    Tax breaks for them and then we have to make up the difference. Electricity breaks for them and then we have to make up the difference. If these are such big companies making billions of dollars why do they need fucking help and force their costs onto us.

      They don’t need your help, they’re just playing the game like every other company. Almost every industry gets tax breaks, it’s not just datacenters. Everything from airplanes and automobile production to oil and gas extraction gets subsidies, despite being massively profitable.

      Your argument is weak, try again.

      I’m not saying data centers are good. I’m just saying that the arguments people are making against them are weak as fuck when they don’t complain or protest against other industries that are literally 100x worse.
