Is it really this hard to just say "no" to Microslop? You're realising that it'll hurt the country and its population (as well as the environment and by extension literally every single person on earth), why the fuck would you put you own personal wealth first?

I don't get that mindset.

This is why you're not a billionaire. It takes a special kind of cutthroat

The word you're looking for is sociapth. You need to be a sociopath to become a billionaire

They should just say no. Unless Microsoft pays for the construction of the renewable power plants to power the centers. Before they turn it on

That way the country at least has some nice infrastructure when the DC inevitably doesn't actually get built
