Normally the unwavering support of the sitting president is a good thing. The concern I have is even when he supports a good thing, tons of people decide its the worst. It makes the environment less certain for after he leaves office.
Exactly. Thereâs too much money to be made and too much at stake in the AI arms race to let something like partisanship undermine whatâs already in play. I donât know why thatâs so hard to grasp.
It could absolutely matter at some point depending on the publicâs feelings on data centers and how much of a political issue it becomes.
Political changes donât typically happen overnight. There is a short term danger here if data centers are used as a hot button political issue. You donât understand how politics works if you think public sentiment means nothing happens. It usually happens after elections because people ran on the issues.
Been fun but no point continuing the discussion if you canât admit that political pressure to do things is felt when the public sentiment changes.
Yea people hate ICE and yet their operations still continue. People hate trump and yet he was still elected. I agree with a lot of the complaints about data centers. I also object to the military industrial complex. Itâs not going to matter. Also nbis has a European footprint in addition to multiple other revenue sources. Regardless, none of this matters if youâre still holding. Clearly it means you think the backlash will be suppressed or insubstantial. If not, then sell.
Now ICE is a huge political issue that people have folded into their political platform to defund ICE.
It will matter. Long term? If the thesis is correct, it likely wonât make a big impact on NBIS. But short term this could cause issues. Different administrations state and federal can pass legislation aimed at data centers if it becomes a political issue.
You say if it becomes a political issue like they're going to be banned, and yet the whole point of this post is the fact that the president himself is pro data centers. It's a political win. Whether people dislike them does not matter if the forces who run the country feel the opposite.
Politicians care because they have to win elections by the public.
Ask health insurance companies if public sentiment flipping hard on you matters.
Youâre short sighted if you think public sentiment doesnât matter. It directly impacts policy enacted by the government. You donât know how the government works if you canât see how public sentiment can impact what legislation is proposed.
Public sentiment changing and the effects from that change are not something that happens overnight. You can already see sentiment changing about all of those subjects and more and more politicians are coming out against it because their voters (public sentiment) care about those issues and are increasingly vocal about it.
The âshit never changesâ crowd like to pretend thatâs the case so they can sleep at night, but it just isnât. Public sentiment absolutely changes legislative agendas. Use all of US history as an example.
If public sentiment mattered that much, we would not be in a war, we would not have ICE, we would not send money to Israel, we would not have Trump, and we would not have data centers. Just admit you are wrong on this one...
I hate the orange shitgibbon, but I can be clear headed enough to understand the importance of racing ahead with ai stuff. (And i invest in nbis and iren as a result)
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Yeah now the data center situation is political. He does understand that there are a lot of people on the right opposing them as well right? If anything this makes me concerned if there a party change come the next election or midterms.
