Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.
