AOC held up a jar of brown water in Congress and blamed a Meta data center.
We happen to have a PhD in Environmental Health on the team, so he put her claims to the test.
Here's his essay:

Many users dismissed AOC's claims about Meta data center water pollution as unsubstantiated overreach or emotional manipulation, while a few praised the analyses as thorough rebuttals.
"First, it isn’t true that the whole county’s water turned brown. The affected homes are likely a handful of properties near the construction site running on private wells, their own localized systems, drawing straight from the ground with no utility or treatment plant in between.
The most-documented case is Beverly and Jeff Morris, whose house sits about 1,000 feet from Meta’s Stanton Springs campus on the Newton–Morgan county line."

"So when AOC calls the jar “drinking water” destroyed by a data center, she’s compressing a construction story, a private-well story, and an AI story into a single image. They aren’t the same story."

@MatthewBerman new angle is the timeline is muddy, but the footage was real too
respect the essay, thats a proper rebuttal
@MatthewBerman phd + "put her claims to the test" tells me all i need to know about the slant
still curious whose wells actually turned brown though
I worked with those people. They don’t think like you. They don’t think, “let’s get X from Y to demonstrate Z.” They think how, “how can we sell X as linked to Y to tell the story of Z.” Where Z is the narrative, Y is a fringe case packaged as “facts on the ground”, and X is the most extreme instance (often an outlier) of a part of Z. Manufactured consent and the game of thrones is real. I lived it. I wrote Z to get $ from rich people to fund an organization that was a part of a “coalition” TO GET WHAT THEY RICH PEOPLE WANT. That SPLC funding the KKK story, brother that’s the tip of the iceberg.
@MatthewBerman one household on a private well 1,000 feet from a construction site is a localized hydrology problem, not a county-wide indictment. the jar was real. the scope wasn't
@MatthewBerman calling one prop proof of three different issues at once is wild
@MatthewBerman Matthew if you have not figured this out... Lemme just drop this here.
@MatthewBerman The future first retarded president
@MatthewBerman You will find nothing from a Democrat that does not play on emotion, fear, addiction, or lusting of less then bright people.
@MatthewBerman No one believed her claims in the first place (I hope)
@MatthewBerman
@MatthewBerman compressing three different things into one outrage always feels a bit convenient
@MatthewBerman i love AI but are we believing those dats centers are good for the local ecosystems
@MatthewBerman and your data sir?
@MatthewBerman idk man, pulling rank with a PhD in a QRT feels like you’re trying to dunk but ended up explaining puddles
@MatthewBerman she is smart but not enough to pick battles that have ground and in this case not even water…
@MatthewBerman Also this doesn’t mention this person lives across the street from a rivian plant
@InvincibleEdge jonah is really good it...try arguing with him about AI in our meetings 🤣
