PR to appease the administration I guess
SeanAnderson•1h ago
Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Virginia and an article referencing Sundar at the White House.

Seems pretty clear to me :)

EDIT: to be clear, I think investing in struggling, predominately red states is totally fine and good. I'm more taking issue with the way this information is presented. The red/blue text gradient, the "investing in America" focus, etc. It feels specifically crafted to appeal to a certain mindset. Contrast this with, say, the roll-out of Google Fiber in Kansas, etc. where the focus was on technology not patriotism.

The fact that every company feels the need to do this shit simping for Trump just so that they can try not to get put on the chopping block is a shame on this country.
marcinzm•1h ago
You mean like every company implementing DEI for the last administration? I don't like Trump but this is how both sides have been playing politics. I suspect I'll get downvoted and flagged for this which I think will prove my point.
bix6•1h ago
Maybe some companies implemented DEI because civil rights matter to people? And those that care have kept it.

Trump just cut a bunch of money to blue state projects. Did the last admin do that to the red states? 60% of Biden’s infrastructure bill went to red states.

marcinzm•1h ago
> Maybe some companies implemented DEI because civil rights matter to people? And those that care have kept it.

And some companies care about hiring in America and always have. This is an article about Google which dropped DEI the second it could. Clearly it didn't really care.

actionfromafar•1h ago
It’s just that we still have DEI. The uplifted group is just much smaller - billionaire friends of Trump.
slg•1h ago
It is so bizarre the way some people act like all DEI policies were introduced between January 2021 and January 2025. I can understand being against the policies, but people are just straight lying about how, why, and when those policies came to be.
marcinzm•1h ago
And Trump isn't the first person to push for hiring in America or other such things. Under both Obama and Biden companies, government and academia significantly increased DEI spending. Multiple executive orders were signed by both to promoted DEI.

Fun fact, my comment said nothing against DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse on both sides. Even implying something isn't 200% amazing means you must be utterly opposed to it's very concept.

slg•1h ago
>Fun fact, my comment said nothing against DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse

Fun fact, my comment said nothing in support of DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse.

DEI was not implemented "for the last administration" like you implied. My comment was not even really about DEI, it was criticizing you for implying something that wasn't true. And you seem to know it yourself with the way you subtly shifted the conversation from "the last administration" to "under both Obama and Biden", pushing the age of these policies back another 12 years.

I'm sure that there were individual press releases that outlined each of these investments but it is nice to have them all in one place.

I thought that Google was doing more than ~30B in data centers, and some of the write ups talk about over the next 2 years.

I don't understand the objective if it isn't comprehensive.

bgwalter•1h ago
Suddenly the pictures look like in the 1990s again. This is the company that radicalized software engineers and open source projects throughout the Biden administration and cheered on any woke cancellation.

And if Harris is elected in 2028, they'll flip again. I've never seen such blatant cowardice and treachery.

FredPret•1h ago
Off-topic, but do you think Harris is the likely D candidate?

I'm a mere observer of American politics, but both Polymarket and electionbettingodds.com have Gavin Newsom in the lead to be the candidate, and JD Vance to win the election.

They have been advertising this initiative with various physical signage in Washington DC for the last several months. Very squarely targeted at lawmakers and the current administration.

What’s the point of having fuck-you money if you don’t ever tell anyone “fuck you”?

And if not these fascist wannabes, then who?

I get the business case of appeasing the folks in power. But this is embarrassing—precisely the folks that have enough power and influence to resist Balkanizing our economy and society are bending the knee, and they don’t have to.

deadbabe•1h ago
One of the first things you realize when you attain fuck you money is… there’s always a bigger fuck you.

You’re a billionaire? Nice, you depend on a stable government that enforces laws and protects you from violence for that to mean anything.

pessimizer•1h ago
Google is owned and run by oligarchs. Your theory of power is way off. You think the game show host and the wrestling valet, surrounded by the clown show of fox news blondes, financial fraudsters, and operators is the real power, and the people who run everything are the anti-fascists. Woke banks.

I know the purpose of getting you to think like that: even when you win, you'll lose. Then it will be the MAGA side thinking that the bubble-headed soulless dipshit Dem that's in the office is keeping down the poor tech industry and billionaires, and the cycle will continue.

Arubis•1h ago
I don’t expect woke banks. I expect people to think there’s value to living in a society.
jeffbee•1h ago
I don't think this has much or anything to do with Trump. Data center industry is beset from the left by those ignorant of thermodynamics and angry that they studied English. More articles are published every week about how much energy or water the data center industry consumes than have ever been written about any industry in the history of written commentary, even when the other industries are hundreds or thousands of times more energy intensive. So the data center industry is out here trying to defend itself even though it is the only industry that builds its own renewable power plants, the only industry that is thoroughly transparent about its energy and water consumption, and an extreme outlier in terms of value gained for little impact.
actionfromafar•1h ago
Dammit. I should have known not to study English!

It's OK to study English, but it helps to squeeze in some elective thermodynamics and statistics if you can!

Oh, I know this! Coming from a third world country, this kind of communication from major companies looks familiar. It happens because uncertainty about rule of law, so the company needs to show public alliegeance to the ruler to obtain protection (and favors eventually). We call this boot licking.

This initiative is meaningless if it doesn’t create jobs in the range where most employees are being shed in this new economy. It doesn’t mean that everyone needs to work for Google, just that FAANG companies need to invest in all sorts of places, for whatever suits their interests. Maybe this also means more incubators, or non-profit research programs to bolster foundational research.
