Contractually obligate the data center to provide those supposed benefits and they will mysteriously move to another locale
post
Is there any location that is happy about their data center? I haven't read any article about a community realising the benefits yet
I spent a few minutes searching, but yeah, I don’t see many stories of actual places. A lot is industry white papers about “how could they be beneficial for you?!”
CNN ran some story, but it’s pay-walled, and I don’t know how to remove those. https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/11/business/data-centers-ai-economy
I’ve heard consistently more stories about the problems from real people living near them, plus the horror stories online like Meta sludge run-off.
Did they even try to present a future where communities with data centers benefit?
Do data centers create jobs? No.
Do they reduce the cost of living? No.
Do they bring up property values? No.
Keep insulting your base, see how that goes for you.
He can put data centers at the white house and his homes if he wants, but miss me with that!
and jobs all over the place,
What? That doesn't line up at all with how anyone is selling the damn things! The entire pitch coming from the industry is that it will remove jobs! "Stop hiring humans" anyone? Am I crazy?!
Of course not. Donnie was probably given some talking points from his billionaire buddies, and being the person he is, didn't read them. I doubt he even knows what a data center does. They're just something he was paid to say we should want. We already know he's not exactly 100% there mentally, and we already know it is really easy to bribe the fucker, so this shouldn't be a surprise.
Still, the fact that anyone still thinks that getting this guy to endorse a product will help make it more popular with the public continues to confound me.
Terrified little pig spouting lies upon lies to defend his fragile ego.
Just fucking die already.
If that's Trump's opinion i must be forward and rich. Well, rich in friends maybe.
