Field notes
The page uses Prince William County’s data-center disputes as its recurring setting, connecting local approvals and project delays to a broader AI-infrastructure contest. Its ledger mixes attributed figures with pointed commentary, while the reading-room links provide specific local examples and a directory of Chinese AI companies. The homepage’s satirical intent is strongly implied by its reversal of the usual patriotic argument, but is not explicitly stated in the extracted text.
