💸 Microsoft, Google say their data centers create thousands of jobs. Their permit filings say otherwise
｢ The facilities on average offer about 90 positions, and some have as few as 20. Former workers and local campaigners told Rest of World that most of the positions are in security and cleaning ｣

@jbz @AndrewHenry funny how quick they'll take credit for scope 3 jobs before taking credit for scope 1 carbon emissions.
@jbz These folks don't realize that they can't gaslight Americans on this issue anymore.
But they can still brute-force all the approvals, tax breaks, and eminent domain seizures.
And they will. These rural counties all voted for the authoritarianism that's being mobilized against them.
@jbz doesnt sound like enough people to find and evict squatters, saboteurs etc...
@jbz I feel like the proliferation of data centers (See also: "surveillance centers") is an issue that needs address. However, I almost exclusively only hear complaining about them rather than proposed solutions to them. They are an issue and they are not going away. How can we force them to be more symbiotic than invasive to the areas they're build, or is this simply an adjustment phase such as the industrial era pre-EPA?
