4. Don't forget ROI

A few years ago I upgraded my life by moving out of a dingy, drab armpit town in the SW U.S. Low desert in AZ. The Saudis had a significant stake in the local monopoly electric co., APS.

The combination of rising temperatures from global warming--they had to move the winter vegetable season forward by A MONTH because summer lasted so much longer--and the profit-driven price increases from APS were already causing my electric bill to escalate rapidly.

I can only imagine what the residents are experiencing now. Given the corrupt local government, wouldn't surprise me if data centers were being built there despite a falling water table. Bunch of dumbsh*ts--heavily puke, full of global warming deniers including LDS who vehemently disagreed that the warming was anthropogenic.
