Abundance isn't really about AI data centers but it probably should be, at least a little bit. Should we want them to be built in the UAE instead? Or in China? Would that be better for the environment? For our economy? For liberal democracy?.
Fundamentally, the Abundance™ agenda (cut red tape, i.e. deregulate, to facilitate building stuff) is about fast-tracking the construction of AI data centers.

There's a real truth here: I think it would be a lot easier to get the rich to go along with tax increases and redistribution if it was framed in terms of respect and social solidarity, rather than resentment and class warfare as the left so often does.
@dwallacewells This is right IMO: Would be smart to be a little nicer rhetorically about rich people, defuse the opposition that you rightly detected as grounded in respect rather than materiality, win more power and accomplish more stuff.

It's going to start building V-2 rockets, isn't it?.
Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books. And it will get much better.

It really sucks that enviro NIMBYs can extract their pound of flesh through endless litigation and now this Tahoe project will have 40% fewer bedrooms for people.

We must move forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom!

If I were concerned about my law enforcement agents being accosted, I would simply not have them dress and conduct themselves like members of a Mexican drug cartel.
Our brave ICE law enforcement officers are now facing a nearly 700% increase in assaults against them. Secretary Noem has been clear: if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. @TriciaOhio

I have to be honest, I don't understand why liberal and leftist Americans are so against ending jus soli citizenship. I get that Trump is very unlikely to replace it with something fair, but it so obviously opens your country up to birth tourism.

HUGE W TODAY! As Nolan says, this is probably the most impactful housing bill California has passed since the YIMBY movement began. Much more is still needed to reach abundance; let's get to work! 💪.
The impossible has become possible: we've passed a clean CEQA infill exemption. This is probably the most important thing California has done on housing in the present YIMBY moment.

We shouldn't be so hard on Peskin here. After all, he has TWO full kitchens to stock!.
Aaron Peskin shops at Whole Foods on California? You'd think he'd go to Luke's or Trader Joe’s in his own hood. Shop local and support your neighborhood businesses, am I right Aaron? 😉

If we're going to just completely ignore the reconciliation rules, we really might as well just get rid of the filibuster entirely. What's the point otherwise?.
