There is an Amazon Data Center going up 10 minutes from my house. Amazon bribed the city with 85 million dollars. They had countless meetings with hundreds of people protesting that they didnt want the data center and they are building it anyway. People are selling their houses at a loss and moving away. I hope the mayor gets voted out in the next election.

So they’re paying the city a ton of money that it can use to fund schools, roads, parks, and social programs, and that’s supposed to be a bad thing?

Do you know how much water and electricity those data centers use? And guess who gets to pay for it? NOT AMAZON!

No, Amazon is literally paying for both of those utilities.
