Saw this on Facebook. I wish I had seen the comments but the admin shut them off.

Well my work just told me I can’t work there anymore unless I’m vaccinated. I run 2 departments there and have been for almost 2 years. I even moved down here to be better available for 24/7 on call work.
It’s crazy, so I need a job. Anyone hiring? I am a highly skilled craftsman and problem solver. I have killer leadership skills and know how to run a team. I can manage a budget and multiple long term projects. I’m a welder as well and do amazing custom work. I have 2 weeks to find something, as of July 1st I’ll be out on unpaid leave...

It also requires truly phenomenal amounts of water. Last time I checked, Texas is in a significant drought period. Even if not, it's still not clear to me that Texas' water resources could begin to handle crypto's water requirements.

Wait, what?? What is the connection between cryptocurrency and water??
Is it that you need water to keep the super computers cool???

That's just awful. People are so damned stupid (and selfish?). I knew about the electricity waste but that about the water is news - very bad news.
