So they're getting $60 million from letting some AI thing scrape their site. I can't imagine the ad revenue is worth the other $6.44 billion.

What’s your server hardware like? I finally have a dedicated machine for mine by getting an old desktop for free just last year. -
A huge chunk of agricultural farmers here in Utah export their harvests. Not just out of the state. But out of the country and across the Pacific. So I absolutely want to pick on the farmers. Or buy them out. Or cover the costs of them relocating plus a little bonus for their troubles. Or whatever it takes to get them to stop farming here. We live in a desert. We import pretty much all of our food anyways. Chinese cows will just need to get their feed from somewhere else. It feels weird complaining about a high-efficiency, desert resilient plant like alfalfa. But .2% of the state's GDP cannot be taking up to three quarters of our water every year when we're in a decades long drought. The Great Salt Lake is economically important, and we'd be having a different conversation if it drying up was just ending up an economic wash (which it would be). But the environmental effects will be disastrous even to these farmers and we can't do the typical conservative "it's not a problem unless it happens to me" waiting game with stuff like this.

Quoting a portion of your quote @Commissar SFLUFAN For the most part, this is not correct. Farmers here do NOT understand (or at a minimum do not care about) this. They use every last drop of water they are legally allowed to so that they don't get their allotment cut for the next season. Some laws are trying to change this. But they gotta feed the thirsty alfalfa plant and ship it off to Chinese cows. Our governor was an alfalfa farmer. He is very legitimately concerned about water usage.

I don't give patronage to businesses with surge pricing. But if one ever came around that did dynamic decline pricing in a similar manner I'd start throwing money at them.
