The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force.
Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon.
Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

I'm sure it's obvious to anyone; if they cared about nutrition, we wouldn't have Seymour slop.
If they cared about healthcare, we wouldn't have the current staffing crisis.
If they cared about research, they wouldn't have cut funding to the bone.
Look at what they do, not what they say.

I don't know how we make it happen, but the abuse of urgency under this term of government has been so nakedly damaging to our democratic infrastructure, that it's the strongest argument for constitutional change I've seen in a while.
This is just disgusting: an assault on how the kāwanatanga should be meeting its obligations under the Tiriti being pushed through using urgency.
Opposition parties should make clear they will require a supermajority for urgency in future.

Happy second iRex ferry arrival week! This is the week the second rail enabled bigger ferry would have arrived in Aotearoa, six months after the first. We currently will not receive any new ferries until 2029, and at present have one ferry working and will go 4 years without a rail enabled ferry.
