Texas seems to be the hot draw for data centers. Climate, water, .....?

The environmental impact and needs seems large

Big push by Texas O&G companies to use their production waters as the water for data centers. Couple of AI companies just signed 8+ figure contracts with these O&G companies to have access to their production water, pretreat it, and then use that as their water source. It’s a really savvy idea and as long as the pretreatment works then it’ll solve a lot of the water issues for data centers in Texas

dpic do you not see any self irony when in one post you complain about reduced spending on Medicaid and in another you complain about government spending too much???
I'm not sure sharing a viral tweet qualifies as complaining but if the choice is between tax cuts for the rich and healthcare for those in need, Ill choose the latter.

Did Massie hurt your feelings by telling the truth?

They said they will be returning all the tariffs to consumers via lower prices and raised their guidance for next quarter.
Here's how that will work...
That 20 oz box of cereal that sold for $6/box will become a 14 oz box selling for $5/box.

Price dropped 16%!!!!!!!!
Size of box dropped 30%!!!!!!
Trump and Bessent..."WE GOT WALMART TO LOWER PRICES"

MAGA will eat that shiit up with a sponge and a spoon.🤣🤣🤣

Our deficit would have been smaller without the 4 trillion we added with the tax cuts and no one would have had to lose their healthcare. Comprende?

entendo! but no one had to lose healthcare. Nobody was kicked off, the government just complied with the Biden admin expanded subsidies sunset provision. The people who had healthcare before COVID could have just reverted to their old plans. People who didn't have COVID could have purchased. it.

I'd be Ok with doing away with the tax cuts. Didn't help me in any way.

By the way, where did you get the $4trillion number??

The current U.S. Buffett Indicator sits at approximately 240%, which indicates that the stock market is strongly overvalued relative to gross domestic product (GDP)

When you add this in with the debt and geopolitical changes you must be a flat earther to believe this market is going up without massive liquidity input from our fiat treasury printing press.

But have no fear, as long as we have payroll 401K contributions for passive index investing, the mechanical bid will always show up on schedule 😉

Reference Canadian miners, metals and the TACO trade war rhetoric. Canada does not want to be a US state.

Precious metals are priced on global markets, not by bilateral U.S.-Canada trade agreements. Because trade wars create global economic uncertainty, investors are flocking to "safe-haven" assets like gold. Seems like the risk is in swap rates and the USD interest rates and perto dollar boost from Iran mess is running out of fuel.

Marsh may put on a hawkish face, but who believes a rate increase Is in the cards going into mid terms?
