    If they didn’t screw up locals power and water prices, they wouldn’t have so much popular blowback. Noise complaints have been a thing about crappy data centers for a long time. Two, employment is just a short surge to build and fit them out. Data centers aren’t employing people long term like non-automated manufacturing hubs. You’re not getting a hundreds of thousands member strong data center workers of America union to champion new builds. I haven’t come across a city where damn near everyone I meet works in relation to a data center. At least not yet. I do find that for damn near every sort of manufacturing/warehouse giant employers

    Both could be true. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are doing it, heck if I were them, it’s a prime opportunity to fan the flames. That doesn’t mean the hate is manufactured or the concerns aren’t valid. The billionaires did this to themselves.
