    That may take care of itself.

    That's the minority viewpoint at the moment. Other articles talk about the datacenters scrambling for power -- gas, coal, nukes, whatever. I'm not personally optimistic. There is a reason for the term 'AI winter' and I've lived through them all.

    From a Telegram post...

    BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has warned President Trump that mass
    deportations could severely impact the U.S. workforce, raising concerns
    about who will be left to harvest crops.

    He has also told Trump’s team that removing large numbers of workers
    could create a critical shortage of electricians needed to build AI data
    centers.

    "We’re going to run out of electricians that we need to build out AI data
    centers."

    Let's see how quickly Rothschild-controlled Trump genuflects to the Rothschild-enforcer Larry Fink, co-owner of the snake pit, control-freak BlackRock corporation.

    As far as harvesting crops, when I was a kid they had the Bracero Program, where Mexicans could legally cross the border, work during harvest season, and return to Mexico (where their earnings went much further). Fink just wants cheap (almost slave) labor. Worthless piece of crap.

    As for AI data centers — anything that gets in the way of those being built,
    I'm 100% in favor of. But the reality is that a lot of NATIVE Americans, working in Amazon sweatshop warehouses, would be happy to learn a trade
    (like being an electrician) that would actually pay a living wage.

    Fink can shove it where the sun don't shine. Bastard.

    As if you need a Salvorian or a Costa Rican to set up the electricity in
    your building. There are electricians all over North America looking for
    work; they don't need to bring them in from elsewhere. Heck, I'm pretty
    sure that they used illegals to set up the wiring in this house. The
    result is that the plugs are all upside-down and there was an exposed
    wire outside the house constantly causing the fire alarm to go off.
    Apparently, it could have burned our entire house and complex down at
    any time. I'd rather Joe Smith do the work than Jesus Rodriguez.

    The bureaucrats were happy to say "They can learn how to code." as they destroyed well paying US jobs. Since it looks like many of them will be unemployed soon let them learn to pull wire.
