@lin11c @gerrymcgovern it's basically "we'll provide your city with jobs if you give us this tax break; if not, we'll go somewhere else with our jobs."

or, conversely, "hey big tech, we'll give you massive tax breaks if you bring us more jobs."

taking hostages, or bribery -- either way it's disgusting.

These mega corps lie about how many jobs are actually created. With AI, forget about jobs. They will need even more water and power to run that machine. Once they are embedded in the community they will hide information and control litigation. No way to fight them and their limitless funds.

And the weird thing about data centers is that they bring hardly any jobs, maybe 20-50 for a typical large data center, and lots of those jobs are low paying contract or security work. It's a scam.
