Sorta like how corporations pushed recycling onto the public to deflect from their own culpability for pollution. Why would we regulate the companies building huge data centers when we can get average people to absorb the cost? It’s not like they’re making obscene profits while laying off untold thousands.
I mean, if that was the case, sure, let’s have them pay to clean up the waste they generate. But have you seen NVIDIA, Microsoft, or Meta lately? These companies are barely staying in business. Their CEOs can hardly afford to ride the bus to work. Let’s cut them a break.
TLDR: It’s your fault the earth is dying because you horde emails.
The current crop of politicians (not just in the UK) is something else. They keep poking their nose at things that are not their concern and fail spectacularly at fixing things that are (health, housing, employment, education, infrastructures).
