Salem Brought a Guillotine To Oppose New Data Center. Company Reps Left, Feeling 'Unsafe'.

Excellent. That's the point! You're learning!

It’s such a self-report to show that you’re scared shitless of a guillotine
I feel perfectly safe hanging around a guillotine, how about you?
Have they tried considering why they are afraid of the guillotine, and work on that?
Good.
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...
Stay unsafe, company reps ❤️
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.
replies:
I assume they just finished the meeting via zoom and increased the bribes to the city council?
Maybe they get a hint of how regular people feel daily with these companies around, but that would require self-reflection.
This was obviously a warning. Had Salem actually been serious they'd have brought kindling and torches.

Holy shit, I see Lemmy make jokes about guillotines all the time, but it turns out, that may actually be the answer!
Bye!
We celebrating Bastille day!?
Gadget Review almost certainly uses LLMs to generate their articles.

Is Stefano DiMera for or against the Data Centres?

So the CEO just assumed that the guillotine was for him?
Hmm.

This story has been posted all over the net, about 60 times on Lemmy today, and absolutely nobody has said “this seems unreasonable”
If you see a flying bug with black and yellow stripes you know not to fuck with it. Oregon is basically saying “buzz buzz” here.
Weird how this can be done for one CEO but we can't do it for Trump and congress?
C'mon! Let's step it up a notch!

It's called "disruption". A marketplace innovation imported from Europe.
replies:
The city of Salem, Oregon is in a state of emergency over it's water availability and a data center was being proposed which would use up all of the water and some of the neighboring water districts. The guillotine was as much for the CEOs as it was for the public officials.
A shocking amount of communities across America have been found to be working in secret with data centers to build one in the area and give very generous permits for water and electricity usage. It wouldn't be surprising to have communities start revolting against local municipalities to stop secret arbitration and make the people responsible for data centers in the community be the public official they are.
replies:
As well they should.
Good

The irony of the guy in the video using an LLM overview about a data center construction being stalled.
