Salem's city council voted unanimously to pursue a data center moratorium after residents — and a guillotine — pushed back on a $5.1 billion AI facility.

    Holy shit, I see Lemmy make jokes about guillotines all the time, but it turns out, that may actually be the answer!

    This was obviously a warning. Had Salem actually been serious they’d have brought kindling and torches.

    It’s such a self-report to show that you’re scared shitless of a guillotine

    Have they tried considering why they are afraid of the guillotine, and work on that?

    why would you feel unsafe?

    are you doing something that might cause you to get your head stuck in a guillotine? because, if you are, you might just deserve to feel unsafe…

    Maybe they get a hint of how regular people feel daily with these companies around, but that would require self-reflection.

    It’s sad when citizens have to actually bring physical proof of just how angry they are. Good leadership should see that their people aren’t with them well before guillotines and nooses start showing up to the public meetings.

      That’s not what they’re for. They’re for controlling you.

    I assume they just finished the meeting via zoom and increased the bribes to the city council?
