🏠 Americans were told our economy depended on the cheap labor created by illegal immigration. At the same time, illegal immigration increased demand for housing, making homeownership more expensive and out of reach for many families. It's time to put law-abiding American citizens first and make the American Dream attainable again. Peter St Onge, Ph.D. is a Senior Economist in the Thomas A.

Panic over data centers is wildly exaggerated — they use less water than golf courses and less energy than the USA’s fridges

The Heritage Foundation senior economist Peter St Onge, Ph.D. breaks down the economic cost of the ongoing war in Iran as the United States returns to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz alongside a bombing campaign. “I think one of the biggest surprises of the Iran War has been that inflation never bled through beyond energy. Companies are not raising prices—presumably because they expect that inflation is going to come back down as soon as the war ends.” Watch The Matt Gaetz Show on OAN Live Today!

Bill Maher on Data Centers: “To put it in perspective… golf uses WAY MORE [water than data centers]. Golf and f*cking raising… almonds is the thing we raise here. Like almonds and golf, I’m against both of them.” “I’m not against almonds I’m against raising them where we don’t have water to do it. And it’s like 7 TIMES the amount of water is being used on golf courses [than data centers].” “So maybe the issue itself is water.”

ECONOMIST SUGGESTS THE POSSIBILITY OF “GETTING THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF STUDENT LOANS ALTOGETHER” TO CUT SPENDING IN THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL Economist at The Heritage Foundation, Fellow at the Mises Institute, and Author of Profstonge Weekly, Peter St Onge, Ph.D. tells Matt Gaetz: “Student loans - Sen. Mike Lee said ‘get out of it. Quit it,’ If it’s a real major, you can borrow money from a bank. If you’re going to become a doctor or an engineer…However, nobody’s going to lend you money to go get a gender studies degree…so you could argue, just get the government out of student loans altogether.”

“Facts don’t really matter for the de-growth mob.” — The Washington Post’s James Hohmann The anti–data center hysteria around water was built on a bogus stat about a data center’s water consumption in Chile that was off by a factor of 1,000. All U.S. data centers use less than 0.5% of America’s freshwater. The war on data centers is built on junk math and is funded by China and foreign billionaires!

Data Centers are coaching their workers on how to lie to the public and their family about how Data Center water usage is actually a good thing “I work at an architecture firm that mainly does data centers, and just to give you all an idea of how out of touch the people making these things are. Today we had a meeting where we were essentially asked to defend the water usage of data centers to our friends and family in conversation at the dinner table or online. They provided them with a graph to break down water usage (included) but I’ll go over it The chart compares “domestic water usage” (toilets, sinks, etc.) for a typical-sized closed-loop data center of 600,000 gallons per year against other things of “equivalent square footage”: Cornfield: 5.85 million gallons Vineyard: 5.60 million Golf course: 5.45 million Peanut farm: 2.88 million Movie theater: 935,000 5 households: 730,000 They make the point that “Data centers aren’t the big water users you think” But that’s not really true “It's still using an incredible amount of water — and the key piece of evidence here was when someone gets pissed at a data center's water usage, ask them if they like golf. And when they say yes, let them know that a golf course uses 9 times as much water much water as a data center. That'll shut them up, because no one disapproves of golf courses using an exorbitant amount of water…” Not to mention, this is incredibly misleading The 600,000 gallons is mostly just building operations of things like sinks and bathrooms. It downplays or completely excludes the main water use, which is cooling the servers More fake propaganda

When people say data centers use millions of gallons of water, they're describing an old technology. Before, water went into evaporative cooling towers. Warm water pulled heat off the AI chips, then evaporated into the air to shed it. It was effective, but it burned through fresh water continuously, which is where the headline numbers come from today around "data centers use a massive amount of water." The data centers we revealed at Build today don't work that way. The cooling loop is closed. Water is added once during construction and recirculates indefinitely between the servers and the chillers. No evaporation, no fresh-water resupply! Satya put the scale in plain terms: a full year of water use is roughly what a single restaurant uses. Keep in mind that for us, every liter and every watt is an optimization target. The economics and the environment push in the same direction!
