Hey everybody, how's it going? Hope you

0:01

have a lovely day. Welcome to today's

0:02

episode of how you're not getting

0:03

[ __ ] I'm your host Louis Rossmann and

0:04

I like to try to give you a bit of a

0:08

guide on how you can try and reverse the

0:10

tide against something shitty that I

0:11

talked about on my channel recently. I

0:13

did this video yesterday talking about a

0:14

data center that was going to be

0:15

installed in Taylor, Texas. Now you may

0:17

wonder, what do I care about data

0:18

centers? Is Louis anti-data center? What

0:19

is this this like? I don't usually talk

0:21

about this stuff. I usually talk about

0:22

people that are getting [ __ ] or

0:23

getting screwed. And here, the

0:25

installation of the data center in and

0:26

of itself is not the bad thing. The bad

0:28

thing is the fact that this thing is

0:30

getting installed in a place that was

0:31

supposed to be a park. A kind older

0:33

gentleman over 20 years ago gave the

0:35

city 87 acres of land in exchange for

0:37

$10. And the reason I say gave is cuz

0:39

when we're talking about 87 acres of

0:40

land and $10, I'm just going to go ahead

0:42

and call that a donation if that's okay

0:44

with you. And it says right here in the

0:45

deed that this was supposed to be left

0:47

to a Texas non-profit corporation to be

0:49

held in trust for future use as a

0:50

parkland. And that land that was

0:52

supposed to be used and or held in trust

0:54

for a park is now getting used to put in

0:56

a data center. I'm not against data

0:58

centers universally. I'm against doing

0:59

them in the wrong way. And a data center

1:02

is the opposite of a park. I'm not

1:03

usually the guy that comes out here and

1:04

says "They pollute the air and they're

1:05

bad for the environment and all that

1:06

stuff." But a data center is literally

1:08

the opposite of a park. You couldn't do

1:10

worse than this. And not only are they

1:11

putting a data center where a park was

1:12

supposed to be, they're putting it where

1:14

land was donated to the city by a kind

1:16

older gentleman for use as a park after

1:18

he died. So this man can't even object

1:19

to this. He can't even yell about his

1:21

original intention because he died in

1:22

2017. That's a really shitty thing to

1:24

do. When I made my video on this, I

1:25

noticed something. And tell me if you

1:27

notice this in the comments. There are a

1:29

number of bots that have their name, a

1:32

dash, and then a license plate number,

1:33

which makes them easier to spot.

1:35

Taylor's economic employment center

1:36

zoning has allowed industrial

1:37

development since the 1970s. M-dash,

1:40

that's not a recent imposition from

1:41

above, that's decades-old local planning

1:43

reflecting Taylor's own economic

1:44

development goals.

1:45

It's not ABC, it's DEF with XYZ blah

1:48

blah blah. M-dash, M-dash.

1:51

Where the [ __ ] is the M-dash on the

1:52

keyboard? How many people here know how

1:53

to make a [ __ ] M-dash in Mozilla

1:54

Firefox when typing YouTube comments?

1:56

Exactly. Exactly. I have an entire

2:00

GitHub repo. It's called no AI slop

2:02

writing rules. And if they had read

2:03

their [ __ ] cloud code project or

2:04

reading this bot, they would have been

2:05

able to install some no AI slop writing

2:07

rules so that it wasn't very easy to

2:08

tell that this is written by ChatGPT.

2:10

But they didn't read it, the same way

2:11

they didn't read the [ __ ] deed before

2:13

buying the property. And if you look

2:14

through this video, you'll see that

2:15

there's tons of accounts with

2:17

astroturfing made by these bots for

2:19

public meetings on record. {m-dash}

2:21

August 2nd, August 8th, April 11th, and

2:23

June 20th, 2025. thing was hidden in

2:25

development corporation was illegally

2:26

required to conduct community outreach,

2:27

but the meetings were open to the public

2:29

at every required step. If the public

2:30

was 100% against it, those meetings were

2:31

the place to show up. The opportunity

2:33

was there.

2:36

I'm responding to a bot. I feel stupid

2:37

responding to a bot, but I'm going to do

2:39

it anyway cuz I have a feeling that as

2:40

time goes on, I'm going to be doing a

2:41

lot of communication with robots,

2:43

whether I like it or not. I had an issue

2:45

with New York where there was a warrant

2:46

and a lien put out on my company. The

2:48

warrant and the lien that was put out on

2:49

my company was put out and I never saw

2:52

it. I never responded to it. I never did

2:53

anything about it. The reason I didn't

2:54

do anything about it is cuz A, the

2:56

warrant and the lien which were taxes

2:57

that I already paid, that I had proof

2:58

that I already paid,

2:59

they took the money out of my bank

3:00

account, so I figured they were okay

3:01

with it. The warrant and the lien was

3:03

sent to a PO box in Berwick, Maine.

3:05

I lived in Brooklyn. My business was in

3:07

Manhattan. I have no business in

3:08

Berwick, Maine. I don't go to Berwick,

3:10

Maine. Why would I look to see if I had

3:11

a warrant on me? I don't spend every day

3:13

waking up, drinking coffee, petting

3:15

blackberry, and then just googling, "Is

3:17

there a warrant out on Louis Rossmann?"

3:19

It's not the way that I do my day. And

3:21

most people who live in a town don't

3:23

look at the deeds for people who died to

3:25

figure out whether or not they donated

3:27

land to be a park 20 years ago. That's

3:29

not something people do. So you're

3:30

right. Many people may have not shown up

3:32

because they may have not known about

3:34

this. But I have a feeling that you did.

3:35

And in the beginning, I thought maybe

3:36

this was just a mistake or something

3:38

that was skipped over on the part of the

3:40

company. But now I don't think that's

3:42

the case anymore. Because if you're the

3:43

type of person to

3:46

astroturf on a video that at the time

3:48

that you started astroturfing on it had

3:49

less than 8,000 comments with AI

3:52

chatbots, something tell again

3:55

No, I'm not giving the benefit of the

3:56

doubt anymore. I was before, but I'm not

3:58

anymore. You're asking people in the

3:59

town

4:00

to be aware of the deed of every single

4:02

property. They didn't catch that you did

4:04

a [ __ ] up thing.

4:06

They didn't know. They weren't looking.

4:08

But now they know that you did a [ __ ]

4:09

up thing and they're trying to undo it.

4:11

And I'm okay with that. L chime {dash}

4:13

K7I, so you have a name, a dash, and a

4:15

license plate, same pattern. The doors

4:16

weren't closed {end dash} for public

4:18

meetings all on the record, all

4:19

verifiable. August this, this, this,

4:21

this. Standard municipal scheduling

4:23

isn't a hurried conspiracy. Now, I said

4:25

closed doors, I'm referring to the fact

4:26

that in this particular meeting that we

4:28

were talking about, there was a meeting

4:30

with the lawyers in the city council,

4:31

and that was behind closed doors

4:34

where people couldn't see. And they were

4:35

discussing the legality of this

4:37

particular issue. This is the same

4:38

comment over again. Michael {dash}

4:40

license plate. Treason is a specific

4:41

legal charge requiring betrayal of

4:43

country {end dash} approving illegal

4:44

development on industrial zone land

4:46

through public meetings doesn't meet

4:47

that bar by any legal definition.

4:49

Pirates steal. Taylor's council sold

4:50

public land through documented legal

4:52

process and directed the proceeds to

4:53

schools and infrastructure. Disagree

4:55

with the decision all you want, but the

4:56

language of treason and criminality

4:57

requires actual crimes, and four public

4:59

meetings plus a court ruling says

5:00

otherwise. I like how many people are

5:02

able to see that it is a bot. Not a bot,

5:04

just someone who disagreed with the

5:05

video and said so. Easy to test {end

5:07

dash} respond to the actual point

5:09

instead of the username. The city

5:10

retained a 15-acre buffer and the site

5:11

is 2,000 ft from an existing park.

5:13

Respect looks like 20 million going to

5:14

the school district. Craig {dash}

5:16

license plate. Public records requests

5:17

are available to anyone in Texas {end

5:19

dash} Financial disclosures of public

5:20

officials are accessible. If there's

5:22

evidence of improper enrichment, that's

5:23

a legitimate avenue to pursue. But the

5:25

10 million dollar went to a public

5:26

entity and 50 million dollars in

5:28

projected revenue goes to public

5:29

services. The money trail is documented

5:30

and auditable right now without a

5:31

forensic account. So, the first thing

5:33

that you should do is, please, for the

5:35

love of God, before you do this again,

5:37

add my no AI slop rules to your cloud

5:39

code project. I put this out there for

5:40

free. And secondly, put a note or a

5:42

memory in your cloud code project that

5:43

you shouldn't use dash and then a

5:44

license plate number for all of the

5:46

accounts that are bots because it makes

5:47

it very easy to see that they're bots.

5:49

But, getting to the point here, the

5:50

reason that I think the residents of

5:51

Taylor have something to be excited

5:53

about and proud about is you actually

5:54

have a chance to win. This company

5:55

realizes they're in deep [ __ ] You don't

5:57

hire AstorTurfing bots to go after a

6:00

YouTuber that has 8,000 views in the

6:02

video at the time unless you genuinely

6:04

believe that you [ __ ] up. You don't

6:05

hire an AstorTurfing company or

6:06

reputation management firm or spin up

6:08

cloud code and then like rush out your

6:11

botnet without even installing no AI

6:13

slop rules unless you believe that

6:15

you're wrong. You don't hire a

6:16

reputation management company if you

6:18

didn't [ __ ] something up, if you're not

6:19

nervous. This is not the way a confident

6:21

company that believes in their decisions

6:23

act. This is the way a company acts when

6:24

they realize that they've screwed up,

6:26

they've done something wrong, they've

6:27

been caught with their pants down, oh

6:28

[ __ ] what do I do? Just my opinion.

6:31

You guys are winning.

6:32

And it was only four or six of you that

6:34

showed up and you're still winning.

6:35

They're afraid. They're a company that

6:37

had the money to do this and they're

6:38

still afraid. You're winning. You got

6:39

them on the ropes. Keep going.

6:41

There were only four or six of you that

6:42

showed up last time. Next time the city

6:44

council hearing, I want to see 60 of you

6:45

show up at least. This is something I

6:47

have a long history of personal

6:48

experience with. So, if the company

6:49

behind this data center thinks that

6:50

they're just going to do this and I'm

6:52

not going to notice it and call you out

6:53

on it, you're crazy. This happened to me

6:55

over 14 years ago. The one of my first

6:57

hit videos on this channel when I had

6:58

less than 100 subscribers, it got

6:59

100,000 views. It was

7:00

resellerratings.com extortion scheme,

7:02

how it works. resellerratings.com is a

7:04

website that allowed small e-commerce

7:06

shops to get reviews for their business.

7:08

Now, why would somebody pay 30 or 100 or

7:11

$7,000 a month to use their service?

7:13

Because back in the day, Google would

7:14

only show stars next to your business

7:16

listing in the Google shopping results

7:18

if you were searching Google for

7:19

products if you had reviews on certain

7:21

websites. And those certain websites

7:22

acted like a troll toll and took

7:24

advantage of this greatly. And I went

7:25

over that in this video, how they would

7:27

hike your rate and actually brag that

7:28

there are people out there paying over

7:29

$7,000 for this and I thought that it

7:31

was extortion. After I did my video on

7:33

it, you could see that the the

7:35

vandalism is still up. The subtitles for

7:37

the video are complete utter garbage. I

7:40

I getting 1,000 comments a day saying

7:41

spam and misleading, spam and

7:42

misleading, spam and misleading. And

7:44

when I look at my YouTube analytics,

7:45

it's really weird because my channel

7:46

with a hundred subscribers was getting

7:47

thousands and thousands of views from

7:49

something like Malaysia, Vietnam,

7:51

Thailand, and it's just

7:52

like nice try, [ __ ] I see what

7:54

you're doing. I talked about it in a

7:55

follow-up video. And that is what I see

7:57

going on here. If you're willing to show

7:58

up to visit your city council and let

8:00

them know about all of this, I am

8:01

willing to continue covering it. And to

8:03

be clear, this is not something that I'm

8:04

doing for the money. It's something I'm

8:06

doing because I don't like bullies. I

8:07

flew to California last week because I

8:09

didn't like what Michael Bloomberg is

8:10

trying to do to destroy 3D printing and

8:12

manufacturing in America. The video that

8:14

I did on that made $20. My channel has a

8:16

CPM of like 50 cents. If I do a video

8:18

that gets 44,000 views, I make $20.

8:21

I I spent more money on the cat sitter

8:23

to give Mr. Clinton his pill and feed

8:25

Blackberry in one trip than what I made

8:27

off of the video going there. That's not

8:28

the point of the matter. The point is to

8:31

let bullies know that they don't win. I

8:33

don't care if the videos of me going to

8:34

Taylor and doing a recording of the

8:36

entire city hall and trying to get

8:37

people excited to show up does not make

8:39

me money. That's not the point. The The

8:41

point is to make sure that the bullies

8:42

get what's coming to them. And in my

8:43

opinion, what the bullies here have

8:44

coming to them is learning that they

8:47

spent ten million dollars on a piece of

8:48

land that they are going to have to deal

8:51

with having as a park.

8:52

Because that's what it said in the deed.

8:54

So, what I think all of you need to do

8:56

is you need to show up.

8:57

And if you do show up,

8:59

I'll make sure that everybody sees that

9:00

you showed up. I'll make sure to tell

9:01

your story. I'll make sure to try and

9:03

encourage as many people to show up as

9:04

possible.

9:05

And when you show up, you need to let

9:06

the city council know that when they

9:07

make this difficult decision, that

9:08

you're going to be there supporting

9:09

them. You have to understand that the

9:11

current city council did not

9:13

sell this land. People that were there

9:15

before them did that. They're in the

9:17

position to have to apologize for what

9:18

other people did. They're either going

9:20

to have to screw over the community by

9:21

not giving them their park or screw over

9:23

themselves and maybe the community again

9:24

by telling this large company, "Hey, I

9:27

know you bought this land for ten

9:28

million dollars, but you can't build a

9:29

data center there. Sorry." And then get

9:31

sued. And then the money that would

9:32

otherwise, the resources that would go

9:34

towards recycling and trash pickup and

9:36

everything else is now going to have to

9:37

go towards hiring a big law firm to

9:39

defend themselves against this company.

9:41

The city council is [ __ ] no matter

9:42

what they do. So, I think what would be

9:44

a very good approach here is showing up

9:45

to the city council and letting them

9:46

know that. We want you to do the right

9:48

thing. We don't want this in our

9:49

community. And here's the thing, we

9:50

understand that if you make that

9:52

decision for us,

9:53

that's going to suck. Not just for you,

9:54

but for us. But, we want you to know

9:56

that we're there for you if you make

9:57

that decision. So, when you say that

9:58

we're going to have half as much

9:59

recycling pick up as we did before,

10:01

we're not going to curse you out and say

10:02

we're voting somebody else in. We're

10:03

going to say, "You know what? That

10:04

sucks, but we're going to take the licks

10:05

together because you did the right thing

10:07

for us. It's easier for people in

10:08

authority to do the right thing when

10:10

they know that they have the support of

10:11

the community." Let your city council

10:13

know that you have the support of the

10:14

community. Let them know that the

10:15

Reseller Ratings of the World of this

10:16

company that came up with this [ __ ] up

10:17

data center are not the people that are

10:19

going to win. And again, this is not

10:21

about being anti-data center. I've never

10:22

done a video on this channel, not once,

10:24

going over how I think all data centers

10:26

are universally bad. That's what not

10:28

what this is about, and that's what

10:29

those comments are trying to phrase it

10:30

as. I'm against you building a data

10:31

center where you promised you were going

10:33

to build a park.

10:35

That's it.

10:36

Simple, basic common sense. I have no

10:38

problem with an industrial data center.

10:40

I have no problem with an industrial

10:41

garage where mechanics are working on

10:43

cars. Just don't put the industrial

10:44

garage where a daycare is supposed to

10:46

be. It just doesn't belong there. It's

10:48

that simple.

10:49

Fulfill your obligations to the person

10:51

that wrote that deed. Do the right

10:52

thing. Show up and make sure that your

10:54

city council knows that when they do the

10:55

right thing that you will support them

10:56

for doing the right thing. And to the

10:57

people making those bots in my comment

10:59

section,

11:00

I see what you're doing. My audience

11:01

does, too.

11:03

The city residents do. You're not

11:04

changing anybody's opinion here. If

11:06

anything, you're making their opinion of

11:07

you worse because before,

11:09

maybe they're just greedy, maybe they

11:10

made a mistake. But, now they can see

11:12

that there's malicious intent involved.

11:14

That's not helping your position at all.

11:16

And I'm going to make sure of it.

11:18

That's it for today.

11:19

And as always, I hope you learned

11:21

something.

11:22

You're about to learn a $10 million

11:24

lesson that you won't soon forget.

11:26

Bye now.

Interactive Summary

Louis Rossmann discusses the controversial construction of a data center on land in Taylor, Texas, that was originally donated to be used as a park. He highlights the use of astroturfing bots in his comment section as evidence of the company's lack of confidence and malicious intent. He encourages residents to attend city council meetings to support officials if they decide to honor the original deed and push back against the project.
