    then lobby your government to open more nuclear power plants? why do you anticipate a nuclear reactor owned by ms is going to be used for anything but what they as a company need it for? like yes it is a fucking waste for them to hoard an entire nuclear power plant to themselves… from the perspective of society at large… microsoft themselves probably view it as a good investment, not wasteful, why wouldn’t they?

    microsoft is a corp, they’re only beholden to profit. even if they could give a shit about the poors they wouldn’t unless it could make pretty lines go up.

    Because we really need that energy elsewhere rn

    yeah, i mean ig. lmao smh. “we” and “elsewhere” are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here in this sentence. i don’t mean to be a dick but this is poor rhetoric. “their nuclear power plant is selfish and bad bc i said so >:(“ really only serves to give libs canon fodder for the “personal responsibility^tm” gun. maybe not as frequently here on lemmy but in the real world that is the response this would get. ik it seems like pedantry but this is a serious issue with leftist messaging in the modern world.
