Sal Assante goes full throttle on the economic pain Americans are still feeling in 2026. Inflation isn’t “cooling off” — prices have skyrocketed since 2020 and never came back down. Gas has nearly doubled, groceries are crushing families, and everyday life keeps getting more expensive with no relief in sight. Now add the massive explosion of AI data centers sucking up insane amounts of electricity, water, and land. These tech giants are building digital empires while local communities face higher bills, strained infrastructure, and environmental damage. Sal connects the dots between runaway inflation, unchecked AI growth, failing government oversight, and the looming midterm elections. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on Youtube: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLw/videos/upload?filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7DFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:35 - The State of the Economy & Persistent Inflation05:40 - The Hidden Impact of AI Data Centers13:59 - Political Dynamics, Midterms & What’s Next
