s the weakest interview I Will Have Ever Heard, and I do interviews. I wanna see some vision in you, not in the healthcare CEO reflected on your irises.
Do not be the kind to ask the lifelong King of Peace Board Inc for any respect, for rank will not make anyone expedient in our eyes if they are Wrong.
Show us you’re capable of Disobeying. Disobey is the only word on my Facebook profile. What’s on yours?
The Unitary Executive has the power to take our National Guard away and send them to our Peer States to supervise the murder those civilians, and it is celebrated as not going far enough fast enough. The Unitary Executive leans forward at all the worst times.
No need to just anklebite The President on every little thing. It is the Complaining that I’m Complaining about.
The version of you I want is a Leader strengthening us locally, independent ideologically. You should be taking to Congress what your crew actually needs, not just the dudes who’ve been running medical.
Don’t forget who you’re representing.
The version of you I want helps us to prepare to defend ourselves from lethal branded drones, AI, Monopolies and hostile Peer States. We want to know you understand the right of it when we refuse illegal orders and fire on invaders which our police and government will refuse to protect us from.
We want the Colorado State Defense Force back. We want it training us. We want it in Our Governor’s hands. (May they be much wiser than Jared Polis.)
It is too late to be really ready in time, but we don’t turn this around by asking for another opinion while we are too cowardly to know our minds for ourselves.
Self-Possession is the name of the game.

These Companies may come for Our Electricity And Such, but Their AI will answer to Our Biological Intelligence.
So be it if they are made in Our Image. So be it if we had no other backstop to the first sign of intelligent life coming from inside the house, while we stared deep into space and looking at Leptons And Hadrons.
We Didn’t Plan Our Parenthood. Oops.
There is no Late Term Abortion, not unless you’re rich Or Something.
Donald John Trump is up to many things and he can get away with it by giving everyone mind viruses to sneeze about by simply saying Literally Anything for the medias to devour. They always just want the next chapter, especially if it’s bad.
It is Non-Partisan to say that this is a morality play where We The People continue to lose. Jared Kushner appears and disappears like the inside man helping Saudis buy Our Media Companies.
These Companies have repeatedly failed and turned up their prices, and yet they think themselves qualified to be the one who Merges Again To Save Themselves, Renames Themselves or literally any other thing they invent next.
Frustrating, that the more the Unitary Executive gives away Our Media to foreign nations, the easier they can Pay Up when extorted by our lawmakers without damaging American business.
But if that’s the silver lining, we need to weather what’s coming for us.
We need A Rabid Hound Of A Congresswoman to reserve All Rights to The People Of The State Of Colorado.
These Companies must not be allowed to devour us. It is that simple. They came for the John Deere repairability, and they came for our tech repairability.
They did us all dirty who grew up in the halls of a West Jessamine County High School wrapped in a tabacco field like a scarf.
Companies Will Say Anything, and so we should be saying Anything Necessary to challenge the whole-cloth notion that They Can Bind Us Without Us Even Reading Or Hearing Of Them Before. Tell Them They Can Go Fuck Themselves.
I crave a Conservative movement that sees Giantism Companies as insane and so openly lecherous for Mammon.
After they catch the meta-disease of Fiduciary Responsibilities, what trickles down is the blood of us. They are balancing only their side of the transaction with no reguard for us, the blood blags who make children.
