    We all see this coming, but the billionaires and our state/county/city leaders assure us everything will be fair and fine.

    Same deal with water. It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.

    Fuck all this.
