Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, I don't think that will do anything but mildly inconvenience them.
We had these chiller units at the lab I used to work at. They are built like a tank, the only vulnerable part is the two pipes carrying water in and out of the building. Plus our security people insisted we surround the chiller with a twelve foot fence topped with barbed wire.
But even if you do shoot out one of the pipes, all that happens is an alarm goes off the and the system does and orderly shuts down. Our system was installed by the lowest bidder and failed all the time, no really problem.
So if you were to do this, all you have done is risk your life and liberty to mildly annoy the powers that be. You'd be more effective running for local government and cutting them off from the municipal water system.
Plus these building aren't wood, they are steel and concrete, you can't even burn them down. Only a transient power event, that overwhelms the surge protection would do any harm.
Say like covertly putting up a lightning rod and running a wire to the building.
But they know they are hated, and these places are well guarded. You will never get close to one. I just don't see a realistic way to do any damage except through the power line running into the building. Maybe via a substation.
As nice as it is to fantasize about this stuff, you're attacking a fortified fixed position. They know you are coming, and law enforcement and government is on their side. Seems like a suicide mission.
Yeah the best bet would be to attack the power lines and be a pain. Maybe attack road infrastructure in the area, for example if they have a bridge undermine it and let them have fun. But yeah the best bet would be to just push out pro AI local officials and then revoke permits and whatnot. Worst case scenario you can't get out of a contract but you can revoke police assistance and ban them from having security or something, would probably depend on how that type of shit works on the legal side of things which I am not familiar with.
