NBC News · Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs reportBy Steve Kopack

Coming soon to a newsfeed near you:

People flee Numptyville, TX as town runs out of water. “We haven’t been able to wash anything for a while, but now we just need water to drink” says man gesturing at his dusty family. “We just can’t afford the trucked in water now that his work is done,” his wife explains, referring to the job he had building data-centres upstream. “We’re gonna try heading up to Alberta,” the man continues, “I’ve heard they’re gonna start building data centres like crazy up there. Mebbe enough that I can retire before they run out of water.”
