the money being talked about is so large that eventually the lobbyists will get their checks and the politicians will pass laws forbidding local scrutiny of data centers
Avicebron•7m ago
Is that money staying in the area with the data centers though or do we suspect it will mostly leave? Perhaps enriching owners of the data centers elsewhere..

Much of the money is funny and doesn’t actually exist (yet).

what's funny is the website looks AI generated though that's just the style of the time i guess.

"...investigating data centers is quickly becoming its own beat"

ie it is in the interest of the writers to tap into (and foment) the FUD around "data centers."

c'mon now it's not nice to say mean things about ed zitron like that
ViktorRay•3m ago
I saw a comment from another site that a lot of the data center locations on this map aren’t accurate. Is there any truth to that?
