    This, by the way, is how data centres work only worse. Even a hyperscale data centre in the gigawatt range is very unlikely to employ more than a hundred people. After initial construction - which will often be handled by out of state specialists, not locals - their effect on employment is basically nil. They’re sold to voters as a big deal for the community they’re in but in reality they just make noise, drink all the water and jack up power prices for no benefit.

      Voters got wise and governors ignored them, Whitmore for MI for example. Another lesson in, conservative dems are dems in name only.

      Oh no, Kevin O’Leary says Chinese influencers are preventing his data centres, not fucking math.

      Don’t send him back to Canada, we scraped this shit off our shoes years ago.
