One conclusion that I've made while living through record breaking hotter summers and poorer quality air is that I would much rather have breathable air and a habitable temperatures outdoors then a billion dollars. The quality of life afforded by having the ability of going outside and not feeling like I'm dying is worth way more that any about of money.

whats quite tragic is that I'm now realizing that this is something I've taken for granted.

[Unfortunately, this article did not address at all the environmental impacts of data centers, which is huge.]

Indiana joins the billionaire stadium welfare program

First, Kansas decided to help fund the National Football League’s (NFL) Kansas City Chiefs move from Missouri to Kansas earlier this year to the tune of $2.8 billion. Now, Indiana will be doling out $1 billion to help the Chicago Bears move to neighboring Hammond, Indiana.

Just like Kansas, there are many more useful purposes for $1 billion that could greatly benefit the average residents of Indiana than another football stadium. Perhaps, improving the quality of life for all Hoosiers would be a useful alternative?

Per CNBC, Indiana received a grade of F and was ranked 48th in the nation in terms of Quality of Life in 2025. Only Texas and Tennessee are worse. Weaknesses are Child Care, Reproductive Rights, Inclusiveness, and Air Quality. – cnbc.com

But today, welfare for the rich and corporations appears to outweigh any empathy, sympathy, or care for the sick, poor, unhoused, the needy, or the unfortunate.

“Funny how so many wealthy people and corporate interests despise socialism (such as welfare) until THEY want it or need it.” – Panethos.wordpress.com

As long as more Americans keep voting against their own best interests, these kind of disjointed priorities will likely continue.

Sad…
