Labor Day, indeed.  It's the day we celebrate work and workers but in 2026 many people don't want to work at all.  How did a nation with a great work ethic produce so many slackers, stoners and bottom-feeders?  And, the curious case of data center opposition as the cleanest and biggest new industry in American history is being rejected by a country built on smokestacks, coal mines, factories and electricity.  What's happening to us?

The Mark Belling Podcast

Mark Belling Podcast #161:  In a special podcast released on Labor Day, Mark argues that a lot of Americans just don't want to work at all anymore which is why many embrace socialism.  And a deep dive into data center opposition and how something has to give: we either embrace the jobs and money of these centers or kill off the economy's only real area of transformative growth.
