Sorry, had to get that off my chest...

Sounds like yet more proof stock prices should never influence public policy

Every eye is on Mississippi right now. Gonna be a close one.

Bear in mind that besides just Democrats winning, the market reaction could be related to the fact that there were many ballot measures on limiting or putting moratoriums on data centers across the country, and it looks like all but one have passed. The message is clear that they're going to be met with huge resistance to building them pretty much everywhere.

I'd almost put money on the fact the orange turd and his ilk are shorting some stocks and about to sell a LOT of it off kicking off a sharp dive

Oh noes! Won't anybody think of the poor investors! Oh the humanity!

Shutting down the data center boom entirely would be far better.

Well, so much for that! The Dow is up over 1100 this morning (as of 10:20 ET)

Uh?

The Dems don't have to slow anything down, shitty AI economics are already doing that.

They won't be getting that bailout they were hoping for though.

for state or local restrictions, they'll just build elsewhere. as far as nationwide--very unlikely that anything happens. controlling congress don't mean jack unless you also have the white house, or it's a super majority that can tell an 'uncooperative' president 'fuck you, we're overriding your vetoes'.
