TechGod companies pledged to fund increased electricity costs from their data centers at Trump II's White House. Major TechGods did not personally show up to make the pledge. They sent representatives.
True to form Trump II, the Digital Caligula, worked in a revenue source for data centers. In times of emergency (likely caused by the strain they place on the system) data centers can sell their power back to the grid. In some areas that could fetch sky high rates.
This is not the first pledge by the rich and powerful. Recall the Giving Pledge?
Only eight of the twenty two deceased signers of the pledge fulfilled their commitment. That's a 66% failure rate. The pledge has not aged well.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
The public got to see one in action as Red Team Senator Tim Sheehy (PEU Blackstone Group) manhandled a U.S. Marine protesting Trump's War of Choice conducted in conjunction with our 51st state (Israel). Blackstone co-founder Steve Schwarzman must be proud.
Decorum has been replaced by Deplorum. Sheehy has a bright PEUture.
