Gina gonna find out quickly that freezing electricity rates in Texas isn’t even possible. Power generation and retail electric prices are not regulated by the state. The Texas PUC only regulates transmission lines (about 25% of the delivered price) and rates are required by SCOTUS precedents that go back to English Common Law to include a return on capital.
Yes, Democrats on laser like focused on job creation & lowering inflation...@IfindRetards

Super intelligence leads to abundance
SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%”
Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A:
“Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.”
“So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.”
“Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.”
“So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.”
“The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.”
“So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”

Alabama is about to experience an economic boom like we've never seen before. Incoming Governor Tommy Tuberville has announced that the state will be welcoming data centers and teach all elementary school kids to use AI.
"We're going to do data centers. It will help you tremendously. The tax money that comes from those things is unbelievable for schools, for law enforcement, for anything that's done."
"I think there are 27 states that said we aren't going to build data centers — We're NOT going to do that. 'It makes too much noise, It's going to ruin the climate — BULL CRAP. They are listening to all this nonsense they see on social media that's coming from China because China does not want us to grow."
This is how serious leaders act. @CoachForGov is a serious leader.

.@StephenM: “The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids, that goes to church every Sunday, and is filled with a feeling of inadequacy and jealousy — and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress, and to inflict pain and suffering.
It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who are assembled — to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They’re all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerisms...
Their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred.”

Nobody believes this.
Democrats are even asking questions it's so obvious.
2,848 out of 3,109 counties is beyond unrealistic, especially when you learn that states across the country registered millions of "new voters" without ANY verification of U.S. citizenship, with some counties even having more ballots counted than registered voters.

Elon Musk says the rest of the world will make about 20 gigawatts of AI chips this year, and the TeraFab is aiming for 30 times next year’s global output
“So if you want to get to, say, a terawatt a year of chip production, which is our goal, that’s the reason it’s called the TeraFab. When I say TeraFab, there’s three possible meanings to TeraFab. One is terror, T-E-R-R-O-R, which I think sometimes people are like, why would you want a TeraFab?"
"And then there’s T-E-R-R-A, which just means earth, but it’s actually T-E-R-A, as in terawatt. So, but arguably, all three apply. It’s terrifyingly large."
"So the rest of the world will make this year around 20 gigawatts of AI chips, maybe 25. And then next year, depending on projections, I believe it’s maybe around 35 to 45 gigawatts of AI chips next year. But if you want to do a terawatt, now you need 30 times what current global production will be, roughly, next year.”
Data centers in Loudoun County, Virginia: “We get $1.2 billion a year in local tax revenue, about 40% of all of our tax revenue...on 3% of our land”
Buddy Rizer, the county's economic development chief, explained how “data center alley” grew:
“We would have never looked at having 55 million square feet of data center, 230-some buildings. That was not the plan. The plan was to utilize the fiber loop, the internet exchange, to utilize a reclaimed water line, and buildings that were already built. That was the plan, right? And so that made a lot of sense.”
“But, you know, fast forward, today we are largely dependent on that. We get $1.2 billion a year in local tax revenue, about 40% of all of our tax revenue. And while that looks overwhelming, data centers take only about 3% of all of our land in the county. So it’s quite a return on investment. You know, 40%, $1.2 billion, on 3% of our land.”

Something striking: when you dig into the recent manufacturing employment gains, they're in sectors that have high tariffs. For example, fabricated metals added 29,000 jobs since December 2025 with an average tariff of 25%. People love to claim that tariffs harm manufacturing by making inputs expensive, but that's tough to see in the employment data. Graph:

SpaceXSI's Colossus 2 in Memphis has been ranked the most powerful SI data center on the planet
What Elon Musk is building in Memphis is absolutely extraordinary
Colossus 2 is part of a massive expansion of SI computing infrastructure, bringing together enormous GPU clusters, advanced power systems, and high-speed networking to train the next generations of Grok
SpaceXSI is targeting approximately 1.2 MILLION Blackwell GPUs at Colossus 2 by the end of this year
Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite highlighted the extraordinary economic impact of this expansion, including approximately $63 MILLION in annual revenue for local schools, DeSoto County, and the City of Southaven
And SpaceXSI is still expanding
The scale and speed of this buildout are unlike anything we've seen before

🚨 DeKalb, Illinois, built a NEW elementary school without borrowing a dime.
Meta's data center paid $46.4 MILLION in property taxes from 2022–2024, with $28.6 million going to local schools.
