49ers Substation Expansion, Data Centers and Silicon Valley Infrastructure

Addressing critics, Cowan points out that while the 49ers have practiced at the same site since 1988, the substation underwent a massive 2,000% capacity expansion in 2014. This upgrade was driven by the energy demands of Levi's Stadium and the growing density of data centers in Santa Clara. The facility is now one of the largest regional transmission hubs in the system.

Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Corporate Personhood

The 1886 Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad established that private corporations are "natural persons" under the US Constitution. This ruling granted corporations the same protections under the Bill of Rights as average citizens, allowing them to dominate the workforce and political landscape by 1920. This legal shift effectively marginalized small businesses in favor of big trusts and corporate influence.
